Signature on the Saint Lawrence SSL would like to inform residents that, starting October 15, and for the next couple weeks, SSL will conduct the final architectural lighting tests on the Samuel-De Champlain Bridge. The tests will take place between 6 pm and 6 am.
Different themes and intensities of colors will be tested. The animations will not be not necessarily representative of what will be shown on a permanent basis.
Light-emitting diode luminaires : LED
The architectural lighting system on the Samuel De Champlain Bridge is composed of more than 7500 individually controllable LED luminaires, installed under the structure and on the main pylon.Each luminaire can display an almost infinite palette of colors. The lighting control will be centralized and will display programmable themes of adjustable colors, intensity and duration of time.
The basic theme will be a blank display but themes associated with major events will be possible. Architectural lighting will normally be in use from dusk to 1 am.
