Auckland Harbour Bridge - Permanent Multi-Coloured Lighting

Six hundred and thirty solar panels and one gigantic energy storage battery, producing enough energy for 200 homes for more than two hours, will power the bridge lights. The bridge will feature nearly 90,000 LED lights and 200 floodlights, using just half the energy of standard lighting and lasting five to seven times longer. The planning and installation of the lights is expected to take several months once council planning, consenting and NZTA approval processes have been completed. It is hoped that the lights will be turned on at a special event before the end of 2017.
