Re: Re: O’ Connell Street

Here they are illuminated.

Watching over O’Connell Street’s resident public transport fleet:

A few months ago, probably following on from the GPO installation, new exceptionally powerful LED strips were installed on many, if not all, of the city’s bridges in place of the older ones. Because they are so intense, there’s thankfully no need for an ugly strip to be placed at the top of the balustrade too – now it’s just at the bottom. The shiny casings still need to be toned down though – why can’t they have a matt stone finish?

The orange on O’Connell Bridge contrasts very well with the white halogen bulbs of the lanterns above. The light also makes quite a statement on the inside of the bridge as viewed from the pavement.

The punters are impressed 🙂
