London Eye
London, England
In December 2006 Color Kinetics added another global landmark to its growing list of prominent installations: the British Airways London Eye.

Situated on the South Bank of the River Thames and often called the “Gateway to London,” the London Eye is the world’s largest observation wheel at nearly 450 feet (135 m) high, and is visited by more than 10,000 people daily. It was previously lit by fluorescent tubes that proved costly to maintain, and required the manual installation of gels to produce colored light for special events.
