February 25, 2009, a dedicated group of supporters gathered at Old South Meeting House to celebrate the unveiling of Light Boston's latest project: the beautiful illumination of the Meeting House steeple. The illumination of this 1729 landmark coincided with the Meeting House's restoration of its historic tower clock. As if by design, these two incredible projects were both completed in the last few weeks of the project. Now, the steeple is beautifully washed in light and the spectacular clock quiety ticks again high above Washington Street. To learn more about this celebration, click here.
The Committee for a Brighter Common and the Boston Parks and Recreation Department requested proposals to enliven our annual holiday lighting on the Boston Common. Under consideration is a proposal using LED lighting from Board member Doreen Le May Madden of Lux Lighting Design -- Lighting Design Concept for Holiday Lighting on the Common.
Lux Lighting Design is working with the MBTA to illuminate the four T-Head Houses at South Station. Using LED technology, each T-station would have its own color which will be determined - blue, amber and amethyst are shown here for effect. Donors are being sought to fund the cost of $28,000. MBTA have indicated they are donating their labor.
