The news is that the Nelson Street cycleway’s pink paint has faded to such an extent that it has to be re-done, but that certainly isn’t true of the lighting of Te Ara I Whiti (The Lightpath). The magnificent magenta path, lined by pillars of dynamic and interactive LED light, has drawn attention from news outlets and social media aficionados alike. Search up “#lightpathakl” on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook, and you will find a number of bright pink backdropped selfies alongside stunning views of the winding passage from higher viewpoints around the CBD. In the evening, the Lightpath is viewable from afar as an ethereal magenta glow amidst the surrounding concrete jungle.

Bright Light, one of New Zealand’s leading lighting wholesalers, was lucky enough to be a part of the creation of Te Ara I Whiti, providing IP-rated, coloured LED ribbon strip (BL-LS-3001-RGBW-IP65) and assisting in the building of the LED light pillars. The dynamic lighting effects used throughout the cycleway are created with the use of DMX (Digital Multiplex), allowing each light pillar to be individually controlled and the Lightpath as a whole to have the ability to be treated as an art installation. Motion sensors have also been installed on the Lightpath, detecting the movement of pedestrians and illuminating their way. The use of both DMX and motion sensors allows for a reduction in power consumption when the bridge is not in use.

Bright Light specialise in LED lighting solutions and supply a wide range of innovative LED lighting products, ranging from high-powered and architectural to ambient and residential. They also stock a variety of control gear, allowing you to achieve the perfect lighting result for you.
