Niagara Falls shimmers in colour under new LED lighting

A $3-million upgrade to lighting at Niagara Falls has produced a light show that is more entertaining, less costly and longer lasting than anything previously employed. Some 1,400 LED lights are newly in place, the first upgrade in lighting the falls in 20 years. Mixed together, the separate red, green, blue and white LED units can illuminate the waterfalls against the night sky in endless combinations that range from subtle hues to deeply saturated colours. The lights are installed on the upper level of the 1899 building known as “Illumination Tower.” A worthy job for a venerable part of Niagara history.
