There were some red LED's lit up on the floors above the entrance a few nights ago.

Shit, that thing is like a huge lantern. Or lighthouse.

 

[confusion]

Like all office buildings, most of the lights won't be visible once the majority of new suites are filled because of window blinds. I wouldn't worry too much.

The lower floors on the building are already a lot dimmer, as the shades are down at night.

There is a really bright LED light around the podium, but it doesn't seem too visible in wylie's shots above...

Great night shots.

Night, August 21

Can't seem to get crisp night shots usually, but these two turned out ok:

From the parking lot on the east side of Simcoe St, just north of the Ritz presentation centre.

Look again at the pics, closer. You can see a thin strip of blue LED's running all the way up the building, but you can't even tell it's there because of the interior lights. (correct me if I'm wrong)

I love that shot with the lobby, though A great space indeed!

I think you're seeing reflecting light. If the LED lights were on, you'd really notice it.

Acutally MBS was right khristopher ... if you look at wylie's photos below (or seeing it in person), there is a faint strip of lighting on the north side of RBC (it is not superbright LEDs found on the CN Tower), but since the interior interior lights are so bright on RBC right now, you can barely see it on the photos ~

Walked by this afternoon. Still some fit and finish issues and defective glazing panels. Hopefully, these will be resolved soon.

The other ones were much brighter than this. I have a feeling that this is still not the finished product.

These LED strips have been turned down in brightness. I gauruntee it. You cannt find LEDs ANYWHERE that are naturally that dim at their rated voltage. This is clearly intended for testing purposes awaiting some kind of event where the whole lighting scheme is activated all at once. This could also been some kind of deliberate teaser just for people like us.. Either way, those LEDs have the ability to be brighter, much brighter. And yes, they are similar to the kind used in the CN tower. AS a matter of fact, the ones already shown in the latern appear to be exactly the same kind used in the CN tower.

Ya, that's exactly what I was thinking.
