Georgia Aquarium

Atlanta, Georgia, USA

The 500,000+ square foot Georgia Aquarium opened as the largest of its kind in November 2005. The engaging space features several applications of Color Kinetics�� intelligent LED lighting, both exterior and interior, including a dynamic �쐗ave wall�� that is the visual centerpiece of the aquarium�셲 central plaza. 

The wall measures 150 feet long by 25 feet high (46 by 8 meters) and comprises five curving bands of light. The bands�� Barrisol surface provided an ideal canvas for the saturated colors and effects projected by Color Kinetics�� ColorCast짰 14 fixtures, which were installed in linear runs behind the surface.Unlike most LED-based fixtures, ColorCast 14 directly accepts line voltage, which eliminates the need for an external low-voltage power supply and therefore streamlines installation. Approximately 500 ColorCast 14 units were installed along the length of the wave wall �� each one individually controllable to allow for smooth gradients of color and color-changing effects. The wave wall also doubles as a 75 foot projection surface for video shows, during which time the Color Kinetics fixtures create a colorful frame surrounding the video images.
