Uruguay Bridge Gets Transformed with Osram RGB LED Flood Lights

Author: SSLDesign News Staff

August 17, 2010... Once, a relatively inconspicuous bridge, Uruguay Bridge, over San Roque Lake in the urban area of Villa Carlos Paz, Province of Córdoba in Argentina, was erected in 1945. With LED lighting from Osram and refurbishment in 2008 in which the number of vehicle lanes was extended from two to four, the bridge has become an important part of the community.

A DMX control system for 210 Osram LED RGB floodlights helps to create audio-rhythmical scenes where lighting is synchronized with music to create life and movement all over the architecture. Four 5-minute sound & light shows will be held every day at 9:00 p.m., 10:00 p.m., 11:00 p.m., and 1:00 a.m. Then, the bridge lights will change their color, creating different scenes that will change over time.

During the refurbishment, an arcade was built under the bridge. The new vehicle crossing construction serves as the 150 m long ceiling of the new cultural center. The indoor space includes detachable dividing panels, glazed enclosure, new flooring and ceiling, air conditioning and heating systems, restrooms, function areas, and a café. This itinerant museum will reportedly host events, lectures and fashion shows to become an important place for both tourism and culture.
