A sneak peek of Raleigh’s shimmer wall … lit up
18 Aug
Workers were testing the LEDs that will back light the shimmer wall that adorns Raleigh’s new convention center on Monday night. They appeared to only be testing one panel, at least when I stopped. So I snapped the photo below.
The plan is to officially light up the entire waving Oak Tree on Sept. 5, when the convention center officially opens.
When fully lit, the wall can shimmer in tons of colors. They can even tailor the colors to match holidays (say green for St. Patrick’s Day) and special events (say red if the Hurricanes win the Stanley Cup).
Here’s a sneak peak of a single panel.
Can you imagine how beautiful this will look when it’s all lit up?
