Keeping it on the LED tip, just spotted this interesting profile of Peter Freeman in the recent copy of Light magazine. Prepare yourself from some pure Chromology™ ... His most recent project is called 'Travelling Light' and is a gateway beacon sculpture for Weston super Mare and the SW of the UK. Sited at Junction 21 on the M5 motorway, 'Travelling Light' welcomes the traveller with a 13metre column of sparkling LED light.

There are programmed colour changes for each day of the week, with special light shows for individual calendar dates. During the week the sculpture gently scrolls through the primary colours with an added digital machine-gun sparkle. It throws up a river of pink hearts for Valentines Day and simulated light fireworks for New Year. Other dates include electric snow for Christmas, cosmic colour patterns for summer and winter solstices, flames on bonfire night and space-invaders on Halloween. A little tacky, but check this bad boy. Would look nice in the back yard, no?
