New Years Eve Ball Full of Lights Controllable by Smartphones
Time Square’s colorful, iconic New Year’s Ball is a 106 year old tradition that’s coming closer to home. The geodesic frame is lit using LED lighting from Philips, the same kind of hue-controlled technology that’s available to domestic smartphone users.
The Times Square New Year’s Eve Ball is lighted with 32,256 Philips Luxeon Rebel LED (light emitting diodes) bulbs, grouped in 672 modules of 48 bulbs each. Each module contains 12 red, 12 blue, 12 green, and 12 white LED bulbs and can create a palette of more than 16 million colors and billions of patterns.
