May 23, 2008—Nexxus Lighting, Inc., a world leader in advanced lighting technology, including solid-state LED and fiber optic lighting systems and controls used in commercial, architectural, signage, swimming pool and retail lighting, has announced that Advanced Lighting Systems, a Nexxus Lighting company located in Sauk Centre, Minnesota, has completed the lighting for the Norbert F. Beckey bridge in Muscatine, Iowa, which stretches from Iowa to Illinois across the Mississippi River 170 miles west of Chicago.
A ribbon cutting ceremony officially marked the occasion on May 12.
The lighting system called for 43 Advanced Lighting Systems LiveLED 100 RGB fixtures to illuminate the 1,500-foot bridge. Using a DMX lighting controller, multiple color patterns wash the structure.
“This project was three years in the making and it was satisfying to see it all the way through to the ‘Lighting of The Bridge Ceremony’,” stated Paul Steitz, President of Advanced Lighting Systems.
