More than 200 decorative lights for the Olympics got a tryout in Beijing on Thursday evening.
The new installations will augment more than two-thousand lighting facilities already lighting up Beijing at night – to help make the Summer Games as bright as possible.
Major roads in Beijing have been equipped with the new decorative lights.
Green is the lighting theme in Sanyuanqiao, one of the busiest crossover bridges on the city’s third ring road.
Meanwhile the traditional Chinese color of red, symbolizing magnificence and fortune, lights up the Siyuanqiao overpass.
The Beichen West Bridge is located very near the National Stadium. And its lighting design features various kinds of dragons.
Jia Jianping, Director of BJ Municipal Administration Comm. of Lighting Department said “The three overpasses and the Olympic Central District will be lit up by the newly-installed lights. They can be considered as an extension of the landscape of the Olympic Central District.”
In addition to roads, major cultural sites such as the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace have also been dressed up with colorful lighting facilities.
Local authorities say electricity-saving equipment has been used in the displays.
They also say the installations will not consume very much electricity and there is no need to worry about power supplies.

Cree, Inc., a market leader in LED lighting, announced that its flagship LED recessed down light, the LR6, won a prestigious Silver International Design Excellence Award (IDEA) in the EcoDesign category.
The LR6 is a dimmable LED lighting retrofit product for residential or commercial use. The LR6 installs in most incandescent 6″ recessed cans and provides greater light output than a 65-watt incandescent bulb with equivalent or better light quality, while consuming only 12 watts of power and without using toxic mercury. The LR6 was designed to last for 50,000 hours (up to 25 years of typical residential use) while maintaining at least 70 percent of its initial light output. It is easy for everyday consumers to install as it does not require an electrician.
