Edmonton, Alberta
Music-reactive pixel lighting for Edmonton
Edmonton has long, cold, dark winters and a city that makes the most of them, with winter patios, festivals and outdoor events through the season. A synchronised light show gives a plaza, a main street or a venue entrance something to gather around from late afternoon on.
Winter installation in Edmonton
Expect extended stretches well below minus twenty, dry air and early sunsets, around 4:15 pm in December. Snow is steady rather than heavy, and the cold is the main design factor: cable stiffens, plastic becomes brittle and anything installed has to stay put for months without attention.
How we install for it
- Installs scheduled before the deep cold so crews are not handling stiff cable at minus thirty.
- Cold-flexible cable and generous service loops at every connector.
- Power supplies and controllers in enclosures sized for the load, mounted off the ground and clear of snow banks.
- Long dark evenings mean long run times; the schedule turns the show on at dusk and off at close.
Commercial districts and BIAs in Edmonton
Edmonton's opportunities include downtown and its BIAs, older main streets in neighbourhoods across the city, large retail centres, hotels and event venues. Main-street BIAs already invest in winter programming, and a synchronised show tying several storefronts together fits that well.
When to book
Book by early autumn; we aim to install in late October and early November ahead of the cold.
