Kelowna, British Columbia
Music-reactive pixel lighting for Kelowna and the Okanagan
Kelowna's draw is the lake, the wineries and the resorts, and its winters are often grey under valley cloud. A display that lights up a winery entrance, a resort plaza or the downtown waterfront gives people a reason to come out on the long evenings between the summer and ski seasons.
Winter installation in Kelowna
The Okanagan is drier than the coast, with cold winters, moderate snow and frequent low cloud trapped in the valley. Summers are hot and sunny, so anything left up year-round has to handle strong UV as well as winter freeze-thaw.
How we install for it
- UV-stable cable, clips and pixel housings for permanent installs that see a full Okanagan summer.
- Freeze-thaw rated sealing at every connection.
- Snow and wind anchoring for mega trees on open vineyard and resort sites.
- Long data and power runs planned carefully on large rural properties.
Commercial districts and BIAs in Kelowna
Commercial lighting in the area centres on the downtown waterfront and its business association, resort and hotel properties, wineries along the lake benches, and suburban retail centres. Rural sites often mean long runs between the building and the feature tree, which we design for at the site walk.
When to book
Book early autumn for a holiday install; wineries and resorts often want the display ready for November events.
