Lights on Williamsburg
Sun - Thur 5:30pm to 10pm
Fri - Sat 5:30pm to 11pm
Tune radio to 107.1 FM to hear music. Speakers also play music for those walking by.
The display is made up entirely of RGB pixels which are color changing lights. Each light you see actually has 3 individual LEDs inside colored red, green, and blue. Varying the intensity of each of those LEDs separately allows for millions of colors to be visible. This is done fairly easily with specially made lighting controllers together with computer software. The computer generates information for the controller to interpret which then communicates with each individual pixel to tell it what intensity each of those LEDs need to be. This data is generated multiple times per second to allow for smooth transitions. The computer software has come a long way in making it easy to generate desired effects in a relatively short amount of time. I use xLights to sequence all the lights to music.
