 Crystal Palace Tower Light Show - 18th April - Dulwich Estate
A PRNewswire extract:

"Arqiva marks Digital switchover with spectacular light show on 18th April

The historic switch from analogue to digital TV services in London next month will be celebrated with a spectacular lightshow at the iconic Crystal Palace broadcast tower, Arqiva announced today.

More than 200,000 watts - 7.5 billion candlepower - of energy-efficient lighting, the same wattage used to light the Eiffel Tower in Paris, will illuminate the 219 metre tall structure.

Visible across London, the explosion of light will culminate with a beam of light shooting up the tower and radiating out over London, representing the invisible digital TV signals."


What a blooming waste of money - what's to celebrate ?
