It’s begun! I grabbed this shot off the webcam, after I zoomed in closer and realized that they’re cladding one of the fins now! They had better NOT have value engineered the night lighting out, I’m gonna hate them if they did.

So are the fins clad in metal?

My guess is they’re going to let all of the thin sides have light shine through them, then on the fatter sides of the fins not including the middle will have one lit opposite side. If that’s true, big uh oh

All renders we have seen show the full fins lit up

Yes, before they tweaked the design. This is the current version

Yikes, it looks like the middle fin isn’t even illuminated

Only on the thiner sides, not the fatter ones. I honestly thought the lighting would be changed after seeing how thin the spires turned out

I was right, rendering shows the middle fin with the fatter sides not lit at all. The other 2 fins have their fatter faces lit on the opposite sides of the unlit middle fin. But every thin face will be lit up

I like how the vertical lines lead up to the trident posts.

I recall seeing a video which shows that those vertical lines have LED lights, and they light up in a “running” manner up the tower on the front at least.
