I had to go to the roof to check it out.

Some people on Twitter are saying the spire is too bright.

Is that something that can be fixed?

[baronson]

I’m sure they can adjust the intensity. But I think it’s much brighter in appearance because the crown isn’t lit yet.

[TK2000]

Of course they’re bright, they’re brand new! I don’t know, I think they’ll stay this bright, I never heard of a building that can adjust the brightness of a single section of lighting

[baronson]

Can’t the new lighting system on the ESB achieve this?

[DeSelby]

People on Twitter would complain about anything if given the chance; puppies, kittens, chocolate cake, you name it. Best advice is to ignore the haters. I think the spire looks great as is.

The brighter, the better

This is New York!

[IhateUSsteel]

I love this tower, I love the lighting, I love everything about it. Today was a good day.

Gotta love the NYC light pollution. Its like the sun never sets.

I have no doubt they are architectural RGB LEDs that can absolutely be programmed to be any color or brightness. I’m sure they can make it an animated rainbow if they want.

See: new Empire State Building lighting.

[TK2000]

Wasn’t thinking of ESB at all, that’s one impressive lighting system. Imagine the crown of OV having LED’s like the top of Salesforce Tower to make displays

Looks like it’s all lit up, and we have a new beacon!

[YIMHudson]

looks fantastic, Reminds me of 1 WTC’s spire before it got struck by lightning.

[baronson]

Wait there’s a beacon too?! I didn’t know that.

I just remembered the WTC beacon also. Why does it feel like it’s been broken more than operational? Sad really.
