The Alamo
San Antonio, Texas
Located in San Antonio, Texas, the Alamo is an important symbol of Texas liberty and American history. It was recently temporarily transformed by Philips LED lighting systems, marking the first time the Alamo was illuminated on a grand scale and further demonstrating the ease with which LED lighting can transform venues for special occasions.

The structure served as the backdrop for a visually striking light installation held in conjunction with Luminaria, a one-day celebration of San Antonio’s diverse artistic community. The lighting design was conceived by Bill FitzGibbons of Blue Star Contemporary Art Center using Philips ColorBlast® 12 fixtures, which combine LED sources with digital control technology to produce near-endless color combinations. FitzGibbons refers to these art installations as "architectural interventions," emphasizing the dynamic effects that are made possible with ColorBlast 12 fixtures.
