2002 Olympic Torch Relay
Omaha, NE
Color Kinetics became a part of Olympic history when its intelligent LED illumination systems colorfully lit the journey of the 2002 Olympic Torch.

Color Kinetics' solid-state systems proved to be the ideal choice to add dynamic lighting effects to the train's centerpiece -- a car featuring the 40-inch diameter cauldron with a custom-designed burner to sustain the Olympic Flame.
