PUBLIC + CULTURAL TRENDS
Downtown North Platte, Neb. wanted to improve the overall ambience of the downtown historic district and create a welcoming environment for residents and visitors. Updates to the 100-yearold main streets such as building façades, new building awnings, trees, fl owers, archways, bike racks and lighting transform the historic Canteen District. It completed its facelift topped off by PRIZM Lighting’s Pixel Dot RGBW with 12-in. spacing and a touchscreen controller from American Lighting. “We selected the PRIZM Pixel Dot string lights based on the recommendation of John Gustafson from Snell Services Inc. and the high quality of the product. Its touch-screen controller provides several lighting options including color changing and chasing. This enables us to change the lights to red and white for Cornhusker games, as well as switch the colors to match our two local high schools for their events,” said Sarah Talbott, President of the Board of Directors for the North Platte Downtown Assn. Implemented in Spring 2021, 4,900 ft. of PRIZM Pixel Dot is attached to new street lamp poles, supported by aircraft cable, and runs zig-zag over Dewey Street from 4th to 6th St. The controller is mounted in a climate-controlled cabinet, which provides air conditioning and heat. The PRIZM Pixel Dot series features a fl exible strand and full-color LED nodes designed for extraordinary effects and expansive installations without the constraints of luminaire size, shape or space. Its linear form factor accommodates two and 3-D applications for architectural accent and perimeter lighting, large-scale signage and dynamic displays. The series provides easy interconnecting lead and tail wires for faster installs with 80,000 hours rated performance life. According to Gustafson, the PRIZM Pixel Dot series was easy to set up, program and support with individually addressable LED RGBW Pixel Dots. The lighting was installed by Snell Services Inc. Engineer Wyatt Alletson and Apprentice Engineer Phill Parr. Talbot said, “The lighting has truly made a positive impact on our downtown area after dark.”•
