Siemens Revolving LED Christmas Star

Siemens has powered up its Siemens Superstar, a revolving LED landmark that will stay lit from now until the day of the Epiphany (January 6th, 2010), with permission from the city of Munich.

The lighting installation was designed together with Munich multimedia artist Michael Pendry over the past year, and built and implemented by Munich City Utilities.

It consists of 9,000 light-emitting diodes (LEDs) from Siemens that put out a glow equivalent to 20,000 Christmas candles, while only consuming as much electricity as a hair dryer or two electric water kettles.
