Wilshire Grand Hotel Project – Use of LED Lights Prompts Debate
A critical decision in the Wilshire Grand Hotel Project (photos below) heads to a vote by Los Angeles officials this morning."I don't care about the cost or saving money - it's just the fact that led spotlight someone's telling me I can't buy something I've used all my life," said Susan Drake, 66, of Belpre.The December report said Trump and other council members had engaged in hazing. Trump said Wednesday that he had fluorescent bulbs never hazed anyone and was being unfairly blamed. The Wilshire Grand Hotel’s use of several million LED light that will create images of butterflies, fish and waterfalls is prompting controversy. Officials tell news that no words, logos, and hence no advertisements will appear on the surface in open floors. But critics still deem the use of LEDs as a giant billboard.
Downtown currently has countless renovated buildings with exterior LED lights.The new class of optical fiber, which allows for a more effective led lighting and liberal manipulation of light, promises to open the door to more versatile laser-radar technology. But the $1.2 billion dollar project is prompting debate over its use of enormous images on its proposed new 45-story hotel and a 65-story office building. ."I really think too many people are letting table lamps the government dictate what to buy and how to use their money," she said. "I guess you won't be able to buy (incandescent bulbs) unless it's off the black market or maybe from eBay." Dennis Hathway, president of the Coalition to Ban Billboard Blight, is opposed to the project.
Ayahlushim Getachew, senior vice president of Thomas Properties, tells news that the City doesn’t allow texts, logos or messaging above the lower floors.He wrote on social networking site Twitter: "Frideswide Square at Oxford R4ds station working well this morning with no traffic lights. Long may it continue!" The project does have approval for commercial images and a news ticker on the lowest 10 floors.
The Mayor approves the project. “This exciting and bold new project is a major step forward in our efforts to add green, multi-use developments to the center of our city” said Villaraigosa in a recent statement.
But the project hasn’t moved fast. It proposed in first proposed in April 2009, took until early March 2011 to get approval from the LA Planning Commission. Korean Air bought the WilshireGrand Hotel in 1989 under the name of Hilton Hotel & Towers. It has retained the well loved Thomas Properties Group, Inc. to build the project.
