A new lighting system at Niagara Falls should make for brighter, more colorful nighttime displays than was previously possible at the beloved brink on the U.S.-Canada border.
In the first significant upgrade to Niagara lighting in 20 years, more than 1,400 LED luminaires have been installed along the shoreline on the Canadian side to illuminate the American and Horseshoe Falls. The new system can be programmed for 1,800 different color combinations, and it's expected to cut energy costs by more than half.
Funding for the $4 million upgrade was split equally between the U.S. and Canada.
