The lighting of tallest free-standing structure in the European Union, the Riga Radio and TV Tower, will be enhanced with unusual combinations of colours and unprecedented effects during the Staro R\u012bga festival of light. The tower\u2019s lighting will reflect the theme of this year\u2019s festival \u2013 optical illusions.<\/p>\n

The lighting will be set up in such a way as to create an additional visual effect \u2013 the projection of the tower into the clouds. Those interested in experiencing this should bear in mind that weather conditions typical in November \u2013 fog and precipitation \u2013 may mean that this optical illusion will be best seen near the tower and not at a distance.<\/p>\n

The everyday lighting of the tower makes use of equipment that does not employ colour filters; during the festival, however, CYAN filters and an RGB colour scheme will be employed.<\/p>\n

During the Staro R\u012bga festival, the special lighting of the Radio and TV Tower can be viewed from 8:00 \u2013 11:00 pm; on the 18th of November, however, the tower will be lit all night in honour of Latvia\u2019s Independence Day \u2013 until 8:00 am.<\/p>\n

Usually the tower is lit from 5:00 pm in the wintertime (from 1 November to m28 February) and in the mornings before it gets light. During the rest of the year the schedule depends on the time of sunset and sunrise.<\/p>\n

On Fridays and Saturdays the tower is normally lit for an hour longer, until 1:00 am.<\/p>\n

The creator of this project is the Latvian State TV and Radio Centre, in cooperation with SIA Muzik\u0101l\u0101 Dizaina grupa.<\/p>\n
