An innovative lighting scheme based on a system used by American fire and rescue trucks will provide the finishing touch to the refurbishment of one of Edinburgh’s most famous landmark buildings. The system, designed by Edinburgh-based lighting company Black Light, comprises fourteen lamps that will illuminate the upper level and copper dome of the Usher Hall. The new lights will be hidden when not in use and will be deployed using a system of pneumatic masts like those used on the roofs of emergency vehicles in the USA.
