Let there be light!
The 31th of August, 2014, at 10.20 p.m. Murmansk was lit with flash colored lights: this is bright illumination on Lenin Avenue was lit. It consists if 16 visual luminous banners, where the citizens can find the images of the symbols of the capital of the Arctic. "Fish on the waves", "The ship", "The Anchor" and "Northern Nights" - these are the names of the light patterns. They work in the same mode as the city lighting. Updated illuminated panels in Murmansk appeared in 2012. That year the city authorities decided to make a gift to the citizens of Murmansk, to cheer them up and to illuminate the road to some extent.
Also LED composition "Shining" at the southern entrance to Murmansk came on in our city, this is the stele, where the coordinates of Murmansk are written. The composition “The wave” in the park in the Zoya Kosmodemjanskaya str., the LED construction “Murmansk in my heart” near Kolsky ave., 58, and the composition “Caravelle”, consisted of 26 ships, which is lasted from the Five Corners Square to Oktjabrskaya str. burst into lights. Highlighting of the fountain, light composition “Bears-sailors in the boat” and the three-master, where the citizens like to take pictures, also come on in the Semenovskoye lake. Compositions “Nothern lights” (the Geroyev Severomortcev str.) recently appeared in the city construction “The Heart” (the crossroads of the Geroyev Severomortcev str., the Lobov str., the Ivchenko str.) came to full lights. Also the illumination in the park in the Safonov str. is turned on.
It will be recalled that, since the 13th of August the street lights came on in Murmansk. As the chief specialist of the Committee on Urban Development Vyacheslav Smaga said, our city is now illuminated by 11 323 street lights! Let us recall that the global reconstruction of the lighting system of streets and courtyards of the city began with the replacement of lamps in the Lenin avenue for new, energy-saving ones. Then all yard illumination switched to the system "Cascade", and after that action citizens did not pay for it no longer, but the city did. In the process of switching of streetlights on the "Cascade", it turned out that many of them need to be changed. The first modern LED lights were put in the Somov street, which had never been illuminated before. This year, new lights were installed in the Sedov, Starostin streets, and the Severny passage, where it was large repair.
