The Empire State Building, showed off their new LED lights, put on its first ever “light show” on November 26, 2012 at 9PM. The light show was synchronized to Alicia Keys songs Girl is on Fire and Empire State of Mind.
The lighting system, created by Philips Color Kinetics, can generate 16 million colors, and create effects such as ripples, bursts, sweeps, sparkles, cross-fades, strobes and chasers. Music in the background was playing on the radio which was simulcast on several radio stations in New York City at the same time.
