Enormous 55,000 LED Cathedral Wows Belgian’s 2012 Light Festival

Ghent, Belgium’s annual Light Festival, had some pretty amazing presentations, including videos projected onto water, gardens of light, and projections onto buildings. However, the crown jewel of the event was probably the Luminarie De Cagna — an enormous, 84-foot-high, 55,000 LED cathedral of light. Amazingly, this colorful building consumes only 20 kilowatts per hour. Read on after the break to see more of the Luminaire De Cagna and a video of the festival.
