The theme for the 100th anniversary of the Times Square Ball was “Let There Be Light” -the goal was obvious- create a sparkling “gem” - more colorful, dynamic, and earth-friendly than ever before. The ball’s triangular crystals had to sparkle as much when viewed from 500ft away as they did 10ft away.This was achieved utilizing energy-efficient, red, green, blue, and white LED’s with specially designed mirrored baffles and double facetted crystals - creating incredible sparkle, excellent color mixing, and distinct separation between triangles - allowing New Year’s revelers to appreciate every facet of this brighter, more colorful Times Square Ball.
