LIGHTING Another point of focus for the lighting team was to
make the installation temporary. Tis process also balanced safety and ways to limit visibility of wiring. Tey installed nearly nine miles of low-voltage cable
and placed wiring in backside planters to keep them out of view. Wiring placed in trees was pinned, and wiring that crossed walkways in certain sections was buried. “It wasn’t meant to be a completely clean look; it’s more
about what you’re trying to light,” Bogdanovich says. “For anything of this caliber, there are going to be some visual aspects that we wouldn’t have on a permanent installation, but we needed to make sure that we had a functional sys- tem that was safe.” To protect the installations from L.A.’s occasional win-
tery rains, California Outdoor Lighting made enclosures to protect its electrical equipment. Tey also made sure to keep tarps on hand just in case everything needed to be covered. “We took a lot of precautions to make sure that the
equipment was protected, but also that it wouldn’t cause any damage to any of the specimens or the plant life.”
GLOW 1.0 TO GLOW 2.0 Despite running into some late-in-the-game compli-
cations with individually addressable LED lamps, it took the six-person lighting team about a month to complete Glow’s first installation. It opened to the public, rain or shine, from Nov. 21, 2020, to Jan. 13, 2021. “We came in by the skin of our teeth, but at the same
time, it ran phenomenally well,” Bogdanovich says. “We had very minor glitches throughout the entire run of the program both years.”
Being that it was open during the height of the
COVID-19 pandemic, attendee numbers were limited, guests had to follow safety measures and ticket purchases were required. “What we wanted Glow to accomplish more than ev-
erything else was to bring people together at a time where everybody was getting pushed apart,” Bogdanovich says. “Tat was a big inspiration for us, just to have people feel like life is normal again.”
