There's no such thing as "wasting energy". Energy is infinite, and constantly moving. We simply harness it for a little while. Besides, this is a beautiful work of art... that's priceless.

The James "Sunny Jim" Rolph Bridge AKA Bay Bridge sure has transformed. Beautiful.

Beautifully stunning. I stood in the rain to see the Bay Bridge's LED debut. It presents the Bay Bridge in a whole new light and draws attention to this incredible man made structure.

Very cool. It's crazy how everyones like "oh it costs so much!" Art is priceless. It evokes emotion, so just shut up and enjoy it.

Beautiful

I feel so fortunate to live on Treasure Island and see this gorgeous display every night. We all need more things in the world that just makes you smile. I hope it stays, it's very iconic.

Absolutely breathtaking! Congrats, Ben & a hug to Vanessa! Love, Marlene

I think this is fantastic. I say ART everywhere.....

very impressive!!

1966 Oracle leaps into San Francisco again; 2013 time travel to 1966; Haight Ashbury today LOVE & PEACE!!!

Thank you!

love this artist

Can't wait to see this in two days! I miss home!

Nice light show.

4:53---I LOVE that!

Wish I was there, nice crowd too! I was in the bay area maybe 3 months ago and heard about this. Nevertheless, I shall return. Bridges have their own mystique, and the fact that LED lights were added truly makes the bay bridge one-of-a-kind :D

i hope i see the bay lights before the two years pass!

Congratulation

Very nice. Colored lights would be cool for holdays or special events. But still beautiful! As a previous poster said, we need more beauty in an increasingly ugly world. Thanks for the light.

That would be awsome :D

great mini film! But....... all I can think about is the movie christmas vacation. haha

Anyone know what camera they are using to film? thanks.

The trolls inevitably bring out quality information. Good on both parties!

Amazing work. Interesting that it's controlled via a remote connection, does that mean someone could hack this thing and manipulate it?

LEDs are extremely energy efficient and don't cost much at all to power in bulk.

I actually watched and shared this. Vinny sez "Doze aw da cweative hoomins that make San Fwancisco georgush!"

Is that the golden gate or the one that goes to Oakland?

Are these PHILIPS LumiLEDS, in what fixtures?

nice….

so over its 2 years it will cost $21,900 just to run it .... that is totally worth it :D

Guess a San Francisco native would call that bridge ''FABOLOUS''.

very nice! 90% of the cost is the computer to run the show. LED's are a few cents a light.

how much did the whole project cost? I'm guessing it's the SF city that paid for it, am I right?

They should play galaga on it.

actually, this is NOT the Golden Gate Bridge.... this is THE OTHER one that goes to Oakland......... as for the GG Bridge, I go there on sunny days to try to catch those in deep dispair..... we all do what we can!!

money doesnt equal energy.

Dear god if I hear another Michael Stevens advert again...

The Bay Bridge has a $6 toll to go over it. So 5 cars pay for the entire night. The bridge has about 250,000 commuters drive over it every day.

Dope. If 5 cars pay for the entire night. Who pays the wages of the person going to the electric company to pay the bill and who pays to collect the toll from motorists who pay by card. The actual bridge is not paid off yet either. Your claim is ridiculous, troggy !

ไม่มีตัวไม่เอาไม่รู้จัก กลัวแล้ว รักอยู่รอเจอตัวดีกว่าไม่กล้า ขอโทษ

When you're driving on the bridge you can't see the LEDs. They're facing outwards/North.

And is funded by private donations. Not SF City/Oakland or Cal Trans.

How much did it cost to install? LOL

3rd

led is about 1$ ea so yeah they are kinda expensive in that quantity and 10mm led is about 3$

No, they got them wholesale !

I wish they showed more of the bridge itself, without smb talking and talking and talking.. Just a couple of minutes of 'no comments'

Lol, yes it does. If a certain measure of energy is 10 dollars, for example we'll say, then if it only costs 30 a night to run, it's barely costing anything. Why do you think your electric bill fluctuates with usage every month?

It is a shame so many people go their to end their lives :( it looks so beautiful with a sad undercurrent of a culture of suicide on that bridge..... Number one place to do it in the U.S.A :(

Can you display a sentence on the bridge? like: Would you marry me?

It does if you pay for it.

His biggest work but not his best.

Let's hope not a soul crashes while watching, huh...?

ahahahaahahahahahahhaha

wrong bridge. That's the Golden Gate. But yes, very sad.

Get ready for light graffiti

Such beauty in an increasingly ugly world.

remote access....cant wait til someone hacks it and we see light graffiti

You wasted your energy writing that comment.

Look at the Sky glow across the bay! time for PHILIPS to sell better outdoor fixtures, SOX? And cutoff fixtures. Sky glow is showing all the wasted energy.

It's pretty and technically challenging, but utterly pointless. A complete waste of creative, financial, and human-time resources.
