With all of the concerns about going green, how did that affect the design of the fountain?
By substituting state-of-the-art LED lighting for most of the incandescent lighting on the fountain, over 40,000 Watts of power is saved at the peak demand point of a fountain show. The fountain lights are not turned on until dusk and they are shut off at 11PM each night when the park closes. At any one time, only a fraction of the fountain lighting is turned on due to the dynamic nature of the fountain shows. In addition, the electronic drives for the fountain pumps provide additional power savings.
