Completed in June 2010, the new lighting for the fountain is now the luminous focus of the night-time scenario. The four pillars are uplit on three sides with warm white light, and on the northern side an intense blue downlight floods the fountain, creating an interplay of bright faces and multiple shadows that reveal its composition. Tiny LED projectors complete the light composition and enhance the grotesque masks at the base of the pillars. The stone graphics on the ground are underlined and punctuated with luminous dots (in-ground coloured LEDs). The polished stones reflect beautifully in the surrounding lighting. The nocturnal ambience is very soft and friendly and the resulting night-time scenario has become a perfect environment to host special events like those programmed during the annual Jerusalem light festival held every year in the month of June.
