Like it has since renovations finished in 2018 , the Brockville Rail Tunnel again drew thousands of tourists this summer to walk the 525-m underground light show . The railway tunnel was originally built between 1854 – 1860 and was the first of its kind in Canada . The tunnel was installed with Color Kinetics ColorGraze MX4 Powercore luminaires that change colours as people walk underneath downtown Brockville , ON . A . M . G . Baytech was the original lighting consultant on the project .
In order to complete the professional soccer season , the Canadian Premier League resumed in August within a quarantined “ bubble ” in Charlottetown , PE . Nova Scotia-based Tour Tech East was brought in to boost the light level on the field so that the TV broadcaster , TSN , could add a CGI audience and advertisements around the field for viewers at home . “ What we did is took a bunch of traditional conventional theatrical- and television-type scoops and then I modified them and put in metal halide fixture bulbs and was able to boost the light level . We got the overall field level from about 500 lumens up to over 1,200 lumens ,” says Tour Teach East ’ s Peter Hendrickson .
