The headline: I let my little sister write this one. Just kidding, it was me but I figured I'd cover my bases in case you thought I was dumb. "You are." I am so stupid. This is the 55,000 LED light 'Luminarie De Cagna' built in Ghent, Belgium to celebrate the 2012 Light Festival. To celebrate my 2012 Light Festival? I waved a lighter around until the drapes caught fire. That said, Belgium's Light Festival sounds like a great place to do drugs. Joking -- I'm not actually allowed to do drugs any more, my doctor ordered. "Your doctor, or the court?" Oh you're good -- you're REAL good. Sell me some clean urine?

Hit the jump for a couple more shots, my favorite of which is last.

Thanks to Robert, who used to go to one of those mega-churches before opting for a mini one instead. Um, Robert? That's a shoebox.

    it looks  amazing. how can LED product create such a spectacle building

  • It was amazing to see it in real life. The Light Festival was a great success for the second time. Try to find a record of the postal building, with the story of the little giant. It will always stay my favourite.

  • It's so bright that it's almost creepy.

  • The last picture looks like it should be from some film about a dystopian future where the masses process into a giant lighted tunnel for processing.

    Actually, there are about 30-ish different setups all around town, not all of them are as spectacular, though.
