CharlotteWkndBuzz 2598 Report post Posted July 14, 2020 (edited) I apologize for the bump of this thread but think it’s noteworthy. Truist tower is getting a new LED lighting system. Finally! Didn’t get a chance to snap a pic while I was on the road but looks like each slanted line on the silver part of the crown has LEDs. They were testing just a few minutes ago. Upgrade probably coincides with the logo reveal. Edited July 14, 2020 by CharlotteWkndBuzz 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dxartist 397 Report post Posted July 14, 2020 I was here like many of you when it was built from the ground up. This will always be Hearst Tower to me. It screams way more Art Deco and classic sounding to me than Truist Center. Truist Center sounds just kinda "blah." I take that, it's just "blah." 4 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JorgiPorgi 6234 Report post Posted July 14, 2020 Such a gorgeous building, and always will be. I do hope the signage is not as significant as we think. A knee LED system will look great on this tower. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CLT704 934 Report post Posted July 15, 2020 Up close the new lights actually improve the building, it kinda looks like neon so makes it even more art deco! From further away, not so much. Either way, that purple is an improvement over the other purple they tried. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CLT> 1680 Report post Posted July 15, 2020 Some more color combinations. Lower intensity works best. 20 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
turbocraig 781 Report post Posted July 15, 2020 It’s off now but I glanced out the window about 15mins ago and did a double take. That is impressive. Very Tron / Bladerunneresque. In the ambient white, I’m convinced they could turn off every street light downtown and it’d be just as bright outside. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CharlotteWkndBuzz 2598 Report post Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) Great pics everyone...this is a big improvement. Those old lights weren't doing this crown any justice at night...love how the new LEDs accentuate the details.

Ugh We have to be patient, but I think this may be the first post-COVID development Uptown. May also need to.....double our expectations as well. 6 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

turbocraig 781 Report post Posted July 16, 2020 Minor detail, but it looks like they added an LED outline to the very top of the crown. It was just the vertical blade things last night. 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MothBeast 102 Report post Posted July 16, 2020 Now if they could just add an LED outline like the BofA building in Dallas to (formerly as of today) One Wells Fargo we could have our 6 tallest buildings lit up at night in tandem! 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
captainjack 670 Report post Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) Loving the new lights. Going to hate the signage up top. Will definitely ruin the aesthetic of an iconic Charlotte tower. Edited July 16, 2020 by captainjack 10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JorgiPorgi 6234 Report post Posted July 16, 2020 The new lights look great and really help the tower stand out now. Such a great building in the day time, and now an awesome tower at night. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
