It\u2019s been months since we first did our write-up on the<\/span><\/i> Wabash Lights<\/span><\/i><\/a>, though it looks like the venture will finally be getting off the ground this January.<\/span><\/i><\/h6>\n

The appropriately named project, aimed at illuminating the underside of the L tracks on Wabash, has now received approval for a scaled-down beta test. The beta will consist of just 12 feet of LED lighting, though the final version will be comprised of 4,000 feet of the tubes stretching from Madison to Adams.<\/span><\/p>\n

The coolest part: the final version will allow visitors to control the lights using their smartphones or computers. The lights can change from bold colors to sparkle effects, waves, and pulses. If you can imagine it, these lights can do it.<\/span><\/p>\n
