Wandering across Curacao’s famous floating bridge is like stepping back in time. The Queen Emma - also known as the Swinging Old Lady – was built in 1888 and today still swings back and forth to let large ships pass the port of Willemstad, Curacao. The icon of the island had its lighting arches installed in 1955. And like many remarkable architectural icons around the world the famous and world’s only floating wooden swing bridge is now illuminated in color - with Yphix LED strips.

When asked for a solution to illuminate the bridge our experts advised waterproof RGB Yphix LED strips. These robust strips with precise technology ensure a long-term and future-proof investment. Allowing the landmark to provide people orientation as establish itself in the nocturnal scene of the town. Creating a high quality visitor experience, and a perfect selfie backdrop.

No less than 270 meters of waterproof RGB strip was used to create the magical night scene. These strips can change into any color of the rainbow at the touch of a button. For ease of operation, two controllers have been installed that can be used to control multiple zones.
