Creating a Lake of Dynamic Color
in the Desert
Not all great lakes are on the Third Coast — not since the Lake of Dreams appeared
in Las Vegas. An extraordinary one-of-a-kind attraction. the man-made Lake of Dreams
More than 4,000 submersed and individually controlled C-Splash 2 fixtures, installed
on 700 removable panels at the bottom of the lake, transform the lake's surface into a
spectacular light-and-water show.
The entire system spans 25 DMX universes for individual control of each C-Splash 2
fixture. This precise level of control allowed the lighting designer to devise a series
of eye-catching sequences and seamless transitions, including intricate patterns and
psychedelic colors that complement video images projected onto a waterwall rising 150
ft behind the lake. While the original lighting concept called for the Lake of Dreams
to be illuminated with solid red lighting, the use of C-Splash 2 LED fixtures, which can
generate up to 16.7 million colors, allowed the lighting designer to design dynamic
color-changing effects.
Various statues appear to emerge from the lake's depths, creating an ethereal and
dreamlike atmosphere. The light shows are programmed to run every 20 minutes from
just after sunset until 1:00 am, drawing large crowds every time.
