Description: The task of lighting water brings a host of unexpected challenges, outcomes, and shortfalls. Alan and Paul will walk you through their biggest successes stories and greatest challenges as they have tried to throw light through, under and across water. They have collaborated on projects like the Ripleys Aquarium in Toronto and Gatlinburg as well as the monumental challenge of lighting Niagara Falls.
