Lighting the Coney Island Parachute Jump may have been the job of a lifetime for light artist, Leni Schwendinger, who put 17 lamps and 150 lighting fixtures on the Parachute Jump. However she has done many large scale projects. The new lighting was revealed on Friday night after a $5 million overhaul.

And Robert Guskind got the shot. More are on his blog: Gowanus Lounge.

“Giving light to something that’s completely dark at night and can’t be seen, if you have ever been here at night, when the lower tower is unlit it melds right into the sky. You really can’t see it," Schwendinger, of Light Projects Ltd. told New York 1.

Schwindinger is a light artist and her company, Light Projects Ltd, creates multi-disciplinary collaborations – with design teams staffed by architects, engineers, and
graphic designers "committed to her vision and perfectionistic mandate." The Light Projects has worked with clients ranging from state and municipal agencies and
architectural and engineering firms to museums and events planners.

The Parachute Jump tower will have six different lighting schemes for various seasons, holidays, and even lunar cycles.

“The night before the full moon you’ll see a white sequence,” said Schwendinger. “On the full moon you’ll see a super white sequence, and the waning moon, another sort of opalescent white sequence."
