Built of individual panels, the largest measuring 120 x 300, the panels can be combined to create as large an image as desired. The LED lights can be RGB or white.<br /><br /><object height="424" width="530"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=10877854&server=vimeo.com&show_title=0&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF&fullscreen=1"><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=10877854&server=vimeo.com&show_title=0&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" height="424" width="530"></embed></object><br /><br />Below are images (followed by a video) of an Ecco Luce installation at the Sciphol Train station in Amsterdam that just went up April 15th:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbtftjVk0AHdD4TJZPD7FyVq-_GZJtohVbHSov3ZR2UVOtYZkIuodXZ9kYyvMzsHIv8xwDZFtgUomXimXoKQYYJkLNyG8_QGZtPadPa5nIXFJ0PZOjdgSL9LRjCck93W2G0iLfCFQ4MXU/s1600/Picture+9.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463788169007248258" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbtftjVk0AHdD4TJZPD7FyVq-_GZJtohVbHSov3ZR2UVOtYZkIuodXZ9kYyvMzsHIv8xwDZFtgUomXimXoKQYYJkLNyG8_QGZtPadPa5nIXFJ0PZOjdgSL9LRjCck93W2G0iLfCFQ4MXU/s400/Picture+9.png" style="cursor: pointer;
