![ParisMisc_25.JPG - Eiffel Tower lights - During 1986 a new, two tiered, lighting system was installed to provide both normal and 'sparkle' lighting. The new system consists of some 20,000 special light bulbs covering the whole of the tower; that's 5,000 per side [in case you're wondering, they weigh a total of 8 tons]. The system has 230 enclosed lighting fixtures and electrical boxes, networking 800 strings of lights measuring 18 km long. The new lighting installation required 25 mountain climbers who worked for 5 months to set up the system.](ParisMisc_25.JPG) |
