Melbourne´s landmark "ANGEL" sculpture
ANGEL is one of Melbourne´s iconic landmarks. The 10-metre-high, two-headed sculpture was recently relocated from the National Gallery to the north bank of the Yarra River at Birrarung Marr. It can be seen from as far away as Princes Bridge.
Deborah Halpern’s public sculpture, made from colorful ceramic mosaic tiles, will be welcomed back to public display with great fondness by Melbournians who regard it as one of the city’s great symbols.
Deborah’s work also includes OPHELIA -- located at Southgate -- which was named the official face of Melbourne by Tourism Victoria in 1996.

So far, so good.
But why did the red LED strips (not supplied by ANTARA) on the railing in front of the sculpture fail just days after installation ?
So far, so good.
But your photo carefully avoids the 2 glare bombs behind "ANGEL". They glare all across the river !
And what about the red LED-strips on the railing around the sculpture ? They didn´t work already 2 weeks after installation !
The two lights behind angel are not from us, and neither are the LED strips.
We would have much preferred those lights -- mounted on existing poles behind the sculpture -- to be installed on ground level like our lights. We didn´t have a say in that.
