Since we observe the lights of UOB, I think it's high time we had a thread to alert people. It would be useful to track any patterns as well.:)

today

24/9/05

turned on for +-1 hour.

Well, the base is outlined in blue or is it purple every night...

But I've seen it turn on lights briefly...they should definitely consider turning it on longer than an hour, like on these days taken by hyacinthus :)

from my observation UOB lights only turn on at event times such as NDP and other

if not it just turn off :sleepy:

^^ red i think white is good for this building as most building using yellow light which is common

it was lighted as usual for the last 2 weeks for about 1/2 hour on both saturdays... so i guess it would light itself up almost every saturday from 7 to 7.30? photographers must get ready, get set, go!

The lights were on last night for the CNY celebrations and fireworks. I got some good shots of the building and of the fireworks, unfortunately wasn't at an angle that allowed me to get photos of the skyline and the fireworks in one shot.

Mount Faber observation point or Sentosa might enable you to do that....but it would be viewing the skyline from the rear

UOB seems to be litten up quite often those days. Twas still on tonight at 10pm.

International Plaza has also its light on. Well it's quite dumb, it's only a floodlight on the upper part of the lift core, but it's the first time I see it ^ ^

I believe it will be lighted up throughout the Chinese New Year.

which is good...I dont think it was lighted up as long last year :)
