Ferris Wheel Lit by 160,000 LEDs

Santa Monica, California (TGW) - The Pacific Ferris Wheel at the Santa Monica Pier in California, the world’s first and only solar powered ferris wheel, has been taken apart and outfitted with LED lights.

A total of 160,000 of the energy efficient lights were used on the $1.5 million, 90 foot ride, which can support 800 passengers per hour. The solar panels will still be used.

The old wheel was sold on eBay for $130,000.
