Yep, a bit more about that at https://www.wdwmagic.com/attraction...-equipment-install-around-spaceship-earth.htm
"A few weeks ago we shared our exciting plans for new Spaceship Earth lighting debuting Oct. 1, 2021 as a Beacon of Magic during the 50th anniversary celebration @WaltDisneyWorld. Today I’m excited to give you a first look at one of the points of light, as overnight our team test fit the very first of these fixtures before we start installing at the top and working our way down! Our team at Imagineering has been hard at work innovating the design and technology for this poetic and inspirational lighting concept. And we’ve had to get quite ingenious in how we go about installing these new fixtures and all the high-tech systems so that they seamlessly integrate with the iconic profile of Spaceship Earth. There is a lot more work ahead as we continue installation and ready for testing, but I couldn’t wait to share with you that we’ve begun.
Continue to follow along here as we share more of our progress and the way our team developed and engineered this concept into being."

The poor kid keeps on trying.
I’m having a hard time separating the marketing and PR from the actual Imagineering content. I’m failing to, actually, because his posts are just ... annoyingly PR-driven.

Looks like there are color changing diodes around the outside housing, and a white covered one in the center for “points of light” probably going to use the side lights to color wash the metal panels, with the center white providing “sparkle”

Yes, he really should have posted a different photo if he's trying to convince us of that. From the ones he did post, certainly doesn't look ingeniously seamless.

His posts are real heavy on PR speak. I am interested to see how this turns out. I'm more optimistic for this than I am for what looms in the lagoon.
If you can’t see them during the day it’ll be brilliant.
As we’ve seen just to the south they don’t seem to get that bit. We’ll see.

"Something about Disney parks not being a museum"
"Something about colors and art style being Mary Blair"
"Seamless"
I was hoping they'd tuck the lights behind the points in the panels. Yes there's a obvious connecting point there but you could still stick LEDs behind them.
Or at least do that^
Can they at least clean the panels as they do this? It looks bad. Even better would be panel replacements since the protective coating is gone and grime sticks to it now.

And yet ROE stayed for 20 years with no one saying a word!!!!!

No one was saying RoE wasn’t past its time to be replaced but it was still a high-quality show that didn’t intrude on WSL. HARModious shows no signs of the latter, and the former remains to be seen. If it’s an IP-fest of movie clips and movie songs, expect severe backlash, at least around these forums.

Yeah, "seamless" is not how I would describe that test light. Reminds me of a stuck on tap light.
Not sure why they couldn't use some kind of LED rope lighting or neon strips that could have been tucked between the panels.

I have a feeling this is the finished product - but we'll see.
