Well, they're most likely DMX-controlled units, which is an industry standard control protocol. Give them power and daisy-chain control cables from one to the next, and you're up and running. Each light (or most likely each pair of lights) can be individually addressed, and told to do something different. Or, you can give the same command to ALL the lights, and they'll all do the same thing simultaneously (like the instant color changing we saw them testing a week or two ago)
A single "universe" of DMX can control up to 512 units.

Yep, I'm thinking they have not decided how to use the lights capabilities yet. But I do find it interesting also, that they seem to have control over every light individually and as a groups. The only limit is their imagination now.
Most important news is the Epcot model seems as good as ever!
Is it my imagination or has the EPCOT model been moved to a new location? I thought it was later in the ride (near the Buzz Lightyear windows).

Has anyone else noticed that in the spaceship/astronaut scene from SM, part of the spaceship that used to be sort of white/off white is now navy blue?
You can see this from some of the vids posted.

Great video: it looks the same with a few small changes, which im ok with. Cant wait to see the leds in use. I love the inside of space mountain, but could not identify any changes as rumored, such as banked corners:shrug: Anybody see anything different inside?
All I see are blue lights inside of the space ship and new work lights :shrug:

Got my own video today

No audio was playing inside Space Mountain, not the narration or any music, except for the "you are clear for launch" warning spiel playing repeatedly from the other side of the wall
The video was from about 5 PM, so maybe they were messing with the audio during the day?
Kinda feel bad about posting these, it's a warzone.

We must have ridden right after you (blm07). I thought that the center portion of the ceiling looked much newer than the cone (side) portions of the ceiling. I'm actually quite surprised they haven't covered over the top of the TTA during this final phase of rehab...it's like being in a house that just got sheet-rocked. Lots of dust on everything. As for the lighting over the TTA tracks, I thought it looked great last night during MNSSHP. The different colors looked great along the way, but didn't notice any changing of color happening. Everything seemed solid throughout the ride.
On a side note....thought the HoP rehab was great. Really enjoyed the presentation. I think its a great improvement and my 16 year old daughter actually paid attention. My only complaint....it ends really quickly...Obama finishes, a quick patriotic finale and BAM! the curtain drops and its over. I don't think an extra 10 to 15 seconds of music would have made that much of a difference, but overall, Great Job. And I almost forgot...the Bears are back on the A list. Huge improvement in sound and fur since my last visit in 2008.

As my daughter and I rode past this scene, we got a huge kick out of the dangling "M" in the word restrooms.Got my own video today

I just looked at a book I had with a shot of the ship, the 'engine' lights look red in the photograph from 'WDW, The First Decade' ... :shrug: I had a shot I took in their last year, I'm not sure if I saved it, (because it was soft) but I thought in my shot, the 'engine' lights were a blue green ... :shrug: I will look for it to see if I can find it.

Just looked at a couple of videos of the TTA pre-refurb, the 'engine' lights were a blue/green, not red.
