1,000 metres of lights have been installed at Cambridge Arcade with many visitors hailing the 'positive difference'
A historic arcade has been turned into a tunnel of sparkling lights in a bid to encourage people to support the local businesses inside.
IllumiDex UK Ltd Managing Director Steve Clayton said: “We worked over three days to install 100 sets of lights inside Cambridge Arcade. There is a kilometre of lights inside there now, inside the tunnel and the little square next to it. “Every fifth light twinkles so it has a really sparkling look to it. When you compare the arcade now with how it looked before, with all the scaffolding and how it looked so dark, the lights have made such a difference.
“There are some superb shops, restaurants, bars and cafes inside Cambridge Arcade and Cambridge Walks. Quadriga were keen to utilise our expertise to highlight how the arcade is very much open while their restoration work is taking place. “Each bulb is just 0.06 Watts. I am looking forward to seeing what Cambridge Arcade looks like when Quadriga has completed its project. It is going to look really nice when it’s done.”
