cBright Lighting partnered with Ben Davis of Illuminate—the nonprofit behind The Bay Lights—to reimagine the Pink Triangle atop Twin Peaks as a powerful illuminated symbol for the Bay Area community. For more than two decades, the Pink Triangle has stood as a reminder of resilience, remembrance, and LGBTQ+ visibility. In 2020, the project evolved beyond a static installation into a dynamic public artwork designed to connect people through light, color, and shared experience. Using 2,700 cBright EncapLED RGBW pixels, the traditional floodlit canvas was transformed into a large-scale digital media installation capable of vibrant color movement and animated effects. Powered by Art-Net–enabled DMX control, the triangle became visible across the Bay Area skyline. Light as a public expression of visibility and unity.The project turned Twin Peaks into a beacon of inclusion, hope, and celebration at a time when shared public symbols carried special meaning. The illuminated triangle extended the emotional reach of the installation, allowing people across the Bay Area to experience Pride from a distance.
