The lighting scheme of the Fair features a special modular type luminaire, embodying standardized cubical units assembled in a variety of forms, and utilizing a new square-panel type fluorescent lamp.

Unique and colorful in design, these street lighting fixtures present a fresh and exciting appearance, contributing their share to the cheerful mood of the Fair.

1842 street lighting standards were installed for Fair use. 961 of them will be removed after the Fair, to be replaced by 531 additional bases, providing a total of 1412 lighting standards for post-Fair use.
