The new lighting setup will feature color-changing, image-projecting, and flash-producing equipment, making it a real spectacle to behold. But hold up, it looks like the tender's still in the discussion phase.
Fun fact: The tender details are reportedly lifted straight from the materials used in 2020 for renovating the Ostankino Tower's lighting system.

Meanwhile, the Ostankino Tower in Moscow is synonymous with dynamic lighting displays that have undergone several major renovations.
