New Delhi, Oct 14 (PTI) Over 2,700 shots of fireworks, 25 stacks of speakers producing 500,000 Watts of sound and 1,200 moving lights combined with the majestic aerostat came together to create a spectacular closing ceremony of the Commonwealth Games at the Jawaharlal Nehru stadium here today. Leaving the about 60,000 spectators spellbound were the lighting arrangements that took people through various moods, from that of national pride when the national anthem was being played to that of pure ecstasy as laser beams cut through the grand stadium. About 1,200 moving lights, 120 space cannons and 16 Follow spots weighing approximately 75 tonnes was what it took to leave the spectators breathless. Not to be missed out were the 2,700 shots of fireworks spread over 88 locations on the roof of the stadium. The crowd had erupted in revelry as the fire-crackers went up in air. Another attraction was the Aerostat, suspended 25 metres above the ground. With a size of 40M X 80M X 12M and a 360 degree projection surface, the aerostat was really a showstopper. The entire system was supported by over whooping 50 km of power cables. Divided onto four generator farms, 10 Mega Watts of power was supplied through 26 feeder panels for the Closing Ceremony.
