The lights from the Pacific Wheel reflect off the Pacific shore-line on Sunday, June 8, 2008. The Pacific Wheel has 160,000 LED lights.  LED lights use light-emitting diodes as a source of illumination rather than electrical filaments or gas and have high light output with lower power consumption and have much longer lifetimes, such that they do not require replacement.
