Everyone in attendance at the Opening Ceremony of the 2010 Winter Olympics received an Audience Kit that contained among other things battery-powered candles and an LED flashlight.  If you watched the Opening Ceremony, you know it was a visual spectacle that highlighted Canada’s distinct culture, music and art.

The use of battery operated candles and flashlights made for a very magical show which included a 20-metre LED light covered bear which dropped out of the sky to the main stage in a cascade of falling stars and the audience who recreated a northern light sky with thousands of LED flashlights.

If you happened to miss it, take a look at some of the highlights of a show that inspired the world!
