LD Systems led the team in technical production and creative coordination for the Power of Houston events. The Power of Houston was a vision overtop a backdrop of the Houston skyline. Billed as "The Largest Laser, Light and Fireworks Spectacular in North America", it was visually stunning.

Ten tons of pyrotechnics, four hundred optical watts of laser, and two million watts of light were used to create the event. The event presents a unique set of communications and technical challenges, not the least of which is the necessity of linking 84 sites with 15 miles of dedicated cabling to ensure split-second timing throughout the show. This was accomplished by setting up a central voice and data communications headquarters which functioned around the clock for several weeks leading up to the event. 125 highly skilled technicians joined the team for a three week period of set-up and operation. The presentation was seen by millions of spectators, covered 144 city blocks, and was visible 360 degrees around the cityscape. Buildings up to 1,200 ft. were illuminated in a multitude of colors, as over sixty became the "stage" from which to launch pyrotechnics, mount large format lighting, and construct wash lighting towers.
