Periscope
This has low level lighting in order to have a clear view of the river under the platform. Bright yellow ducks performing activities that have been done in the Megatron are anchored in position. These and the river are illuminated via the natural light entering the outer glass tube, which then reflects the image up the inner aluminium tube for the visitors to see.

Bridge
They’d walk onto the bridge made with a glass floor to see the rainwater flowing beneath them. Natural light enters through the perforated aluminium arches, but the LED Lights help to orientate and direct the visitors to the periscope room, on platform 5.
