Just look at that rendering. There is perfect uniformity of illumination. But where is it lit from? A point source just does not have the ability to create that look. Also, the vertical illumination is outstanding in the rendering. LEDs don't have a prayer when it comes to providing that kind of a finished look.

Also, with the LED's weak lumen to watt ratio, there's no way you could possibly find enough source locations to provide that kind of horizontal illuminance all the way across the bridge. It looks to me like the lighting will be mounted along the centre ceiling. Trust me when I say that if you tried to light that tunnel with a strip of LED lighting along the centre the lighting would be awful. You wouldn't want to be biking, that's for sure.
