Another light pollution source in Uluru

Uluru is supposed to be a natural heritage site, but now they launched an artwork with LED lighting in the park. Of course, (particularly colored) LEDs are not as bad as light belching HPS or MH floods, but when this is meant to be permanent it is a real insult of a nature area.

Quote:
More than 50,000 slender stems crowned with frosted-glass spheres bloom as darkness falls over Australia’s spiritual heartland.
When darkness falls in a nature park, thousands of stars should fall over Australia's spirital heartland and not an artificial light source.
Unless it is a one time event or it is enabled for a very short part of the night.

Otherwise this will impair the dark sky nature of Uluru and Australia is one of the few large areas with a dark sky.
