I assume you need permit for such a large installation, for safety reasons. Design on picture is one thing but you need to make sure it will stand safely on the roof and not fall on people's heads

The timing of the video is so hilarious: "Wow, that is bright. Well, at least it's not... it's strobing, too?!"
