It's by design. My bestie and I first spotted it from East 6th east of 35, noticed a bunch of flickering LEDs which then prompted us to head down to the Long Center then to Zilker. Right now it seems like they are all over the place with the lighting, however I'm sure they are doing segment tests for what is shaping out to be a very extensive lighting system. My thinking is they will be able to do different effects. It also may be that like the building itself, which looks different from different angles, they want to have a different lighting effect depending on which direction your viewing it. At first I didn't understand the point of the west facing strip of bright lights below the fin which made it much more difficult to spot the rainbow changing lights on the fin. You also can't really see them easily from the south either, but then it dawned on me that we saw the LEDs clearly from E. 6th. I have a hunch that those will be visible coming south on the upper decks of I35.
