How many dots/leds in the Sky lounge?

I can’t find a strait answer as there are reports of 3000 to 12000.
My kids asked me this last night. Anyone know the official/correct answer???

"The Panorama glass roof Sky Lounge, meanwhile, generates a very special and exclusive aura when darkness falls, with LED light spreading evenly across the glass surfaces to illuminate more than 15,000 graphic patterns and generate a display reminiscent of a starlit sky. The colour scheme of this atmospheric light show can be adapted as desired."

THat's 15000 graphic patters, not LED lights.

The LED lights themselves looks to be on the sides of the glass. The little etched dots in the glass is what's reflecting the lights.

My guess is two led strips, one on each side of the glass with 15000 etched dots in the glass to reflect the lights. How many lights in each strip? No idea.

All you need to do count one row and one column and multiply 😆

Or count how many are in 1-2 inches in each direction, find the total length in each direction and you have each side then multiply one by another ...

Half way through their counting I am going to start saying random numbers out loud. “1038, 2125, 975,......”.
