There are two types of light-ups at Tokyo Tower, the "Landmark Light" and the "Infinity Diamond Veil," a new light-up which started this year with the new era, Reiwa.
Landmark Light
This is the standard light-up illuminating Tokyo Tower with 180 lights that make it stand out. There are two different patterns, the "Summer Version" and the "Winter Version," and silver lights called "metal-halide lamps" are used in the summer. The distinctive impression of the white lights is reminiscent of a cool breeze, and the light-up switches to the summer version on July 7th, a holiday called Tanabata in Japan, every year.
In the winter, lights called "high-pressure sodium lamps" with a warm orange tone are used. The light-up switches over to the winter version in early October every year.
Infinity Diamond Veil
The Infinity Diamond Veil - a "New Light-Up for the Reiwa Era" was launched in October of 2019.
There are 268 LED lights set up on 17 floors which can all be controlled individually and produce an endless range of light colors and patterns.
Diamon Veil lights up on Monday every week, in 12 different colors depending on the month.
During national holidays and / or special events, Tokyo Tower lights up in different patterns according to the occasion.
