The "unique, custom-made" decorative lights will be switched on for the first time on Thursday.
The lights will run down the central median strip of Lonsdale Street. From the city to Haig Park between Cooyong and Girrahween streets.
They look like lanterns from a distance and can be programmed to any colour, depending on the event, and, no surprises, turning red and green throughout December.
In the City Canberra CEO Jane Easthope said the lights would generally be turned on between 7pm and 10pm.
"We are really proud of this high-profile light installation that brings an impressive sparkle to Lonsdale Street," Ms Easthope said.
"Thanks must also go to the ACT Government for their contribution to the under-ground electricity that will power the lights.
"The lights are state of the art, LED energy-saving custom-made vandal resistant polycarbonate balls. They are high-quality and durable to withstand all Canberra seasons, with the lights and controller specially designed by Canberra business Infinite Lights and Sounds."
