I don't know why they bothered to announce the testing, but I guess it's not to alarm anyone. Anyway, they shouldn't make a big deal about it until it's on permanently.

The 408-foot beacon and spire will be lit up as a test at 5:30 p.m. Friday, officials said.
With its 288 50-watt modules shining brightly, the spire, which is also a broadcast tower, will be visible from 50 miles away on a clear night.
The goal is to eventually have the spire lit every night, adding some extra shine to the New York skyline, said a spokesman from The Durst Corporation, which co-owns 1 WTC with the Port Authority.
