PNC Park joins stadium lighting revolution
“The team announced last week the installation of new LED stadium lights at PNC Park, an upgrade that will reduce glare and provide more uniform on-field illumination, as well as decrease the Pirates’ long-term operational costs. . .
“Seven other ballparks feature LED lighting systems from other companies, bringing the MLB total to 12 LED-lit ballparks.
Thought of by many at the start of the decade as unable to be implemented at a professional sports stadium level, LED lighting is quickly becoming the norm for stadiums because of its high efficiency, high compatibility with TV broadcasts, high controllability and low maintenance, Ephesus Lighting president Mike Lorenz said.”
