By GlobalData"As we researched the LED lighting options available, it was clear to us that Ephesus Lighting had the best solution from the standpoint of lighting quality, operations flexibility and energy efficiency."
Compared to the earlier system, the new Ephesus LED lighting system provides better quality lighting and allows shining more uniformly on the playing surface as well as creates a better stage for players and audiences both in the stadium and those watching on high-definition television.
The easy to install LED system also provides operational flexibility and helps creating programmable light shows for fan entertainment.
It is also said to require less operating costs compared to other sports lighting systems.
Eaton Ephesus Lighting business president Mike Lorenz said: "Since we installed the first LED lighting system in a North American sports arena, facility operators have come to understand that our digital lighting solutions create an enhanced stage for fans and performers.
"Our recent installation at Globe Life Park, home of the Texas Rangers, Hawkins Field at Vanderbilt and others, illustrates that baseball stadium facility operators are clearly seeing the benefits that our digital lighting solution offers them, as well as their fans, players and broadcasters."
