The easy-to-install LED system is expected to improve the viewing experience for spectators, and cuts energy usage by as much as 75%.

Eaton Ephesus Lighting business president Mike Lorenz said: “Since we installed the first solid-state sports lighting system, facility operators and team executives have come to understand that our digital lighting solutions offer a distinct advantage when compared to conventional LED lights in creating an enhanced stage for fans and performers.

“Professional baseball teams have been especially drawn to the ability of our system to better minimise glare zones and keep lighting levels consistent for players and fans, as the sun sets and it turns from dusk to the night sky.”
