Holy LED light Super Bowl!  As sports technology continues to advance, so does the lighting that illuminates our favorite stadiums. The University of Phoenix Stadium, the host venue for the 2015 Championship Game, made history by becoming the first NFL venue to adopt high-performance LED sports lighting. The installation of Ephesus LED stadium lights not only transformed the game-day experience for players, fans, and TV viewers, but it also delivered significant energy-saving benefits. In this article, we will explore how the University of Phoenix Stadium’s decision to switch to LED lighting not only enhanced the quality of the game but also contributed to a substantial reduction in energy consumption.

LED Light Super Bowl: The Evolution of Stadium Lighting

For decades, traditional metal halide lights dominated the sports lighting industry. While they provided adequate illumination, they came with several limitations. These lights required a lengthy warm-up period, making it challenging to create dynamic light shows for fan entertainment. Additionally, metal halide fixtures consumed a substantial amount of energy and required frequent maintenance.

Introducing Ephesus LED Stadium Light at the Super Bowl

In 2015, the University of Phoenix Stadium took a leap forward by partnering with Ephesus Lighting. For the leading provider of LED lighting solutions for sports facilities. Ephesus fixtures, powered by 44,928 Cree® XLamp MK-R LEDs, offered a revolutionary alternative. They were installed in the University of Phoenix Stadium to replace more than 780 metal halide fixtures. This is a huge step for the LED lighting industry. Thereby signifying the reality that 100 percent LED adoption. It is so within our reach. The new system uses just 310,000 watts of energy as compared to the 1.24 million watts needed to power the previous system. That’s a 75 percent reduction in overall sports lighting energy consumption. And, each Ephesus LED light provides nearly double the illumination of traditional metal halide lights. I mean the traditional lighting systems. These state-of-the-art LED light Super Bowl provided a significant increase in illumination while reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs.

Enhanced Player Experience with LED Light at the Super Bowl

The University of Phoenix Stadium’s switch to LED lighting ensured that athletes could perform at their best, enhancing the overall quality of the game.

This feature allows facility operators to create captivating light shows for fan entertainment. Additionally, in the event of a power outage, LED lights can be instantly turned back on. Thereby ensuring the safety and visibility of players and spectators.

A Look to the Future

The success of this lighting system has paved the way for other stadiums and sports facilities to make the switch to energy-efficient and visually superior LED lighting. As technology continues to evolve, we can expect even more advancements in sports lighting that will enhance the game experience while reducing energy consumption.

Joe Veilleux doesn’t view himself as an environmentalist, but he understands how his actions might paint him with that brush. “I’m not an environmentalist,” said Veilleux, general manager of the U.S. operations of natural health ingredient manufacturer Euromed. “I’m a pragmatist. There’s a difference. A lot of environmentalists have characterized their cause as one that pits them directly against corporate America. I’m part of corporate America, but I also recognize the debt I owe to the environment and want to do my fair share to protect it. In the long run, it’s just good for business and there are plenty of examples throughout history of how our environment is one of our most valuable natural resources.” Veilleux’s company is partner with the Everglades Foundation in a campaign dubbed Glade-iator (www.glade-iator.org), which is a model of the public-private partnership Veilleux believes is good for business.
