pakapablo Posted July 15 I saw on LinkedIn that a local electrical contractor started the Chaifetz Arena lighting replacement project today. I am sure the new lighting will be great but I think the sound system needed upgrading before the lighting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JMM28 Posted July 15 There are a lot of grants right now for facilities like Chaifetz to convert to LED lightning. I am totally assuming that is what kind of lighting they are installing there. Depending on the type of system, there is an opportunity to do some cool stuff with those kind of lights. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
willie Posted July 15 The sound system is not good. I believe it varies from where you sit. I know when I go to a women's game and sit mid court I can hear much better. Maybe I don't hate Gus like most of you is that I don't hear him as well. 1 billiken_roy reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old guy Posted July 15 I am not sure about the expected life span of LED lights for Arenas and the like, but they should save some money and produce less heat than sodium lights and other types of floodlights. If you get better lights and save money in the process this is good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billikenfan05 Posted July 15 LED lighting is also great for fan experience. You can do a lot of cool light displays for things like pregame intros and halftime shows. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
