"This new LED system delivers an extraordinary brilliant white light that adds punch and excitement to every sports event – from the neighborhood sports park to large professional arenas," said New York Yankees legendary pitching great Mariano Rivera, an Evolucia investor. "It's cheaper, brighter, greener and the best LED play."
"We're proud to strategically expand our advanced LED products and solutions," said Paul Montesino, Evolucia VP of Marketing. "Here, we quickly leveraged our innovation and unique insight into the fast-growing Arena and Stadium lighting market to deliver the best in class LED solution available today."
The SportsLegend luminaire's exceptionally long life and rugged construction provides virtually maintenance-free operations, greatly reducing costs associated with non-LED lamp replacements. Featuring a 50,000-hour average rated life, it delivers excellent energy savings of up to 60% over existing 1,000- and 1,500-watt metal halide sports lighting fixtures.
It also eliminates nuisance interruptions from brownouts and blackouts during events by allowing the lighting system to restart immediately upon restoration of power. Existing metal halide lights require up to 15 minutes to restart.
Because of its low-energy consumption and "instant on" capabilities, the "SportsLegend" luminaire is well suited for regions where high-energy costs and fluctuating energy supplies are common, such as Latin America and the Caribbean.
"Switching to the 'SportsLegend' and the other Evolucia lighting solutions will conserve energy, reduce pollution and save money," Rivera added.
The company will kick-off its new sports and stadium lighting line with 480-watt and 640-watt LED intelligent luminaires.
