PNC Park Retrofitted with New LED Lighting System

As of March 2017, PNC Park, the 38,362-seat home of the Pittsburgh Pirates Major League Baseball team, has benefited from a retrofit LED lighting system from Eaton’s Ephesus Lighting Solutions on the playing field, replacing a metal-halide system. This upgrade reduces glare, provides more uniform on-field illumination, and requires little to no maintenance. “To minimize glare, we maximize the number of point sources on the fixture—the total number of LEDs used—to essentially spread the light out more evenly across its face,” says Mike Lorenz, Ephesus president. “We also use custom lenses to precisely direct the light where we want.”
