Santander Arena Installs New LED Lighting System

The ASM Global Managed Santander Arena in Reading, Pennsylvania has recently completed an upgrade to it’s in-arena lighting system for events produced by MUSCO and installed locally by Pagoda Electrical.

Since 1976, Musco Lighting has specialized in the design and manufacture of sports and transportation/infrastructure lighting solutions around the world. They’ve pioneered systems using metal halide and LED technologies that have made dramatic improvements in energy efficiency and provided affordable ways to control spill light and glare.

The new lighting marks the first of multiple projects under way during the venue’s 20th Anniversary Season. The Arena’s previous lighting system operated at just 18,000 Lumens, where as the new system provides over double the lighting as it operates at 50,000 Lumens. The new LED system are set to operate at a “cooler” temperature on the Kelvin scale giving a truer white for events and have 14 RGBA fixtures which allow the color of the arena to be changed for events and hockey games.
