Pittsburgh Pirates See Better Lighting and Control

April 12, 2017
The system at PNC Park features Ephesus Stadium Pro fixtures with a wired DMX control system, which offers 100% dimming ability, color temperature tuning and advanced control capabilities within each fixture.

The Pittsburg Pirates and its fans open the 2017 season with a new look thanks to a new sports lighting and control system at PNC Park. The Eaton system gives the park’s facility operators LED efficiency and advanced lighting controls to enhance the viewing experience for spectators while reducing energy use by as much as 75%.

The Pirates join four other Major League Baseball teams playing home games under Eaton’s LED sports lighting solution this season. The Texas Rangers last season became the first team to install Eaton’s Ephesus LED Lighting and controls system, and the Minnesota Twins, Los Angeles Angels and Cleveland Indians are also installing the system this season. 

“We selected Eaton’s sports lighting system in large part because of its industry-leading glare control and overall performance capabilities that will make PNC Park an even better place to watch and play,” said Pittsburgh Pirates President Frank Coonelly. “The system’s ability to provide high-quality and consistent lighting and game entertainment functions is consistent with our mission of making PNC Park the best place to watch a ballgame. We know our fans will enjoy the many new and exciting capabilities these lights offer.”

The system at PNC Park features Ephesus Stadium Pro fixtures with a wired DMX control system, which offers 100% dimming ability, color temperature tuning and advanced control capabilities within each fixture.

Despite installing significantly fewer fixtures than the previous systems, Eaton’s Ephesus sports lighting product line will provide optimal lighting that illuminates more uniformly on the playing surface and offers an improved stage for players and fans watching live and on high-definition television.
