Case Study: American Airlines Center improves parking garage lighting and fan experience with Cree Lighting LED solutions

American Airlines Center upgrades 2 garages and a loading dock with Cree Lighting

The American Airlines Center, a major sports and entertainment arena in Dallas, faced a challenge with its outdated and inefficient high-pressure sodium and metal halide parking garage lighting. The fixtures were a maintenance nightmare, provided poor and inconsistent illumination, and raised security concerns. Seeking a better experience for fans and significant cost savings, master electrician Leroy Juel sought an LED upgrade and was introduced to Cree Lighting.

Cree Lighting provided its IG Series LED fixtures as the solution. The implementation resulted in a dramatically improved lighting experience for visitors, enhancing both the ambiance and security of the parking structures. For management, the new system provided substantial energy savings and effectively eliminated the previous maintenance problems. The customer was thoroughly impressed with the performance and savings delivered by Cree Lighting.
