At Safeco Field, ANC Sports Enterprises installed a Lighthouse display distributed by Panasonic which is the largest LED video screen in Major League Baseball. A Lighthouse Impact 16 using Cree CLV6 LEDs, Safeco Field's new LED display is 1080p high by 3840p wide, the equivalent of two side-by-side high-definition screens. Standing 56.7' (17.28m) high, stretching 201.5' (61.42m) across, and totalling over 4m pixels, Safeco Field's new Lighthouse Impact 16 is an outstanding addition to the fan experience.
"We are extremely pleased to work with Lighthouse and Cree to bring outdoor surface- mount technology to our partner venues such as Dodger Stadium, LP Field, Safeco Field and a number of college facilities," said Jerry Cifarelli, president and chief executive officer of ANC Sports Enterprises. "Cree has changed the industry by designing weather resistant outdoor SMDs that enable high-resolution exterior LED displays that are every bit as good and reliable as any indoor venue LED video screen."
"Panasonic is proud to distribute Lighthouse products in North America, including the Cree-powered Impact Series, "stated Jim Doyle, president of Panasonic Eco Solutions North America. Jim went on to state, "Customer receptivity to this industry leading product has been tremendous. Once they see it next to our competitor's product, it wins hands-down. Customers do not want to be stuck with yesterday's technology. The Cree high-brightness SMD technology is the future and it's accessible today."
