Airport puts energy-saving lights in parking lots

Photo by M.J. Subiria Arauz Louis Miller, aviation general manager at Hartsfield-Jackson, speaks to the media about the energy-saving light fixtures that will be installed in the airport’s north and south, covered parking lots.

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport seems to be looking a lot brighter these days. The airport is replacing its 4,342 metal-halide fixtures, with energy-saving lighting in the north and south, covered parking lots, said Louis Miller, aviation general manager at Hartsfield-Jackson.

He said the 210-watt metal halide fixtures will be switched with Cooper Lightings 80-watt, light-emiting-diode fixtures. This is amazing, because where we are standing with these new lights, they are not only brighter for our passengers, but they last a lot longer ... It is a lot less energy that we use, said Miller, during a press conference at the airport.
