Miami Tower adds LED lighting system

The 47-story Miami Tower office building, which gives a unique color to Miami’s skyline at night, has installed new LED exterior lighting system that will lower its energy usage by 92 percent, the project announced today. That will mean a $260,000 savings and a 1.2-million-pound drop in carbon dioxide emissions. The system includes 216 LED fixtures that can produce up to 16 million colors. “We’ve not only revived the building, but have changed the Miami skyline forever,” said Gavin Cooper, vice president of LED source, the firm that installed the new system. — Alexander Britell
