Niagara Falls is by far the largest tourist attraction on the U.S.-Canada border. Every year 12 million visitors flock to the Falls. For decades, many of these visitors have stayed the night to view the crystal waters lit by 21 massive searchlights. Indeed, the lighting of the Falls dates back to 1860 when they were first lit in honor of the Prince of Wales' visit to Canada.
Recently, however, thanks to the Niagara Falls Illumination Board, the lighting system at the Falls has undergone a major LED lighting upgrade-- the first upgrade to the lighting system at the Falls in 20 years. This LED upgrade has brought a number of benefits. For example, tourists now enjoy a broader range of colors thanks to the upgraded technology making their visit even more memorable. And not only are the colors more varied but they are brighter, twice as bright as before to be precise.
Most important, however, is the fact that the LED upgrade promises massive cost savings. CTV News reports that the 1,400 new LED luminaries at the Falls will reduce energy costs by up to 60%. Given the frequency with which the Niagara light show occurs, the savings gained by the installation of the new LED system will certainly be substantial.
While not every business can boast the beauty of Niagara Falls, all businesses can benefit from the cost savings that an LED upgrade can bring about.
