Hilton has lost its luster....

Believe what you want.
First of all, not many LED fixtures that you would install in an arena have bulbs. And when we were testing fixtures for our project Musco was not at the top of the performance list. They have been doing event lighting for a long time but when we did our project and when Hilton was being relit pretty much everyone in the industry was trying to perfect an LED version of their lights; some with better success than others.
OP and any supporting posts for that matter...
No doubt you know what you are talking about from a technical perspective. It was just funny the way I heard it in my head. I only know of Musco from their reputation, not from actual industry experience. What you said does actually make sense with what many people are saying about the lighting.

I mean I think most people are aware of this, but the talk of the lighting being a bug/defective bulb, instead of a feature made we worry that that not everyone knew this was a strategy to draw the visual attention to the court. The Lakers have had this strategy for awhile, and interestingly even though the Clips and Lakers played in the same building they had different lighting styles for like 10 years.

We in the industry call them 'lamps' not 'bulbs'
But yes LED have come a long ways in the last couple of years.
jereseib paid you to post this didn't he?
First it was ties, now lighting, yet another angle of holding Prohm accountable for such a horrible run in ISU basketball history.
That diabolic bastard will stop at nothing to try and convince people Steve Prohm is simply Ken Trickey reincarnated. And that Fred Hoiberg was actually the love child of Adolph Rupp and John Wooden.

I know. That was in direct reply to the terminology in the post to which I was responding. If I changed it to lamps it might have been confusing for him.

Good first post. Please post more. Maybe in the thread about ties.
Once again, it is my fault! I'm dragging Velo down to my layman's level Sorry.
But it is true that I get an almost instant headache when I sit near the floor. And I do miss the more golden tones on the old TV broadcasts. As for the balcony being darker in person, I don't think it is, except that it might seem darker because the floor is brighter.
