Ephesus Lighting Provides Lighting for its Second NBA Team
Now lighting the home of the Miami Heat
Earlier this month, the NBA's Miami Heat took to the court for a preseason game under LED lighting made by Ephesus Lighting in Downtown Syracuse. To date, the Miami Heat joins one other NBA team, the Minnesota Timberwolves, to install Ephesus Lighting's work. Earlier this year, it was announced that Ephesis would light the First Niagara Center in Buffalo, home to the NHL's Buffalo Sabres. Since its start in the Tech Garden in 2011, Ephesus has been tapped to light several other professional sports venues and university sports facilities, but it is arguably best known for lighting the 2015 Super Bowl. Ephesus is currently expanding into the space formerly occupied by Jolime, on the corner of Jefferson and Warren Streets.
