New Lights Installed in Rodio Gym

Posted December 13th, 2013

 

If you think it is much brighter in Rodio Gym the next time you visit, your eyes are not fooling you.  Recently 36 new LED lighting fixtures were installed which have doubled the light output of the original 24 metal halide fixtures.  An additional benefit is that the new system will consume less energy while providing more light.

The new lights require no warm-up period and can be dimmed to suit the needs of the event taking place in the gym.  The project was financed completely through a grant from the New Jersey Clean Energy Program and the generosity of four Prep benefactors, who also made possible the re-surfacing of the gym floor to include the new Hermit logo and Coach Rodio’s signature.

Coach Rodio is hoping that the brighter lights will assist some basketball referees in making good calls!
