Van Wezel Gets New LED Lights For Parking Lot

Florida Power and Light is helping the city-owned Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall with energy efficient lighting.

You might notice a different type of lighting the next time you walk to your car after a show at the Van Wezel.

Florida Power and Light installed 25 new LED lights Tuesday outside the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall in Sarasota as part of a pilot test program for streetlights.

FPL is working to monitor and evaluate how these new LED lights perform over the next several years and installed the lights at no charge at the Van Wezel, according to the power company.
