Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center, home of basketball’s 76ers and hockey’s Flyers, switched to LED lighting this season, spending $473,000 on a system that it expects to cut energy bills by $144,000 a year. Eight other venues used by the four major U.S. sports leagues use LED, but all future ones will, according to National Basketball Association's EVP of operations and technology Steve Hellmuth.
