ANC Forms Official Partnership with Cooper Lighting Solutions and Ephesus Sports Lighting
Combining the expertise and innovation of three industry leaders to deliver modernized lighting for sports and entertainment venues nationwide.
PURCHASE, NY—JULY 15, 2024— ANC is thrilled to announce a strategic partnership with Cooper Lighting Solutions and Ephesus Sports Lighting. After finding many synergies across priority markets, including Chicago, Houston, and Philadelphia, ANC chose Ephesus Sports Lighting as a long-term strategic partner across high school, collegiate, and professional sports facilities of all sizes nationwide. Ephesus is owned by Cooper Lighting Solutions, a business unit of Signify, the world leader in global lighting technology.
As the industry’s leading provider of diversified solutions in digital signage and venue technologies for more than a quarter of a century, ANC consistently seeks out best-in-class technology platforms that complement its breadth of venue solutions. The Ephesus Sports Lighting partnership is a strategic addition to ANC’s suite of cohesive offerings, as many ANC venue partners are preparing for the end of the natural life cycle of their existing infrastructure lighting or, alternatively, clients increasingly envision building new homes for their teams with only the most cutting-edge features.
“With ANC, you’re doing business with a company that’s committed to this space for the long term. Partners like Ephesus share our focus on client needs and innovation, and we’re excited to bring their enhanced sports lighting to ANC’s portfolio of partners,” said Jerry Cifarelli, Jr, CEO of ANC. “From the design and installation through gameday, we’re committed to delivering display and lighting systems that exceed the expectations of players, fans, and communities for years to come.”
Furthermore, ANC recognizes that upgrading the lighting in conjunction with other venue improvements, such as LED displays, software, and audio systems, offers several logistic advantages. Clients that make simultaneous upgrades can streamline installation processes and benefit from condensed timelines, reduced facility downtime, and optimized cost efficiencies. The result is a cohesive, modern, energy-efficient, and immersive venue environment that delivers energizing special effects technology for every special event and game day.
“We’re excited to begin this partnership with fellow industry leader ANC and help its venue partners evaluate the new, enhanced digital sports lighting system offerings that are now available,” said Gabe Hough, Business Director for Ephesus Sports Lighting. “Whether you're looking for stadium lighting, arena lighting, sports field lighting, gymnasium lighting, or anything you can think of, ANC and the Ephesus expert project management team can lead you through each step, helping to ensure your long-term success.”
These capabilities are why the full line of Ephesus sports lighting products is recognized for innovative design, superior efficiency, longer life, and better performance. With a variety of advanced systems, such as LumaSport 8, LumaSport 16, LumaSport Prism, and LumaVision, clients can expect unmatched performance, reliability, and versatility.
In addition, new lighting systems can operate seamlessly from ANC’s venue control software, LiveSync. Serving as a revolutionary, mission-critical software nerve center for many high-profile collegiate and professional sports venues, LiveSync provides complete venue management, including maximum controllability and real-time flexibility for their high-quality LED lighting.
