doesnt matter what kind of bulb if the power goes out like it did in the superdome 2 years ago.
Actually, it makes a lot of difference.
If the lights ever go out due to a power surge, like they did for 34 minutes at the 2013 Super Bowl in New Orleans, the delay will be minimal. LED lights can be turned on and off with the flick of a switch. Metal halide fixtures require a 20-minute warm-up period.
Not to mention, reduced lighting and associated cooling loads means less strain on the power system.
