The 2013 U.S. Open begins next Monday, August 26th at the U.S. Tennis Center in Flushing, Queens in New York City, and ESPN's telecasts will be lit with the industry's first 100% LED lighting set. Ferri Lighting Design & Associates (FLDA), the New York-based Emmy Award-winning team behind renowned sports installations, including multiple designs for ESPN, NBC Sports and the MLB Network, has created the industry-first design for the installation, which includes three outdoor locations, which include the ESPN announce booth; and two locations in the main stadium at the U.S. Tennis Center in Flushing, Queens in New York City.

The FLDA design for ESPN is notable for its ability to leverage a green production standard, using a completely LED installation, and creating enough light to counteract the sun’s brightness for the outdoor interview set. This year marks the fifth U.S. Open that FLDA has collaborated on with ESPN.
