Workers wait for the helicopter to start installing the new LED lights at the Olympic Jumping Complex on Thursday. The state Olympic Regional Development Authority began installing a new lighting system at the Olympic Ski Jumping Complex on Thursday. The venue was temporarily closed to the public because of helicopter activity for the installation. The new LED lighting system includes LED replacement lights that are expected to be more energy-efficient; are zoned lighting for the various jumps to light only what is required at any given time rather than the entire facility; will offer greater control and pinpoint accuracy to diminish the side effect of nighttime light in Adirondack skies; and will enhance visibility for athletes and create the right environment for major network television broadcasts, according to ORDA.
