Sacramento International Airport

With glass curtains on three sides and a $6 million collection of public art, the new $1 billion main terminal at Sacramento International Airport aims to create a memorable gateway to California’s capital region, besides positioning the airport for future growth.

In keeping with that goal, iLight Plexineon White 2X 4500K fixtures were chosen to provide both energy-efficient illumination and a design element. Installed on the undersides of escalators that span three levels and run overhead, the LED fixtures also frame the terminal’s signature feature: a suspended, 56-foot-long aluminum sculpture of a red hare diving into a suitcase.
