An iconic site on the San Diego waterfront
From the distinct rounded glass facade to the pointed roof structure of the Sails Pavilion, the San Diego Convention Center is an iconic and valuable part of San Diego’s downtown. The building was originally opened in 1989 and expanded in 2001. Each year a wide range of meetings, conventions, and trade shows draw well over 800,000 attendees, generating billions of dollars of revenue for the city. The most popular of these is the annual Comic-Con International convention which draws media attention around the world.
BEGA pole top luminaires can be found on this massive site in the collection of well manicured lawns and exterior plazas. Single and twin head pole top luminaires light the walking paths, grass, and sculptures in the Convention Center Park. The light source is fully shielded to minimize glare, and provides an asymmetric wide beam distribution to maximize spacing between luminaires.
