Illuminating the Artemis Rocket Launch Pad ! Our Most Challenging LED Manufacturing Project to Date. Challenge accepted !

More than half a century after humans last traveled to the moon, NASA is preparing to send astronauts back into deep space — this time, they’re going beyond the moon. The Artemis II mission, scheduled to launch Wednesday, Apr. 1, will be another night launch illuminated with custom designed Made in USA LED luminaires manufactured by EnviroLux Energy Systems.   The Artemis will carry four astronauts on a 10-day journey around the moon and back to Earth — marking the first crewed mission beyond low-Earth orbit since NASA’s Apollo 17 in 1972.

In 2020, EnviroLux was commissioned to design and manufacture a state-of-the-art LED lighting system for illuminating the new launch pad at Kennedy Space Center. This cutting-edge Launch PAD was built specifically for the Artemis spacecraft, which towers an impressive 322 feet tall. The EnviroLux LED Lighting design needed to provide flawless illumination for the historic launches ahead — events that would be captured on film for generations to enjoy on channels like Discovery and History.


EnviroLux rose to the occasion, engineering and producing over 300 custom LED luminaires to illuminate the launch pad and the Artemis rocket itself.  For context, the Artemis generated approximately 8.8 million pounds of thrust at liftoff — equivalent to roughly 39 million newtons—primarily from its four RS-25 core engines and two solid rocket boosters. That's about 15% more powerful than the legendary Saturn V rocket.


Remarkably, not a single EnviroLux LED luminaire in proximity of the Launch PAD after launch, had failed, underscoring the exceptional quality and durability of EnviroLux Made-in-USA LED lighting products.
