This case study documents the lighting solution implemented at SpaceX's Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex LC-39A. Following NASA's selection of SpaceX as the commercial tenant for the launch pad in 2014, significant renovations were undertaken to accommodate the next generation of space flight. The need for bright, durable illumination on the walkways of the launch tower was identified, leading to the selection of G&G's low-profile, linkable IP67 rated driverless LED luminaires. These fixtures were installed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, including exposure to water, debris, and heat from astronaut training and rocket launches. The case study details the installation process, highlighting the ease of use and aesthetic appeal of the GPX series luminaires. The report concludes with positive feedback from SpaceX regarding the performance and design of the lighting solution, emphasizing its contribution to the modern aesthetic of the launch complex.
