PECO’s Crown Lights have been an iconic Philadelphia landmark since 1976, and that won’t change anytime soon. However, on July 6, PECO will power down the lights as the platform undergoes system upgrades. The Crown Lights will return later this fall.
Throughout the years, the Crown Lights have supported a multitude of community and nonprofit organizations and have celebrated many significant local, regional, and national milestones, including: the Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl LII Victory, the Democratic National Convention, and the World Meeting of Families Conference and the Papal Visit.
