The largest shopping mall in the U.S., the Mall of America is converting all of its parking ramp lighting to LED's.

I live about 6 miles from this facility, but what if I were within a few blocks.  

Once they are installed I'll drive the mobile over there and see how quiet the new LED lighting are.
