For the overall success of any high school athletics program, lighting must play a pivotal role in enhancing the experience for everyone involved – from players and coaches to spectators and neighbors. Musco Lighting has set a new benchmark with its Total Control Lighting (TLC) for LED technology, marking a significant leap forward in energy-efficient, cost-effective outdoor lighting solutions.
After Paintsville (Ky.) High School switched its baseball field lighting to LED technology, they found the new lights failed to meet necessary brightness and consistency standards. Recognizing the significant differences in LED sports lighting quality, school officials realized a need for an upgrade to enhance game viewing and playing conditions. Paintsville sought an experienced provider capable of significantly increasing light levels to meet Kentucky High School Athletic Association (KHSAA) standards, ensuring sustained high-quality illumination for the future.
Having previously benefited from Musco’s lighting solutions on other school fields, Paintsville High School trusted the effectiveness of Musco’s LED technology for their baseball field upgrade. They opted for Musco’s Total Light Control – TLC for LED technology, which not only meets but exceeds KHSAA lighting standards by tripling on-field brightness.
The addition of Musco’s BallTracker technology enhances visibility, allowing players and spectators to easily follow the ball’s trajectory at night. Furthermore, the school can now remotely manage lighting via smartphone with Control-Link service, and thanks to Musco’s comprehensive warranty, faces no maintenance costs until 2046.
“The deficiencies created by our previous lighting system created an extremely unsafe playing field for all of our baseball programs,” says David Gibson, Superintendent of Paintsville Independent Schools. “Our Board of Educators selected Musco to solve our problems based on Musco’s long history of being the standard bearer for field lighting. The new lighting is top of the line and resolves any safety issues we had previously.”
