Musco Lighting: A Little League Approved Lighting Provider Thousands of schools, cities, and facility owners have counted on Musco as part of their team, while providing the most value for their sports-lighting budget. Tri-Cities Little League is working with Musco and the Dundee Township Park District to design and implement lighting for its fields featuring new environmentally friendly LED Light Source technology. The league and park district will work with Musco for a plan to get electrical power to the site, coordination with the utility power company, lighting design and install. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Budget Estimate Randall Oaks Complex, West Dundee, Ill.

The proposed cost-effective light placement design by Musco below offers the Randall Oaks playing fields sufficient LED lighting with 13 total poles. Installation will be reduced significantly utilizing internally sourced licensed volunteers and Musco approved contractors. LED lighting will be practical, affordable, and environmentally friendly. Although the Randall Oaks Recreational Center playing fields will not have to worry about impacting any neighbors with lighting since the location is situated far away from neighborhoods and businesses, the environmentally friendly LED lighting from Musco will allow the league to light the fields, yet light nothing else around it. Emitting light is easy. But LED fixtures that can’t effectively control the light being emitted brings the unintended consequences of glare for players and neighbors, and wasteful spill into the night sky. However, Musco’s Total Light Control-TLC for LED, allowed the firm to take LED to a level of performance and precision never before seen in sports lighting. It means no disruptive glare into nearby homes and the preservation of dark skies above. This new innovation helped the league to decide that LED lights would be a great addition to the fields.
