Musco Sports Lighting PSU Practice Fields

Penn State needed lighting for their men's and women's soccer teams to allow for longer evening practices than daylight allowed. Choosing Musco's Light-Structure Green™ systems made the most sense, for the cost savings in both energy and maintenance as well as the lights' superior spill and glare control. "We like Musco's Green Generation™ system because it uses less electricity to operate. They are definitely energy-efficient lighting systems," explained Penn Sate Project Manager for Design and Construction Marvin Bevan. Said PSU's Head Women's Soccer Coach Erica Walsh, "The best thing about Musco lights is that I don't notice spill light. The spill light shouldn't be a distraction."
