Wakefield High School

Wakefield High School recently underwent construction and facility renovations, which included updating its football and soccer field. Situated in a highly populated urban area in Arlington County, Virginia, the school started to receive complaints from neighbors over the glare caused by the lights on the football field. Wakefield needed a complete lighting solution to address these concerns. A solution that would be both cost effective and energy efficient, while also improving on-field lighting without disturbing the natural darkness around the stadium.

Representatives of the school, after evaluating their options, chose Musco and its Total Light Control—TLC for LED™ technology, due to the system’s superior performance and our experience and reputation as the industry leader. With the installation of TLC for LED, which was factory-aimed to meet the exact needs at Wakefield’s stadium, school officials and neighbors have seen a night and day difference.

Key benefits include:

• Total Light Control – the system’s patented optics and glare control technology virtually eliminates spill-light and glare onto the surrounding homes surrounding Wakefield’s stadium.
• Better On-Field Visibility – the system achieves a more uniform and enhanced lighting distribution across the field improving visibility for players and fans.
• Energy Efficient – the LED system has reduced energy consumption by 62 percent when compared to the previous system.
• Zero Maintenance – our comprehensive parts and labor warranty eliminates maintenance concerns and costs at Wakefield for 25 years.
