Woodland Hills High School Soccer

The Challenge

Woodland Hills High School wanted a lighting system at its soccer field for roughly 20 years, however due to spill light and glare concerns from neighbors, the project was never allowed to move ahead. The field’s location at the top of the hill presented additional challenges, as any lighting at the facility would have to meet strict spill and glare control standards to avoid negatively affecting neighbors’ homes at the bottom of the hill. The school also had concerns about its newly installed turf and wanted to make sure the installation of any new lights wouldn’t damage the field.

The Solution

School and city leaders went on a tour of fields in neighboring towns that had Musco’s Total Light Control – TLC for LED™ technology. Seeing Musco’s solutions in action demonstrated its ability to minimize glare and spill light at a level that would preserve dark nights for neighboring homes at the bottom of the hill. Musco was also able to directionally bore into the ground during installation, saving Woodland Hills High School’s new turf field from being ruined during the installation process. Now after 20 years of waiting, Woodland Hills High School finally has the lighting system it dreamed of.
