Musco Lighting: Setting NJCAA facilities apart from the rest
Facilities across the country are in a constant state of improving the overall appearance of lighting systems to accommodate student-athletes, fans, and athletic programs. Throughout the pandemic, many institutions have taken advantage of suspended play and utilized the time to reevaluate lighting operations.
Musco Lighting, the Official Sports Lighting Provider of the NJCAA, sets the standard for excellence through unparalleled LED systems that fit a college's specific needs. Total Light Control, TLC for LED® system is just one way to reduce costs while improving light uniformity and minimizing glare and spill.
"Musco takes a lot of pride in the work we do with the NJCAA and junior colleges nationwide," said Jeff Rogers, President of Musco. "These schools and their teams are a huge source of pride within their communities. It's great seeing them so committed to providing the best possible stadium experience and atmosphere for their student-athletes and fans. We're always excited when we get to be a part of that with our lighting systems."
NJCAA member colleges across the country are seeking ways to improve the overall lighting prominence at sporting events. Forrest Allen, Midland (TX) Director of Athletics, has seen firsthand how lighting that has been featured at some of the most iconic venues in the NFL, MLB, and MLS has even transformed their softball facility.
"We have been incredibly pleased with our Musco field lighting system," said Allen. "The project was completed on-time and to our specifications and needs. Our campus, specifically the softball field, is located next to a municipal airfield so having the right type of lighting was critical in accordance with FAA requirements."
Musco's Control-Link® controls and monitoring service provides 24/7 call-center support, proactive system monitoring, and the ability to control stadium lights instantly, from anywhere with the touch of a phone. The addition of Musco's Show-Light™ entertainment packages has been trending around the association, displaying special effects, color-changing RGBW technology, and light-to-sound synchronization to leave fans and spectators in awe. In the beginning of March, Meridian (MS) implemented these components to its baseball and soccer fields.
"Musco is the best! The ease and efficiency with which they completed our project was amazing," said Sander Atkinson, Meridian (MS) Director of Athletics. "MCC chose the Show-Light Entertainment Package. Our fields look great while playing a game, but light shows really make an impact on everyone in attendance."
High-speed implementation and operation allow Musco's products to stand out among the rest. Its long-term warranty covers every part of the system and all labor, eliminating maintenance costs for customers for up to 25 years. As more teams' seasons get underway, student-athletes will be able to practice and play in state-of-the-art facilities across the country.
"Lighting is one of the most impactful facility elements and Musco's solutions give our member colleges a professional-level look to provide a premiere experience," stated Brian Luckett, NJCAA Vice President for External Affairs & Development. "We look forward to our colleges taking advantage of Musco's many offerings."
