Seminole County Sports Complex

When Seminole County started planning a new $30 million sports complex, officials envisioned a premier facility for regional tournaments that would provide an unparalleled atmosphere for athletes and spectators. Having lit several facilities in Seminole County, Musco was chosen as a trusted partner to accomplish the county’s goals.

One challenge in lighting the facility was its close proximity to the Orlando-Sanford International Airport and a residential neighborhood. It was critical to provide the highest quality light on the fields without adding sky-glow or spilling light into the neighborhood.

Musco’s Light-Structure Green™ LED system surpassed those expectations and dramatically improves visibility for players on the field. Other key benefits include:

• Energy Efficiency – The system cuts energy consumption by 64 percent compared to typical 1500-watt metal halide equipment
• Visibility – Musco’s patent-pending system for light management enhances the players’ ability to track the flight of the ball
• Light Control – Advanced optics around the LED light source significantly cut glare, spill, and skyglow for athletes, spectators, and the surrounding area
• Maintenance – A 10-year parts and labor warranty eliminates maintenance costs for the next decade
• Reliability – It’s a complete system that includes structural, electrical, and lighting components, offering cost-effective installation and reliable operation
• Facility Management – Musco’s Control-Link® system provides remote scheduling of the lighting system from anywhere with a smartphone app, 24/7 call center, and an easy-to-use web site

The system is expected to save Seminole County over $1 million in operating expenses over the next decade.
