Athletic facility lighting has evolved significantly over the past decade, and selecting the right LED solution is no longer a one-size-fits-all decision. This session is designed to help school districts and public entities better understand how to evaluate LED athletic lighting upgrades based on facility type, sport, performance requirements, and long-term operational goals. We will walk through key considerations such as light levels and uniformity, glare control, pole and infrastructure reuse, controls and dimming options, maintenance expectations, and total cost of ownership. Attendees will gain practical insight into how to compare LED solutions, avoid common pitfalls, and determine the most effective and compliant lighting approach for football fields, tracks, baseball and softball fields, and multi-use athletic facilities. The presentation will be approximately 40 minutes, followed by a live Q&A.
