INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (April 24, 2023) — The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) and Ephesus Sports Lighting have extended their corporate partnership for an additional three years. Ephesus, a brand within Cooper Lighting Solutions that specializes in digital sports lighting systems, is the “Preferred Sports Lighting Provider of the NFHS.”
Ever since Ephesus illuminated the first sports arena with LED lighting more than a decade ago, thousands of municipal and high school fields across North America have made the switch to digital sports lighting. It is committed to offering the right solution for every venue and offers solutions designed to evolve along with a facility’s needs.
“We are thrilled to continue our relationship with such a highly regarded national industry leader such as Ephesus,” said Dr. Karissa Niehoff, NFHS CEO. “Ephesus has proven to be on the cutting edge of sports lighting systems, and we’re excited to help it make the greatest possible impact at the high school level.”
With advanced systems like Lumadapt 8, Ephesus clients can even update their systems remotely, adding new features and functionality over time. These types of capabilities are why Ephesus’ full line of sports lighting products have been recognized for innovative design, superior efficiency, longer life, and better performance.
“We are excited to extend our partnership with NFHS as its Official Sports Lighting Partner through 2026,” said Mike Quijano, Director of Marketing and Business Development for Ephesus Sports Lighting. “As the industry leader in designing state-of-the-art LED sports lighting solutions for high school sports facilities of all sizes, and a trusted partner of the NFHS, we take seriously our responsibility to set the standard in sports lighting and help educate the high school sports community on the ever-changing and stringent demands of sports lighting. In turn, the ability to connect directly with high school athletic directors and facility operators through the NFHS helps us continue to evolve our products and processes and address their needs.”
