The Challenge
Years of Unreliable Stadium Lighting
When Guntersville City School officials installed LED lighting at their high school football stadium, they hoped the new lights would improve safety and enhance the player and fan experience. Unfortunately, said Superintendent Jason Barnett, “from the time we installed those, we had issues from day one.”
Lights at Chorba-Lee Stadium in Guntersville, Alabama, flickered unpredictably and went out. Dark spots affected visibility on the field. The manufacturer would not back its warranty parts and repairs.
After five years of frustration, the Wildcats decided to find a different manufacturer who could provide a true sports lighting upgrade at their facility.
The Solution
Musco’s TLC for LED® Lighting System
Barnett asked neighboring schools and nearby electrical contractors for sports lighting recommendations. They recommended Musco, a company that has specialized in sports lighting and technology for nearly 50 years.
Musco’s TLC for LED® lighting system, retrofitted onto the existing poles at Chorba-Lee Stadium, delivers:
- Better visibility with higher on-field light levels, more uniform illumination, and less glare for students and fans.
- Elevated game night experience with color-changing lights and custom-programmed light shows synchronized to music.
- Trouble-free operation with smartphone controls and instant on/off.
- Proactive maintenance alerts via Musco’s Control-Link® technology.
- Reliable service and support backed by a 25-year parts and labor warranty.
With Musco, the Wildcats have an LED sports lighting system that meets the district’s goals. Repairs are completed quickly—and often at no cost to the district—making Musco a dependable partner for the long term.
“For someone who’s looking for an upgrade to their sports lighting, I would tell them… When you look at several different brands, you’ll see that Musco stands above the pack.”
