Challenges

The Ellet high school football and track stadium hosts many events throughout the year and were challenged by their unreliable, old sports lighting system. The 25+ year-old lighting system was costly, high maintenance, and the outdated metal halide technology is soon to be obsolete for replacement parts. Some lights were no longer performing to proper IES lighting standards for high school sports, while other lights were completely nonfunctional.

“Midstream lighting recently completed the upgrade of our lights to a LED system. The difference is very clear, brighter, instant on, and less energy usage, let alone the control available for lighting different events. Brad sets the bar for how communication should work with any company. Very pleased with our upgrade and the overall process”
