Seeing the Light
Knox County School District upgrades lighting system for 45 venues
By Wesley Sykes, Managing Editor
A
nytime we had an event, we had a lot
of excess lighting where our school
is nestled into a neighborhood area, "
Rob Speas, Hardin Valley Academy principal
said. " That really created issues for some of the
neighboring families. "
When upgrading your athletic facility and
outfitting your stadiums with new lighting,
it's important to be mindful of your neighbors.
" We had a parent bring his kids in their
pajamas to us one game saying, 'My kids can't
sleep,' " Speas said.
And that was just one issue in one field for
the Knox County School District in Tennessee.
The district had a lofty goal of upgrading
its lighting capabilities at 45 fields for 14
different schools.
While the project presented unique
challenges at each venue, the final product
resulted in a unique experience for studentathletes
and fans alike.
" I think it has completely changed the fan
experience for those people that attend
our games, " Dr. Andrew Brown, Central
High School principal said. " If it's a Friday
night football game, it allows them to see
the people on the field clearly and have the
unique experience of getting the opportunity
to see this from different lenses. Obviously,
as a principal, it's great to see your facilities

upgraded. It's great to see your students have
state-of-the-art technology and, what I would
consider, better than what a lot of colleges
have. That's exciting, not only as a principal
but also as a parent because my kid gets to
experience that. "
With industry-leading technology to
fight sky glow and light pollution in nearby
neighborhoods, the updated lighting system
at Knox County schools not only meets current
lighting standards but also the future.
Total fixtures were more than 1900 and the
total wattage is about 1.25 million. Based upon
typical jobs it's a 60% reduction in wattage - so
the previous lights were probably around more
than 2 million watts. This energy savings will
practically pay for the lights. The fixtures used
were the Ephesus Lumasport 8 (640 watts
each) - all of the football fields also had the
Prism RGBA fixtures for colorful entertainment.
