and the Dundee Township Park District to design and implement lighting for its fields featuring new

environmentally friendly LED Light Source technology. The league and park district will work with

Musco for a plan to get electrical power to the site, coordination with the utility power company, lighting

design and install. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The proposed cost-effective light placement design by Musco below offers the Randall Oaks

playing fields sufficient LED lighting with 13 total poles. Installation will be reduced

significantly utilizing internally sourced licensed volunteers and Musco approved contractors.

LED lighting will be practical, affordable, and environmentally friendly.

Although the Randall Oaks Recreational Center playing fields will not have to worry about

impacting any neighbors with lighting since the location is situated far away from

neighborhoods and businesses, the environmentally friendly LED lighting from Musco will

allow the league to light the fields, yet light nothing else around it.

Emitting light is easy. But LED fixtures that can’t effectively control the light being emitted

brings the unintended consequences of glare for players and neighbors, and wasteful spill into

the night sky. However, Musco’s Total Light Control-TLC for LED, allowed the firm to take LED

to a level of performance and precision never before seen in sports lighting. It means no

disruptive glare into nearby homes and the preservation of dark skies above. This new

innovation helped the league to decide that LED lights would be a great addition to the fields.
