Project Profile

Northwood High School sought more than just visibility for its 2,000-seat stadium; they wanted a community showcase. ATG Lighting replaced an aging HID system with a professional-grade LED solution that offers elite light quality and a dynamic, interactive atmosphere for spectators.

The Challenges & Background

The school's existing lighting faced two major hurdles:

Poor Visibility

Inconsistent illumination and high glare compromised athlete safety.

Zero Engagement

The old system offered only a simple on/off function, providing no way to celebrate scores or host dynamic events.

The Solution

ATG Lighting deployed the Ultra SP8 Series—a powerhouse in sports lighting—integrated with full color-changing capability.

Key features include:

Precision Optics

Utilizing 20° and 30° beam angles to maximize field uniformity while minimizing light spill.

RGB Dynamic Scenes

Integrated DMX/RGB Controls

The project required not just illuminating the game, but engaging the audience.

Results & Financial Impact

The performance metrics achieved post-installation significantly exceeded industry standards:

The system debuted to rave reviews. Beyond safety, the lighting has become a part of the game-day strategy, boosting school spirit through synchronized light shows. Jason Kozina Said That When Northwood scored its first touchdown, the lights shifted to our school color—blue. The crowd went wild. It completely transformed the atmosphere.
