After
This project included replacing the light fixtures, as well as the control system. We replaced 392 (1000 watt) light fixtures with 128 (1500 watt) light fixtures made here in Iowa. This reduced the connected power load from 392,000 watts to 192,000 watts. Not only did this project save considerable energy, it also improved the illumination of the field. With the new control system, the users can select lighting levels to match activity requirements. The estimated annual savings is $24,000 (FY11 rates).
