1. South Warren Football Field Lighting Study Created By: SWMS Discovery Club

2. Summary The South Warren Athletic Complex’s football field lighting was analyzed to determine areas of the field that are poorly lit at night. Coordinates of light poles were recorded by manual GPS. Lighting angles were gathered using a combination of inclinometers for vertical angles and protractors for horizontal angles. Lighting area shown is an approximation based on light angles, the center of where the lights are aimed and observed light coverage.

12. Conclusion The South Warren Athletic Complex’s football field lighting is weakest toward the sidelines mid-field, and toward the back corners of the end zone. The lighting study seems to indicate that additional lights may not be necessary. –The lights shining toward the middle of the field could be repositioned to provide better lighting to the mid-field sidelines –The four lights shining toward the end of the field could be moved to provide better lighting for the end zone.
