Lighting the Slimins Athletic Training Center in North Louisburg, OH

Client Overview

The Slimins family embarked on a project to light their new athletic training center, located on their property in North Louisburg, OH. The facility was designed to be a multi-use space, with future plans to include an indoor batting cage and a golf simulator. To meet the diverse needs of the space, the Slimins family enlisted the services of Eagle Lighting, a Grove City, OH-based lighting contractor with a track record of successful commercial projects.

Project Goals

The Shawn Slimins had several key objectives for the lighting system:

1. Durability: The fixtures needed to withstand the rugged environment of a sports facility, where impact resistance and longevity were crucial.
2. Aesthetic Matching: The Slimins desired white fixtures to complement the facility’s white ceiling for a clean and cohesive appearance.
3. High Light Output: Given the planned inclusion of an indoor batting cage, the lighting system required high-output fixtures to ensure the space was bright enough for sports practice and training, even at the highest settings.
4. Dimming Capabilities: To accommodate a golf simulator in the future, the lights needed to be capable of dimming for flexible usage.

Solution

Eagle Lighting, led by Bob Morris, worked closely with the Slimins to identify the optimal lighting solution. They selected the HBRSR round high bay fixture from Cost Less Lighting, product number HBRSR, in white. This fixture met all of the project’s requirements, including high output for brightness, durability for a sports environment, and an all-white exterior to match the facility’s aesthetic.

Fixture Selection:

• Model: HBRSR round high bay fixture.
• Number of Fixtures: 12 units
• Mounting Height: 20 feet
• Color: White
• Lighting Capabilities:
  • High Lumens Output: Capable of producing bright, evenly distributed light to ensure excellent visibility across the facility, critical for activities like baseball batting.
  • Dimmability: The fixtures included dimming capabilities to adjust brightness levels for different activities, especially useful for a future golf simulator.

Testimonial

“We’ve used these fixtures on other projects with great success,” said Bob Morris of Eagle Lighting. “We enjoy working with Cost Less Lighting because we can easily get in contact with our account rep, who always works with us to identify just the right solution, stocked locally.”

Conclusion

The installation of the HBRSR fixtures has transformed the Slimins Athletic Training Center into a well-lit, versatile space that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The high bay lights ensure adequate brightness for sports training and future-proof the facility with dimming features for more relaxed activities, such as golf simulation. This project highlights the collaboration between the Slimins family, Eagle Lighting, and Cost Less Lighting to deliver a high-quality solution that meets the client’s needs both now and in the future.
