Abstract: An athletic field lighting system, wherein fixtures are provided in clusters. Each cluster can be turned, on and set to a nominal output level. Thereafter, individual fixture output intensity levels are adjusted by means of feedback loops containing a photosensor mounted in the back of the reflector of each fixture and a pole-mounted logic center which compares commanded and actual output intensities and produces an error signal capable of producing small increments of adjustment by way of dimmer packs associated with individual fixtures. A short, range radio link is provided between an athletic field command center and each of the individual pole-mounted logic systems. A remote link between, a remote control center and the field located control center may be provided as desired.
