Project Overview
Canlan Lake Barrington is a large indoor sports and recreation complex in Lake Barrington, Illinois. The facility supports a wide range of activities, including soccer, basketball, volleyball, fitness, tournaments, community events, and other multi-sport programming.
Radiance Energy was selected to modernize lighting throughout the facility, including interior sports areas, multiple facility levels, and exterior lighting. The project focused on reducing energy consumption, improving lighting quality, and creating a more efficient system for a high-use recreational environment.
The Challenge
The facility relied on outdated lighting systems that consumed excessive energy and created high operating costs.
Canlan needed a cost-effective lighting solution that could support large athletic spaces, improve visibility, and deliver both immediate and long-term savings without compromising performance across the facility.
The Solution
Radiance Energy implemented a high-performance LED lighting upgrade combined with an advanced wireless lighting control system.
The new system improved lighting efficiency and aesthetics while giving the facility greater control over lighting operation across multiple spaces. The retrofit was designed to reduce electricity consumption, lower operating costs, and support long-term facility performance.

- 83% energy savings
- 712,072 kWh annual energy savings
- $46,285 in annual savings
- 3.8-year ROI
- $404,029 projected cumulative savings over 10 years
- Improved lighting aesthetics and visibility
- Wireless lighting controls for improved energy management
Smarter Lighting for a High-Use Sports Complex
Sports facilities operate across long hours and multiple activity zones, making lighting one of the most significant opportunities for reducing energy use.
At Canlan Lake Barrington, the combination of high-efficiency LED fixtures and wireless controls allowed the facility to improve lighting performance while substantially lowering energy costs. The result was a more efficient system designed around the changing needs of a busy multi-sport environment.
