School campuses include classrooms, offices, hallways, libraries, auditoriums, gyms, athletic fields, parking areas, and building exteriors. Each space has a different job to do, and the lighting plan needs to account for that use.
WLS helps schools plan lighting upgrades that support visibility, safety, facility operations, and long-term maintenance planning. Work can be phased across classrooms, large spaces, parking areas, and exterior zones to fit the school calendar and the needs of the campus.
Lighting for learning spaces
Classrooms and offices often call for a CRI of 80 or higher. Color temperature and fixture selection can be considered alongside the use of the space, the time of day, and the experience the school wants for students and staff.
Gymnasiums, natatoriums, athletic fields, parking areas, and building exteriors have different demands. WLS can help coordinate the interior and exterior lighting scope so the campus is treated as one operating environment.
Financing for Texas schools
Eligible public school districts and public institutions of higher education may be able to consider the Texas LoanSTAR program for energy-efficiency upgrade projects. The current WLS financing page summarizes the 2026 notice and points to the official Texas Comptroller information.

Program eligibility, funding availability, deadlines, and application requirements can change. Confirm current details with SECO before planning around the program.
