Musco Lighting is an American privately owned company, based out of Oskaloosa, Iowa, that is noted for providing permanent or temporary lighting at major sports events and stadiums including the Super Bowl and Olympics.

The company was started in 1976 by Joe Crookham and Myron Gordin. Together they bought the Muscatine Lighting Manufacturing Co. in Muscatine, Iowa.〔(Musco plans $15 million expansion - Lighting company’s employment could triple in Oskaloosa -Associated Press - August 24, 2006 )〕〔(Iowa Supreme Court Cases - September 23, 1998 - findlaw.com )〕
In 1977 it began marketing its newly created Sportscluster which it says was the first factory-assembled and factory-wired light cluster (previously lights in stadiums et al. had to be assembled one at a time).
In 1979 it improved the lighting process by adding aiming components at the factory and then locating serviceable electrical components in an enclosure near the base of the light pole.
In 1981 it launched Musco Mobile Lighting with the Musco Light in which lighting fixtures were erected from trucks. Among its first client was the first night game at Notre Dame Stadium.〔(A History of Innovation - Retrieved December 11, 2007 )〕
In 1983 it lit its first Super Bowl, provided lighting for Space Shuttle launches at Vandenberg Air Force Base, the filming of ''All the Right Moves''.
In 1984 it was the official light supplier for the 1984 Olympic Games.
In 1986 Myron Gordin, Joe P. Crookham, Jim Drost and David Crookham received a scientific and engineering award during the 58th Academy Awards for "the invention of a method of transporting adjustable, high-intensity Luminaires and their application to the motion picture."〔http://imdb.com/Sections/Years/1985/academy-awards Academy Awards, USA: 1986〕
In 1988 several light trucks lit Richmond International Raceway.
In 1991, Charlotte Motor Speedway owner Bruton Smith and then track president H.A. "Humpy" Wheeler approached Musco with the challenge of illuminating the 1.5-mile track for the 1992 Winston, promoted as "one hot night". Without using traditional poles that would obstruct the sight lines of the spectators, especially those camping in the track's infield, Musco designed a system where light from the 1200 permanent fixtures were lower to the ground, using reflectors that did not blind either the drivers or the fans. The company took on the $1.7 million project at cost, parlaying it into a demonstration for the organizers of the 1996 Atlanta Summer Olympics.〔http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/specialsection/miller/getin2it/story?id=2943481〕〔http://espn.go.com/racing/nascar/cup/story/_/id/7942377/nascar-1992-all-star-race-lights-nascar〕〔http://goodleddownlight.seesaa.net/article/268440263.html〕

In 2007 it provided the lighting for the Losail International Circuit, the largest permanent outdoor sports lighting project in the world. It also donated $12 million to William Penn University in Oskaloosa to build 200,000 feet of new structures.
