Q: What is a Lighting Layout for a Soccer Field?

A lighting layout for a soccer field is a software-generated lighting report that models the physical layout of indoor or outdoor soccer fields. For outdoor fields, it uses existing pole locations or suggests new ones, showing light locations with aiming points and both foot candle readings and light balance across the field. For indoor soccer fields, it displays roof-mounted light locations and provides the same light levels and balance readings based on fixture placement.

Q: What are the Lighting Requirements for Soccer Fields?

Lighting requirements depend on the level of competition and field usage. College soccer standards require brighter illumination than recreational community fields, following similar requirements to football fields: Recreational: 5-20 foot candles Middle School: 20-30 foot candles Small High School: 20-40 foot candles Larger High School: 40-50 foot candles College or Competition Level: 60-120 foot candles

Q: What LED Light Fixtures are Available to Provide Adequate Lighting?

We offer high-power LED fixtures specifically designed for soccer fields that deliver superior lumen output and lighting uniformity. Our sports lighting systems have successfully illuminated baseball, softball, and football fields, with LED fixtures capable of replacing up to 2000 Watt Metal Halide fixtures while providing better performance.

Q: How Much Does a Professional Soccer Field Lighting Plan Cost?

We provide complementary professional lighting plans that others provide, ranging from $500 to $2,000, depending on field complexity and requirements. Our detailed lighting layouts include fixture specifications , mounting locations, aiming points, and photometric analysis. A lighting plan ensures optimal performance and helps avoid costly installation mistakes that can exceed budget costs.

Q: Why Do I Need a Lighting Plan Before Purchasing Fixtures?

A lighting plan prevents costly mistakes by ensuring proper fixture selection and placement before installation. It provides exact light level calculations , identifies optimal pole locations, and guarantees uniform illumination. Without a plan, you risk inadequate lighting, poor uniformity, or purchasing incorrect fixture quantities , leading to expensive retrofits.

Q: How Long Does It Take to Create a Soccer Field Lighting Design?

We typically complete soccer field lighting designs within 3-5 business days after receiving field dimensions and requirements. Complex projects with multiple fields or unique mounting challenges may take up to 7-10 business days .

Q: Can You Design Lighting for Multi-Use Soccer Fields?

Yes, we specialize in multi-use field lighting that accommodates soccer, football, lacrosse, and other sports on the same surface. Our designs ensure adequate illumination for multiple sports while optimizing fixture placement for maximum versatility. We create lighting zones that can be controlled separately for different activities and energy savings during partial field use.
