What Goes Into a Successful Sports Field Lighting Design?

We evaluate pole locations, mounting heights, and create detailed photometric layouts to ensure proper light distribution. Each sport has unique requirements – football, baseball, softball, and soccer all need different approaches to achieve optimal uniformity ratios and eliminate dark spots.

What Are the Typical Sports Field Lighting Foot Candle Requirements?
Sports field lighting requirements vary significantly based on the sport and competition level. High school football typically needs 30-70 fc, while college televised games require 80-150 fc. Baseball fields have separate infield and outfield requirements, with recreational play needing 30 fc infield and college televised requiring up to 100 fc. Contact us for a custom lighting plan based on your specific field and usage needs.
Is There a Difference Between High School and College Sports Field Lighting Standards?
Yes, collegiate sports fields typically require 30-50% higher light levels than high school fields. College facilities often have larger spectator areas, televised broadcasts, and higher performance standards. Higher light levels improve player safety, enhance spectator experience, and meet broadcast quality requirements for televised games.

Why Do I Need a Professional Lighting Plan for My Sports Field?
A professional lighting plan ensures proper light distribution, eliminates costly installation mistakes, and meets local building codes. We provide detailed photometric analysis showing exact light levels, uniformity ratios, and fixture placement. This documentation is often required for permit approval and guarantees your field meets competition standards before installation begins.
How Much Can I Save on Energy Costs With LED Sports Field Lighting?
LED sports field lighting typically delivers 60-75% energy savings compared to metal halide systems. A typical high school football field can save $8,000-12,000 annually on electricity costs. LEDs also eliminate costly lamp replacements, with 50,000+ hour lifespans versus 3,000-5,000 hours for traditional lighting.
What Information Do You Need to Create My Sports Field Lighting Plan?
We need your field dimensions, sport type, competition level, and existing pole locations or electrical infrastructure details. Photos of the current setup and any specific requirements, like broadcast compatibility or multi-sport usage, help us create the most accurate design. Most lighting plans are completed within 3-5 business days after receiving this information.
How Does a Lighting Plan Help With My Buying Decision?
Our lighting plan shows exactly how many fixtures you need, their placement, and the resulting light levels across your field. This eliminates guesswork and prevents over-buying or under-lighting your facility. You’ll see precise ROI calculations, energy savings projections, and can compare different fixture options before making your investment.
