Our Sports Lighting Process
Site Survey & Design
We survey your facility, identify the competition class needed, and produce photometric designs that verify light levels and uniformity before installation.
Engineering & Procurement
We engineer pole foundations, specify fixtures, and handle equipment procurement. Sports lighting has long lead times — we plan accordingly.
Installation
Our crews install foundations, erect poles, mount and wire fixtures, and install control systems. We handle all electrical infrastructure.
Aiming & Verification
We aim every fixture per the photometric design, then verify light levels on the field with a light meter. You get the lighting performance we promised.
Sports Lighting Cost Factors
Arena & Event Venue Lighting costs depend on facility requirements:
- Number of fields and competition class
- LED vs. metal halide fixture selection
- Pole height and quantity
- Existing electrical infrastructure
- Foundation and soil conditions
- Controls and scheduling requirements

Arena & Event Venue Lighting FAQs
Can arena lighting serve both sports and concerts?
Yes. We design multi-purpose lighting systems with separate circuits and controls for sports lighting, house lighting, and stage/event lighting. DMX control systems allow dramatic lighting effects for concerts while maintaining bright, uniform lighting for sports.
Do you work at Louisville venues?
Yes. We've performed electrical and lighting work at Louisville entertainment and sports venues, including Freedom Hall. We understand the unique demands of large venue operations, scheduling, and safety requirements.
How long does sports lighting installation take?
A single field typically takes 2-4 weeks from pole installation through final aiming. Multi-field complexes take 4-12 weeks depending on the number of fields. We coordinate around your playing season to minimize disruption.
Do you provide maintenance for sports lighting?
Yes. We offer maintenance programs that include periodic inspection, fixture cleaning, re-aiming, and lamp/driver replacement as needed. LED systems require far less maintenance than metal halide — typically just periodic cleaning and inspection.
