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.

High School Athletic Lighting FAQs
Can LED sports lighting fit a school budget?
Yes. LED sports lighting costs more upfront than metal halide but saves 50-70% on energy and eliminates frequent lamp replacements. Performance contracting can fund the project through guaranteed energy savings — no impact on the capital budget.
Do you design to high school competition standards?
Yes. We design to IES RP-6 Class III standards, which specify the light levels, uniformity, and glare limits required for high school varsity competition. This ensures safe, fair play and an enjoyable spectator experience.
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.
