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
Outdoor Sports Complex Lighting costs depend on facility requirements:
- Number of fields and competition class

Outdoor Sports Complex Lighting FAQs
Can you design for future expansion?
Yes. We design electrical infrastructure that accommodates future field additions. Oversizing the main electrical service and running spare conduit during initial construction saves significant cost compared to adding capacity later.
How do you control individual fields?
We install centralized lighting control systems that allow each field to be controlled independently — turned on, off, or dimmed from a central panel, mobile app, or timer schedule. This prevents all fields from running when only one is in use.
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.
