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
Soccer Field 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

Soccer Field Lighting FAQs
What light levels do soccer fields need?
IES RP-6 recommends 20-30 fc for recreational soccer, 30-50 fc for high school, and 50-75 fc for collegiate play. The large field size (nearly 2 acres) requires careful pole placement and fixture selection to achieve uniform illumination.
Can soccer field lights also work for lacrosse?
Yes. Soccer and lacrosse fields have similar dimensions, and lighting designed for soccer typically meets or exceeds lacrosse requirements. We can design for multi-sport use with appropriate light levels for all intended activities.
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.
