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 Field Lighting FAQs
Can you light a multi-sport complex?
Yes. We design lighting for multi-sport complexes with separate controls for each field. This allows individual fields to be lit as needed, reducing energy costs when the full complex isn't in use.
How do you handle light pollution?
We use shielded fixtures, precise aiming, and photometric design to minimize spill light and glare beyond the field boundaries. This is important for facilities near residential areas and for compliance with local lighting ordinances.
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.
