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.

Stadium Lighting Design & Installation FAQs
What IES lighting levels do you design to?
We design to IES RP-6 standards which specify different light levels based on competition class: Class IV (recreational), Class III (high school), Class II (collegiate), and Class I (professional/broadcast). We verify designs with photometric software before installation.
Do you install the poles and foundations?
Yes. We handle the complete installation including pole foundations, steel poles, fixture mounting, wiring, and final aiming. We coordinate civil work for foundations and handle all electrical infrastructure.
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.
