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
Track & Field Lighting costs depend on facility requirements:
- Number of fields and competition class
- LED vs. metal halide fixture selection
- Pole height and quantity

Track & Field Lighting FAQs
Can you light both the track and football field?
Yes. Most track facilities wrap around a football or multi-use field. We design pole placements and fixture configurations that serve both the track and infield, with separate controls so each can be used independently.
Do you light field event areas?
Yes. Long jump, triple jump, pole vault, shot put, discus, and javelin areas each have specific lighting requirements. We ensure these competition areas are properly illuminated for safe, fair competition and accurate officiating.
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.
