LED Soccer Field Lights

How High Should You Mount LED Soccer Field Lights?

There is no one height we would recommend. But higher is better than lower. And closer to the field is better than far away. We have created lighting plans for many outdoor sport fields. And the pole heights have ranged between 30 feet and 75 feet.

Do Portable Lights Work Well for Soccer Fields?

They can. But they could be a source of glare if the source of light is not high enough. Understanding how these LED Soccer Field Lights work, how each light needs to be aimed, creates a level of set up that is different from a fixed light source on a pole. So while they can work, it’s not ideal as a long term solution.
