How High Should You Mount LED Soccer Field Lighting Fixtures?

There is no one height we would recommend for soccer field lighting fixtures. But higher is better than lower. Higher mounting height also helps produce a glare free light. And closer to the field is better than far away. We have created lighting plans for many outdoor sports 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.

So while they can work, it’s not ideal as a long-term solution as a lighting system for soccer pitches.
