What are LED Lighting Supply Track and Field Lights?

Our High-power LED track and field lights are pole-mounted outdoor sport lighting fixtures designed to produce powerful and bright lighting for sports facilities. They can be aimed at sections or areas of the running track. These are similar lights we use a lot to light up baseball/softball fields, soccer fields, and football fields.

If you currently have metal halide lighting, they can easily replace those fixtures one for one with our LED sports lighting solutions while dramatically reducing your energy consumption. Multiple optic packages allow us to select the best lighting for your running track  - no need for one size fits all.

High Power LED stadium lights can easily replace metal halide lights used on track and fields. They produce high lumen – high-quality lighting. They turn on instantly and are virtually maintenance-free. The most powerful light we offer is up to 180,000 lumens.

Voltage options range from 100 - 277 Volts or 277 - 480 Volts. The best color temperature for a track sports venue is 5000K. 4000K would be a second choice if you're looking for a warmer light.

How to Select the Proper LED Track and Field Lighting Solution

There are various safety and performance components to consider when selecting the proper LED lighting solution for your track and field facility. Our selection of LED track and field lights and light poles are constructed to provide ample light coverage efficiently while ensuring player safety on the field. Dive into the top 4 considerations when selecting a lighting solution for your playing field.

1. Lighting Level Requirements: Determine the illumination requirements of your sports field project to provide uniform light coverage for athletes based on their level of play. Our Product Specialists understand project requirements and can engineer a free custom lighting plan ahead of purchase to recommend the proper light fixture and light pole solution.
2. Existing Pole Considerations: Identify the existing pole locations in your track and field facility. LED Lighting Supply’s Product Specialists can help determine if your project requires pole replacements or additional poles to support light coverage requirements. Get a free pole quote here.
3. Fixture Mounting Height: Determine light fixture mounting height requirements to improve the visibility of players and sideliners. If there are no pre-existing light poles in your track and field facility, our Product Specialists will recommend the appropriate mounting height alongside a proper light pole solution to meet the needs of your playing field.
4. Existing Lighting Layout: If an existing lighting layout exists in your track and field facility, consider the current light fixture positioning, how the fixtures are mounted to the light pole, the number of fixtures installed on each light pole, and the maximum fixture weight each pole can support. Our Product Specialists will engineer an adaptive plan to utilize the existing light pole and light fixture positioning. This approach provides installation ease and contributes to overall project cost savings.

LED Lighting Supply’s full-line track and field lights and light poles allow sports facility managers to balance safety, performance, and efficiency while reducing operational costs so athletes can focus on reaching their next goal.

LED Lights for Track and Field Sports Lighting FAQs

How Many LED Lumens Are Needed to Light up a Running Track or Outdoor Track and Field Facility?

Our largest LED Sports Light light is capable of producing 176,000 lumens. This is more than enough to replace 2000 Watts metal-halide fixtures. An outdoor sports field lighting plan will determine the right amount of lumens required for your needs.

We offer LED Sports Field Lights that replace 1000 Watt Metal Halide, 1500 Watt Metal Halide, and even 2000 Watt Metal Halide.

What is the Best Height to Install LED Lights for an Outdoor Running Track Field?

We have found poles used for school and recreational running tracks and track and field facilities range from 30 to 60 feet in height. And up to 100 feet for college. Our lighting software can model installing lights at these heights. Based on experience, we learned that it is easier to light up a sports field with taller poles using sports lighting.

What's the Best Way How to Reduce Glare from LED Lighting?

Shielding is one option. Top shields also help to keep the lights from polluting the night sky. Secondly, the higher the lights are mounted, the less glare the athletes and spectators have to deal with.

How Easy Is it to Install LED Lighting at a Running Track?

It all depends on where they’re installed and how easy it is to access the lights. High pole mounts are harder to install on a catwalk near the top of a stadium. Make sure you are working with a professional licensed electrician.

Our family of powerful floodlights is our best-selling stadium lights. These are available in 200W, 400W, 600W, 800W and 1200W.

What are the Lighting Guidelines for Outdoor Running Tracks?

The guideline has more to do with light levels or foot candles on the field, than the number of lights. If you have a target light level then you will have to add lights to achieve that level. A lighting design and lighting plan will show you how to achieve your light levels, and calculate the number of fixtures you’ll need to achieve those light levels.

What is the Cost of LED Track and Field Lighting?

The best way to answer this question is to try and calculate the savings when you convert to LED Lights. You should be able to save at least 50% and up to 75% on your utility lighting bill when you convert.
