Expert Tips: How to Choose the Best Sports Lighting Fixture for Your Project

LED Sports Lighting Plans & Considerations

Why a Sports Lighting Plan is Essential

Proper sports lighting is critical for visibility, player safety, and game performance. Without a well-designed lighting plan, fields may suffer from shadows, uneven illumination, or insufficient brightness, negatively impacting both the playing experience and spectator visibility.

Key Considerations for Sports Lighting

  • Level of Play
    • Recreational, high school, collegiate, and professional sports require different foot-candle levels
  • Existing Lighting Setup
    • Evaluating current fixture wattage, placement, and light levels
    • Determining whether the existing lighting is sufficient or needs improvement
  • Pole Placement & Fixture Count
    • Assessing how many poles are present or needed
    • Recommending the right number of fixtures per pole for uniform coverage
