Sports lighting systems can be cost-effective and environmentally sensitive
Planners and administrators of recreational facilities are often faced with the challenge of balancing
the needs of their clients and the needs of their communities. This is most apparent when a lighted sports
facility must meet community expectations of a good neighbor yet provide a cost-effective and superior
playing experience for participants.
Lighting technology now allows both concerns to be addressed in
a cost-effective manner. Learn more about how effective light control impacts:

Community-friendly facilities
Choose sports lighting systems that redirect wasted spill light, satisfy neighbors,
and protect the night sky
Communities continue to grow and require recreational opportunities. Lighting existing fields offers
additional playing time for a fraction of the cost of developing new land. You want your lighted facility
to be a community asset, not a liability, now and for years to come.
Three keys essential to community approval of sports lighting are:
- Keeping light on the field and away from neighboring properties (
spill light)
-
Restricting light source visibility to comfortable levels (glare)
- Maintaining the natural beauty of the night sky and stars (sky glow
)

Playability and Safety
Specify measurable performance for the control of light both on and off of the field. Seek
written guarantees and on-site performance tests
You want to assure a superior playing experience for the people who use your facility. To do this,
you’ll need to provide the appropriate quantity (light levels) and quality (uniformity) of light
on the playing surface. Both of these are important to a safe, well-lighted facility.
Lighting systems vary in their ability to control light on and off the field, with one usually sacrificed
for the other. Look for a system which meets your spill and glare needs as well as provides a superior
on-field experience for your players.

Cost Effectiveness

a sports lighting system
You’re going to use your sports lighting system for years to come. Decisions you make today will affect your
budget and operating costs for the next 20 years.
The more efficient the lighting system you choose, the fewer costs you will incur over the life of the system.
