Athletic Field Lighting
Athletic Fields of America designs and installs lighting systems for athletic fields, parking areas, and walkways across the Northeast. Proper lighting extends your facility’s usable hours, makes night games possible, and keeps athletes and spectators safe — and we engineer every system to meet the foot-candle requirements for the sport, the lighting ordinances for the municipality, and the budget for the project.
What We Install
Our lighting projects typically include:
- LED sports lighting systems — engineered for football, soccer, baseball, softball, lacrosse, field hockey, track, and multi-sport facilities
- Pole structures and foundations — 60-foot to 100-foot poles sized for the field and sport
- Lighting control systems — programmable schedules, remote on/off, dimming, and event-based controls
- Spill light and glare control — optics and shielding engineered to keep light on the field and off neighboring properties
- Parking lot and walkway lighting — for safe spectator and athlete access
- Conduit, wiring, panels, and electrical service — full electrical scope from utility tie-in to fixture
Engineered for the Sport
Different sports need different lighting. Football and soccer need broad, even coverage across the full field. Baseball needs infield brightness with proper coverage to the outfield walls. Tennis and pickleball need glare-controlled lighting for fast-moving balls. We design lighting layouts to meet the foot-candle requirements for the sport and the level of competition — varsity, college, or recreational.
LED has become the standard for athletic field lighting, and for good reason — lower energy cost, longer fixture life, instant on/off, programmable controls, and dramatically better light quality than the metal halide systems they replace.
Designed for Neighboring Properties
Many athletic field lighting projects get held up — or shut down — because of neighbor complaints about light spill, glare, and sky glow. We design every system with that in mind. Optics, shielding, mounting heights, and aiming angles are engineered to keep light on the field and away from adjacent homes, roads, and properties. We help facilities navigate local lighting ordinances and dark-sky requirements where they apply.
Decorative & Landscape Lighting
Complete your outdoor space with decorative lighting designed to enhance both beauty and functionality. We install pathway lights, lamp posts, landscape lighting, and accent fixtures that improve visibility while adding elegance and charm to your property.
