Frequently Asked Questions About Sports Lighting
The most commonly asked questions we receive about sports lighting design, installation and operation can be found below! If you don’t see your questions, please contact us and we will be happy to answer any additional questions you have.
What are “standard“ light levels for each type of sporting venue?
The Illumination Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) issues standards for recommended light levels for all types of fields. The light levels and pole mounting heights vary depending on many variables, which include the number of spectators, pole locations, size of field, and video streaming desires.
Are there other regulations or environmental lighting requirements?
Many cities, towns and municipalities have specific spill and glare control requirements for new lighting. Huadian Sports Lighting works directly with you to insure that all regulations and local requirements are met.
What about neighborhood fields that might be affected by spill light or glare?
Huadian Sports Lighting offers a variety of products and methods to control this unwanted light. We have a solution for light polution!
This seems overwhelming! How can I be sure we meet all the requirements?

What factors affect the cost of a sports lighting project?
Factors affecting the cost of a project can include competition level (i.e. Little League play vs professional stadium), field dimensions, audience size, soil conditions, project location, spill or glare concerns, pole proximity and wind speed conditions.
Do you have financing options available?
YES. We offer very competitive financing for both public and private organizations. In some cases, the energy and maintenance savings can cover the cost of the payment.

Utilizing state contract purchasing offers more than just pricing benefits. Not only do you guarantee the best pricing, you bypass lengthy bid processes!

-Existing infrastructure conditions

-Site access and construction cost
Your Huadian sports lighting team will discuss the options for your unique project and guide you to the best solution.
How quickly can I receive a quote for my project? What do I need to provide Techline in order to receive a quote.
Typically, you will receive a quote within 24-48 hours once we receive the information regarding your project. Knowing the name and location of a project is a great start, but the more information we have the better we can estimate the cost of your project and get that quote out to you.
A quote requires knowing the field type, field size, light level requirements, and the type of installation you desire for your unique project.
What services does Huadian lighting provide? Can we use our local electrician to wire the lights?
You have options! We can supply the pre-wired sports lighting system material only, material plus pole erection including the foundation and complete pole and fixture installation, or total turnkey installation including tall electrical service in addition to the installed sports lighting system.
What is the typical turnaround time for a job that has been purchased?
Depending on your needs and the size of your project, Huadian Sports Lighting can deliver and install our complete custom sports lighting system in as little as 3-4 weeks.
The industry standard fixture seems to be round, why are your fixtures rectangular?
Our stadium light fixture is designed to optimize lighting quality on the field while limiting “light trespass” or “spill light” on surrounding properties. Your choice is the most innovative lighting
