Sports Pitch Floodlighting

VeeLite, as a Sports Lighting Specialist, assist with the Planning as well as the supply of the Lighting equipment. This is typically Sports Pitch Floodlighting for Football Clubs, such as Rugby, Soccer, Hockey etc, but also Tennis Clubs, Golf Ranges, etc. We also supply lighting for Internal Sports Arenas such as Swimming Pools, Basketball Courts, etc.

Initially, we typically prepare a Lighting Design (Proposal with Technical drawings) which will show the Light Levels to be achieved and other information. This Design can be used to seek planning permission, a usual requirement for new Projects. There is generally no cost for preparing this design and it can usually be supplied within a few days. VeeLite do not Install so a Local Contractor will be needed for this (often found among Club membership).

Astro turf pitch floodlights

Sports Pitch Floodlighting generally involves installation of Lighting Poles located along the 2 Lengths of the Pitch. These lighting Poles typically vary from 8M to 24M high depending on the size of the Pitch (Length x Width) and the lighting requirements – Training or Competition level.

Whilst there are general lighting guidelines specified by regulatory Organisations such as CIBSE, which specify how much light is needed for each Sport, individual Sports Organisations will often specify their own requirements.

For convenience, we have included these Guidelines below. We also include below some typical Training Level Lighting Designs.
