Soccer Field Lighting Equipment

Easy Rack is a single source depot for soccer field lights, equipment, and poles and mounting arms needed to optimize the visibility of the game itself and keep your field or stadium in full compliance with foot-candle regulatory codes mandated to ensure player safety and reduce light pollution.

The foot candle is the standard of measurement for all athletic sports field lighting equipment. One foot candle is equal to one lumen spread over one square foot of cubic space. Outdoor lighting fixtures and accessories ranging from parking lot lights to sports and security lighting are controlled by government regulations that specify foot-candle minimums. Because foot candles require special equipment to measure, Easy Rack strongly recommends you consult with a lighting specialist who has this equipment in order to ensure your soccer field lights meet with municipal lighting codes and the recommendations of the US Soccer Foundation. Since so many soccer games are played at night, it is necessary to safeguard player safety by having a professional calculate the level of foot candles needed for the size of the field and the number of spectators.

Also, keep in mind that lighting a professional soccer field requires a much greater level of illumination than lighting a recreational field. For instance, if you intend to light a soccer field that is used only for practice without spectators, a field that measures 180’ X 330’ will usually only require 30 foot candles of light. A professional soccer stadium, by contrast, will need more than twice the lighting- approximately 75 foot-candles.

Another factor that is very important to efficient soccer field lighting is precise determination of equipment voltage levels. Fixtures with multi-tap ballasts provide the greatest flexibility for soccer field lighting. Easy Rack sports lights are configured with multi-tap ballasts that produce 120, 208, 240, and 277 volts respectively. We also supply models that are fitted with 480-volt ballast for full-sized professional stadiums.

It is important to work with an Easy Rack specialist who can help you determine the appropriate voltage level for your facility and match the lamp to the ballast. High voltage commercial lighting equipment can be dangerous if guesswork if you substitute guesswork for sound math and engineering advice.

Finally, the material build and height of soccer field lighting poles is a crucial factor in generating optimal illumination for your practice field or stadium. US Soccer Foundation recommendations state that the best poles are made from galvanized steel. You can obtain these outdoor light poles from Easy Rack in a variety of heights and models, and you can also obtain all appropriate mounting accessories, including right angle cross arms that will hold two soccer field lighting fixtures on a single pole.

When properly fitted and ballasted, Easy Rack soccer field lights will also make the game more enjoyable for spectators and reduce potential nuisance to surrounding housing developments. Our metal halide fixtures are equipped with advanced reflector arrays that direct the light toward desired locations along the field and eliminate light pollution that otherwise could shine into the windows of sleeping, next door neighbors. This not only makes the game more enjoyable to people who visit your arena, but it also will minimize neighborhood complaints from those who will certainly be annoyed if your soccer field or parking lot light kits shine into their windows.
