Sports lighting plays a vital role in enhancing the visibility, safety, and overall experience of athletes and spectators alike. When it comes to replacing sports lighting systems, proper planning and execution are crucial to ensure a successful outcome. Herein we AGC lighting will provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to finish a sports lighting replacement project, starting from the initial simulation phase all the way through to the final installation.
Assessment and Simulation
Evaluate the current lighting system, taking into key factors such as lighting levels, uniformity, energy efficiency, and maintenance requirements.
Determine the specific objectives of the lighting replacement project, such as improving illumination quality, reducing energy consumption, or complying with new regulations.
Utilize AGI32 or Dialux to create a virtual model of the sports facility and simulate various lighting scenarios. This will help you determine the optimal placement of fixtures, lighting levels, and uniformity across the playing area. Please remember that at AGC, we provide free and professional lighting calculations service.
Design and Specification
Based on the simulation results, choose lighting fixtures that meet the desired lighting requirements, considering factors such as wattage, lumen output, beam angle, color temperature, and durability.
Develop a detailed lighting layout plan that outlines the number and positioning of fixtures, aiming to achieve even illumination and minimize shadows.
Collaborate with electrical engineers to design an electrical system that can handle the power requirements of the new lighting fixtures, including wiring, circuitry, and control mechanisms.
Ensure compliance with local regulations and obtain any required permits or approvals before proceeding with the installation.

Installation and Testing
Hire a skilled team of electricians, technicians, and contractors with experience in sports lighting installations.
Follow the lighting layout plan and manufacturer's instructions to mount and wire the sport lights, ensuring proper alignment and secure installation.
Work in collaboration with the electrical team to connect the lighting fixtures to the electrical system, including power supply, control panels, and any necessary automation or dimming features.
Thoroughly test the newly installed lighting system, ensuring that all fixtures are functioning correctly, and lighting levels and uniformity meet the desired standards. Make any necessary adjustments or fine-tuning to achieve optimal results.
Documentation and Maintenance
Prepare comprehensive documentation that includes the final lighting layout, electrical schematics, product specifications, and any modifications made during installation.
Gather and distribute user manuals and operation guides for the lighting system, ensuring that facility staff and maintenance personnel are familiar with the equipment and its functionalities.
Develop a proactive maintenance plan to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of the lighting system. This should include regular inspections, cleaning, and replacement of components as needed.
