If you want to know the cost of stadium lights before and after the purchase, you may also need to understand this knowledge before you buy, the cost of the lights, the cost of installation, and the subsequent maintenance and electricity costs. After understanding these you may be able to purchase the best plan or budget you need. Of course, depending on the type of lighting, the size of the court, the height of the pole, and the use of the game, there will be quite a difference.

How much does it cost to light up a football field?
How much electricity a football field needs is determined based on all its loads. The amount of load required is designed according to the size of his site. You can watch the stadium lighting-illuminance calculation we wrote earlier. Let's take the most typical high school stadium as an example. Everyone is more familiar with it. Since the lighting requirement is 300-400lux, about 35000W LED lights are needed to provide sufficient lighting for the entire lawn and auditorium. If you change to a metal halide lamp (HID), the required power will be 70,000W! This is because LED lights have more energy efficiency advantages, so the same brightness only needs 35,000 to meet. Taking an average electricity cost in the United States is about 0.12KW·h; therefore, the running cost of stadium lighting is about 35000*0.12/1000=US$4.2. Of course, only the reference data will be different according to the cost of each region.
As for the maintenance cost, compared with the electricity cost, it can be ignored temporarily. This is because the durable characteristics of LED, the life span is 8 times higher than that of ordinary HID or HPS.

How much do stadium lights cost?
In addition to the energy cost we just calculated, the cost of the lamps has not yet been calculated. For a typical high school stadium, the total cost ranges from $40,000 to $100,000, depending on the brand and source you choose.
