They will draft a design draft for your approval, which will take into account all your budget and design preferences. For a small piece of land, the plan costs tens of thousands of dollars. A larger venue, more facilities for players and spectators will cost more.
Football lighting is divided into football field lighting inside the field and football field lighting outside the field. The lighting standard should be determined according to the function of football field. It can be divided into seven levels: 200lx for training and entertainment activities, 500lx for amateur games, 750lx for professional games, 1000lx for general TV broadcast, 1400lx for high-definition TV broadcast for large international games, and 750lx for TV emergency.
Take 200lx for training and entertainment activities as an example:
A: 4 Poles are arranged at the four corners of the stadium
Lights at the four corners of the stadium, 5 units 1000 watts LED footbal stadium lights on each poles, in total 20 units lights.
B.4 Poles are arranged on both sides of the football field
Install 5 units of 1000 watts LED football stadium lights on each pole, in total 20 units lights.

| International standard ( length 100-110m, width 64-75m) | 200-300 lx |    |
1000W | 24-36pcs |
| 400lx | 1000W | 40pcs | ||
| 500lx | 1000W | 60-80pcs | ||
| 750lx | 1200W | 44pcs | ||
| 1000lx | 1000W | 84pcs | ||
| 45*28m | 200lx | 300W | 12pcs | |
| 170*90 with runway | 500lx | 1000W | 112pcs | |
| 176*92m | 1500lx | 1000W | 216pcs |
