Stadium Lighting in Virginia

What is a Stadium Lighting Application?

Stadium lighting refers to high-powered outdoor lighting systems designed to illuminate athletic fields, sports complexes, and large outdoor venues. These lights are typically mounted on 40 to 100-foot poles, with multiple high-output fixtures on each structure.
Below are a few image examples of sports field lighting:

Many older systems still rely on HID lamps like metal halide or high-pressure sodium, which suffer from high energy usage, poor light quality, and high maintenance costs.

Lower Energy Usage

Running a 2000W HID stadium fixture can cost over $12,500 per year. Upgrading to LED stadium lights can cut that by 50–80%, saving thousands annually.

Long-Term Maintenance Savings

Unlike HID systems, LED stadium lighting lasts 100,000+ hours and doesn’t require frequent re-lamping or ballast replacement. Less downtime = less disruption.

LED Stadium Lighting in Virginia

Virginia’s sports venues — from Richmond and Virginia Beach to Roanoke and Fairfax — are upgrading to LED stadium lighting to keep up with growing athletic demands and sustainability goals. With the state's mix of humid summers and winter storms, traditional HID lighting systems often fail to deliver consistent performance and require frequent upkeep.

LED stadium lighting offers Virginia schools, municipalities, and athletic facilities reliable performance, superior visibility, and reduced energy costs. Designed to handle Virginia’s seasonal shifts, LED systems provide instant-on illumination, longer life spans, and safer environments for players and spectators alike.

How to Start Your Stadium Lighting Project in Virginia

The first step in upgrading your facility’s lighting is partnering with a manufacturer-neutral expert like Stouch Lighting—not just a product vendor. Many local contractors lack the specialized knowledge needed to deliver high-performance LED stadium lighting that meets modern energy, safety, and visibility standards.

It’s important to understand: LED lighting is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Product quality, performance, and compatibility vary widely. A true lighting partner will focus on your goals—not just selling a fixture. At Stouch Lighting, we start by asking the right questions:

  • What are your budget and ROI targets?

  • Are there energy reduction goals or lighting performance requirements?

  • Do you need smart controls, zoning, or photometric design?

Based on your needs, we’ll deliver a custom stadium lighting solution backed by:

  • Full lighting design and layout plans

  • Project scope and RFP support

  • Value engineering to optimize cost and performance

We work with schools, municipalities, and sports organizations across Nevada to deliver reliable, energy-efficient stadium lighting systems that perform for years to come.
