Australian-designed sports lighting for Australian conditions—from Darwin to Devonport

LED Sports Lighting for Australian Fields, Courts and Venues

Jasstech designs, supplies and installs LED sports lighting for clubs, schools, councils, stadiums, commercial venues and community facilities across Australia. We support new developments, upgrades to ageing metal-halide systems, lighting controls, lux testing and ongoing sports-lighting maintenance.

Every sport creates different visual demands. The size of the playing area, speed and height of the ball, direction of play, spectator locations and surrounding properties all influence the lighting design. Jasstech develops site-specific solutions that consider illumination, uniformity, glare, spill light, pole locations, aiming, controls and the intended level of play.

  • Outdoor and indoor sports-lighting design
  • New facilities and LED retrofit projects
  • Purpose-designed luminaires, optics and aiming
  • Dimming, zoning and smart lighting controls
  • Lux audits, commissioning and performance checks
  • Planned maintenance, fault finding and upgrade advice

Sports Lighting Services from Design to Maintenance

Lighting Design and Planning

We review the playing area, level of use, existing infrastructure and nearby properties before developing a photometric design. The design can model expected lux, uniformity, glare and spill-light performance and help confirm the suitable luminaires, optics, quantities, pole positions and aiming.

Learn about lighting design and quotations.

Supply and Installation

Jasstech supplies purpose-designed LED sports luminaires and can coordinate project delivery for new poles, suitable retrofits, electrical works, aiming and commissioning. The final scope is developed around the venue, project team, access requirements and installation conditions.

See the new and retrofit installation process.

Audits, Controls and Maintenance

Existing lighting can be tested and assessed for declining output, uneven coverage, faults, aiming and control issues. Practical recommendations may include cleaning, repairs, re-aiming, dimming, zoning, component replacement or a staged LED upgrade.

Sports and Facilities We Light

Jasstech sports-lighting solutions are developed for individual sports as well as shared fields, multi-court centres and community recreation precincts. Select a sport below to learn more, or contact our team about a facility that combines several activities.

LED sports lighting at an AFL and cricket ground

AFL and Australian Football Lighting

Large ovals need carefully modelled light distribution, useful vertical illumination and consistent coverage across a wide playing area. Jasstech develops new and retrofit LED lighting solutions for community football, training, competition and shared-use ovals, with controls that can support different operating modes.

Jasstech LED lighting at New Farm soccer field

Soccer Field Lighting

Soccer lighting should help players, officials and spectators follow the ball across the full field without disruptive glare or dark areas. Site-specific optics, pole positions, aiming and controls can support evening training, community matches and higher levels of play.

Jasstech LED lighting at a rugby field

Rugby League and Rugby Union Lighting

Rugby venues require dependable illumination across the field, in-goal areas and key viewing zones. Jasstech can plan field lighting for training and competition, assess existing poles and electrical infrastructure, and develop an LED upgrade pathway that balances performance, glare and operating requirements.

LED lighting on a multi-sport AFL and cricket oval

Cricket and Multi-Sport Oval Lighting

Cricket and shared ovals present different visual tasks across large spaces, from training areas and outfields to wickets, boundaries and spectator zones. A coordinated lighting design can account for the sports played, seasonal use, existing infrastructure and the venue’s required operating levels.

LED tennis court lighting at Manly Lawn Tennis Club

Tennis Court Lighting

Tennis demands strong ball visibility, even court coverage and effective glare control during serves, volleys and high lobs. Jasstech provides LED tennis lighting for private courts, clubs, schools, councils and multi-court centres, including new installations and metal-halide retrofits.

LED lighting at Kangarilla netball courts

Netball and Basketball Court Lighting

Fast court sports depend on consistent illumination for ball tracking, player movement and confident officiating. Lighting can be designed for outdoor or indoor courts, single-sport facilities and shared court precincts, with suitable uniformity, glare management and flexible control.

Installation of LED sports lighting on a field pole

Hockey and Athletics Lighting

Hockey pitches, athletics tracks and field-event areas each require a design based on venue geometry and the visual tasks of the sport. Jasstech can model coverage, select optics and coordinate pole, luminaire and control requirements for dedicated or multi-use facilities.

Volleyball Court Lighting

Indoor volleyball lighting needs to support a fast-moving ball above the court while managing glare for players looking upward. Purpose-selected LED luminaires and careful positioning can improve visibility, uniformity and control for training, competition and multi-use indoor venues.

Outdoor pickleball court lighting layout

Pickleball Court Lighting

Pickleball facilities benefit from lighting designed for their court geometry, sightlines and close-range play. Jasstech supports indoor, outdoor and shared tennis-pickleball venues with tailored LED layouts, glare control, dimming and retrofit options for suitable existing infrastructure.

Jasstech LED lighting at a lawn bowls venue

Aquatic Centres and Lawn Bowls Lighting

Aquatic centres and bowling greens have distinct lighting challenges, including reflective surfaces, long viewing distances and neighbouring properties. Jasstech project experience extends to these specialist venues, with designs developed around the activity, site conditions, operating hours and surrounding environment.


How a Sports Lighting Project Is Planned

  1. Define the venue and level of play: confirm the sports, playing areas, operating modes, competition requirements and future plans.
  2. Assess the site: review dimensions, poles, power, access, neighbouring properties and existing lighting where applicable.
  3. Develop the lighting design: model light levels, uniformity, glare and spill, then select appropriate luminaires, optics and aiming.
  4. Coordinate supply and installation: finalise equipment, controls, construction requirements and delivery responsibilities.
  5. Aim, commission and verify: check the completed system and, where included, confirm performance through lux testing and reporting.

Sports Lighting FAQs

Answers to common questions about planning, upgrading and maintaining lighting for sports fields, courts and indoor venues.

The required performance depends on the sport, the size and layout of the venue, and whether the facility is used for recreation, training, club competition or higher-level events. Lux is only one part of the design; uniformity, glare, vertical illumination, spill light and ball visibility may also be important. A photometric design should assess the full project requirement.

Sometimes. Existing poles must be assessed for their locations, heights, condition, structural capacity and suitability for the proposed luminaires and wind loads. The available aiming positions and electrical infrastructure also affect whether a retrofit can deliver the required lighting outcome.

Many existing systems can be upgraded to LED. A suitable retrofit begins with a review of the current poles, brackets, cabling, controls and lighting performance. Jasstech can compare the practical retrofit options with a new system and develop a solution around the venue’s performance and budget priorities.

Yes. Jasstech can support a project from site assessment and photometric design through luminaire selection, supply, installation coordination, aiming, commissioning and post-installation checks. The scope is tailored to the facility, location and project delivery requirements.

Glare and spill are managed through the complete lighting design rather than fixture wattage alone. Important factors include pole location and height, luminaire optics, shielding, aiming angles and the surrounding environment. Modelling can help predict light beyond the playing area before the system is installed.

Yes, when compatible luminaires and controls are specified. Dimming and zoning can give venues different operating modes for casual use, training, competition, maintenance or selected parts of a facility. This helps avoid running every light at full output when it is not required.

Often it can, but the design needs to consider the different playing areas, viewing directions and performance requirements of each sport. Multi-use ovals, school grounds and court precincts may use programmed scenes or zones so the lighting can be adjusted for different activities.

Yes. Existing systems can be inspected for faults, deterioration, cleanliness, aiming and control issues. Lux testing can measure current performance and identify uneven or inadequate areas. Maintenance may include cleaning, re-aiming, component replacement, controls work or planning a staged LED upgrade.
