Floodlighting
MUGA floodlighting doubles the hours your court is usable. We design and install LED sports floodlights for multi-use game areas, sized to the court and aimed to keep light on the pitch and out of nearby windows, so play carries on after dark.

Why it matters
The Benefits of MUGA Floodlighting
- Twice the usable hours – Floodlighting keeps your MUGA court in play through dark winter evenings, which is when after-school clubs, adult leagues and community bookings all compete for space.
- Lower running costs – LED sports floodlights use roughly 60 to 70 per cent less electricity than the halide units they replace, and they light instantly rather than warming up.
- Light on the court, not the neighbours – Precision optics and correct aiming keep spill and glare off surrounding homes and roads, which is usually the difference between a smooth planning application and a contested one.
- Safer play and safer sites – Even, shadow-free coverage across the whole court reduces trips and collisions, and a lit facility is far less attractive to antisocial behaviour after hours.
- Controlled, not left on – Timers, key switches and booking-linked controls mean the lights run only when the court is booked, so you are not paying to light an empty MUGA.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
In most cases yes. Floodlights on a multi use games area usually need planning permission because of column height and light spill, and councils will normally want a lighting design showing lux levels and spill contours before they decide. We produce those calculations as part of the design, and we will tell you early if a scheme is likely to struggle so you are not paying for an application that fails.
Recreational and school MUGAs typically need around 100 to 200 lux, club-level play around 200 to 300 lux, and competitive fixtures more again. It is not simply a matter of brightness, though. Uniformity across the court matters more than peak output, because dark corners are what actually spoil a game. We design to the standard for the level of play you expect.
Quality LED floodlights are rated to around 50,000 to 100,000 hours, which for a typical MUGA works out at fifteen years or more of evening use. They dim gradually rather than failing outright, and because there are no lamps to replace, maintenance across that life is close to nil.
Yes. Floodlighting layouts are designed to suit the size and layout of each court.
