We’ll guide you through the process of designing a complete lighting system that’s good for your budget and the environment—with solutions tailored to your arena, athletes, fans, and facility staff.
We’ll even work with you to navigate the available purchasing methods and funding options, including cooperative contracts and custom financing, to remove any financial barriers

Planning & Design
Get the Project You Want
Planning your project begins with asking the right questions. Given your ice arena’s unique dimensions, seating capacity, skill level of participants, broadcast requirements, and other factors, we’ll discover:
- How much light do you need on the ice and how evenly should it be distributed?
- Is the arena used for other sports, concerts, or special events?
- What lighting is needed for bleachers, entrances, exits, and parking lots?
Custom Designed for Ice Hockey
Well-designed sports lighting systems improve the experience for players, spectators, and broadcast audiences by addressing specific challenges for ice hockey:
- Evenly distributed light to help players and fans track the puck.
- Precise aiming to minimize glare.
- Color-accurate light to enhance visibility, safety, and broadcast quality.
Multi-Use Facility Applications
With solutions for arenas that host multiple sports, concerts, and special events, your lighting system will:
- Meet light level standards for each sport: Custom lighting designs, adjustable color temperatures, system dimming, and more.

Trouble-Free Maintenance and Support
Because no lighting system is truly maintenance-free, make sure to think about the service and warranty details that will make a difference throughout the lifetime of your system.
- Warranty—Does the manufacturer cover parts and labor costs for up to 25 years? Do they have financial reserves dedicated to supporting warranty fulfillment?
- Routine Maintenance & Service—Who pays for it, and who’s available to help?
- System Monitoring—Does the manufacturer proactively monitor for outages and other issues?
- Support—What kind of troubleshooting support is provided, and on what schedule?
