Professional Floodlighting Maintenance & Service Contracts
Regular maintenance is essential for maintaining the performance and reliability of sports floodlighting systems.
At Sports Lighting, we offer flexible maintenance solutions, including scheduled servicing contracts, individual service visits and specialist cleaning of existing floodlighting equipment.
For facilities operating traditional metal halide floodlights, we generally recommend replacing lamps every 3 to 4 years and carrying out cleaning every 1 to 2 years, depending on the condition and usage of the system.
Routine maintenance helps preserve lighting performance, maintain suitable lux levels and identify potential problems before they develop into more significant issues.
Comprehensive Floodlighting Servicing
Our experienced team carries out detailed servicing of existing floodlighting installations, with maintenance work including:
- Cleaning floodlight glass internally and externally
- Cleaning reflectors to maintain effective light distribution
- Carefully cleaning lamps using appropriate alcohol-based wipes
- Inspecting electrical terminals for signs of corrosion
- Checking the condition of accessible lighting components
- Carrying out final testing following servicing
These procedures help maintain the efficiency and performance of existing lighting systems and support their continued reliable operation.
Hydraulic Lighting Column Lowering & Raising
Sports Lighting specialises in the raising and lowering of base-hinged floodlighting columns for maintenance, servicing and inspection.
We carry an extensive selection of hydraulic rams, enabling us to accommodate approximately 95% of hydraulic lighting column requirements, with equipment suitable for columns ranging from 6 metres to 22 metres in height.
Our specialist equipment covers many established lighting column manufacturers, including:
- Abacus
- Christies
- Towermaster
This allows our experienced team to safely lower and raise compatible lighting columns, providing access to floodlighting equipment for maintenance and servicing.
For static lighting columns that cannot be lowered, we can also arrange access using cherry pickers, allowing maintenance work to be undertaken at height.
