High-Efficiency LED Sports Lighting for Queensland Conditions
Modern LED sports lighting offers unmatched energy efficiency, lower maintenance and crisp, consistent illumination. We install LED systems suited to both indoor and outdoor sporting venues, including:
- Community sports fields
- School courts
- High-performance stadiums
As suppliers and installers of LED sports lighting in Australia, we work only with premium-grade fittings built to withstand the harsh local climate. These systems switch on instantly, cut power bills, and deliver long service life without the flicker or warm-up time of older technologies.
Compliant Sports Lighting Solutions for Competitive and Recreational Use
All our sports lighting solutions are engineered to comply with AS/NZS 2560.2 – the standard that governs lighting for sports fields across Australia. This includes:
- Recommended lux levels by sport (training vs competition)
- Uniformity ratios
- Glare and spill light limitations
- Mounting height and pole layout
Our designs are backed by photometric modelling and delivered with compliance documentation suitable for council approvals and grant applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do sports lighting projects in Queensland need to comply with Australian standards?
Yes. Every installation must comply with AS/NZS 2560.2, which sets out the required light levels (lux), glare control and uniformity ratios for each sport and level of play. At GAP Industries, all our designs are modelled and delivered to meet these standards, ensuring safe and compliant operation on any sports field.
What lux levels are required for community football and netball courts?
It depends on the type of use. For local clubs and school fields, typical lighting requirements are:
- Football & rugby (training): 50–100 lux
- Netball & tennis (training): 200 lux
- Competition level: 200–500+ lux
We design all our systems with the correct beam angles and pole placement to meet these values.
Why do sporting clubs in regional Queensland switch to LED lighting?
LED lighting is ideal for clubs in hot and humid climates like North Queensland. Benefits include:
- Lower energy costs year-round
- Long life and minimal maintenance
- Brighter, more even light for players and coaches
- Instant on/off with no warm-up delay
Plus, LED helps councils and schools meet sustainability targets.
Can GAP Industries upgrade existing halogen or metal halide sports lights to LED?
Yes. In many cases, we can reuse your existing poles and upgrade just the heads and control gear. Our team will inspect the site, run a lighting simulation, and install new LED fixtures that match the field layout and meet the required lux levels under AS/NZS standards.
What sports do you install lighting for?
We design and install lighting for:
- AFL and rugby fields
- Soccer pitches
- Cricket ovals
- Netball and basketball courts
- Tennis courts
- Multipurpose school and council facilities
GAP Industries handles the full job, design, supply, install and certify.
How does GAP Industries ensure compliance with spill light and council rules?
In addition to sports lighting standards, we apply AS 4282 to manage spill light and glare for neighbouring properties. We also prepare compliance documentation for council approvals and funding applications, making the process easier for facility managers and sporting committees.
Can GAP Industries work with remote or regional schools and councils?
Absolutely. Our team services all of North Queensland — including Townsville, Charters Towers, Hinchinbrook, Burdekin, the Tablelands and beyond. We’re fully equipped for regional worksites and offer support before, during and after installation.
How soon can GAP Industries complete a sports lighting upgrade?
For new installations, we provide clear timelines during the quoting stage. Our local presence allows us to move fast and handle urgent upgrades or emergency repairs when needed.
