Choose a lighting product
Start with a sport-court lighting product, fixture count, head count, and mounting assumptions.
Estimate outdoor lighting cost before you place fixtures on the map.
Start with the lighting product, fixture count, heads, pole/base work, wiring, and controls. Then place and aim the lights on the property map to review modeled coverage contours.
Add installation details
Include pole bases, trenching, wiring, controls, and install type so the estimate is fixture-based.
Aim it on the property map
Open the lighting estimator with the calculator choices carried over, then place and aim real fixtures.
Outdoor lighting cost calculator
Your planning estimate updates immediately as you change fixture count, product, heads, pole/base work, trenching, wiring, controls, and local factors. Coverage is still a planning simulation, not a certified photometric plan.

Pricing notes
- Lighting coverage and product output are planning simulations based on available specs. Contractors should verify final photometrics, glare, electrical, code, and permits.

The calculator uses this as a linked sport-court layout. The map estimator will still let you place, move, and aim the actual poles before requesting quotes.

Use this estimate as a starting point
This estimate is not localized yet. You can still draw it on the map, or add an address first for local context.
What changes the lighting estimate?
The calculator starts with product and fixture count, then adds the install assumptions that usually matter. If you add a location, it can show approved local adjustments before you move into the map estimator.
Fixture and head count
Lighting is priced per fixture or pole, not by the visible coverage area.
Equipment vs installation
The calculator separates product equipment, installation labor, concrete base, wiring, and controls internally.
Mounting and wiring
Pole bases, trenching, wall mounting, surface mounting, and controls can materially change the installed range.
Local context
Published local factors can adjust the estimate using wage, demand, regional cost, soil, weather, permit, and approved pricing data.
