When a sports lighting proposal exceeds the available budget, the next step is to understand what the price includes. Another supplier may offer a different equipment package, installation scope, or service agreement.
AEON is an option for facilities comparing sports lighting proposals. The useful comparison is whether each proposed system meets the same project requirements and what the owner receives for the quoted price.
Give each supplier the same dimensions, mounting information, intended use, and lighting criteria. Ask for a layout identifying the proposed fixtures, optics, quantities, and aiming arrangements.
Matching a competitor’s fixture wattage is not the objective. Evaluate the proposed lighting results and the equipment needed to achieve them.
When reviewing the layouts, compare the same calculation areas, target light levels, uniformity criteria, and other owner requirements. If one proposal uses different assumptions, identify those differences before comparing price.
Check whether each proposal includes poles, foundations, mounting hardware, controls, electrical work, installation, aiming and final testing.
For a retrofit, establish which existing components can remain after appropriate evaluation. Reusing suitable infrastructure may change the project scope, but it should not be assumed before the site is reviewed.
Ask each respondent to identify exclusions and work assigned to others. A lower equipment price may not represent a lower installed project cost if structural work, controls, access equipment, or other services are priced separately.
A useful comparison makes it clear which company or contractor is responsible for each part of the project.
Musco’s U.S. warranty information describes warranty plans providing coverage for parts and labor for up to 25 years, including lift equipment. The applicable agreement depends on the proposed system and project.
Musco’s published school-project material also shows why the exact agreement matters: some retrofit installations have been provided with 10-year coverage while a new-pole installation was covered for 25 years.
Compare that agreement with the written warranty and service terms supplied for the AEON proposal. Coverage duration alone does not explain who will diagnose a fault, replace a component, or pay for shipping, labor, or access equipment.
If a proposal includes remote controls, scheduling, monitoring, or service-center support, compare those functions separately from the luminaires themselves.
Identify what hardware is included, who commissions the controls, whether internet or cellular service is required, who can change schedules and settings, and whether any recurring subscription or communications costs apply.
The goal is not to assume one control system matches another. Compare the functions the facility actually needs and the responsibilities included in each proposal.
AEON offers several sports-lighting families for different project requirements. Product selection should follow the field layout, mounting conditions, and required performance rather than the product name alone.
Sports and flood-lighting options for municipal, high-school, recreational and other indoor or outdoor applications.
Sports and flood-lighting options for municipal, school, collegiate, recreation and outdoor facilities.
High-output sports lighting for stadiums, arenas, recreation complexes and other athletic facilities.
Ask for the exact model, wattage, voltage, optics, mounting method, controls interface, and relevant product documents for the AEON proposal.
Use AEON’s specifications and downloads library for current product sheets and installation instructions. Request IES files or project-specific documents directly when needed so the submittal matches the quoted configuration.
Tell us what the facility needs, the work being considered, and the budget constraints. Useful information includes:
Our sports lighting proposal checklist can help organize the comparison.
Share the field information and project scope you already have. AEON can review product options, layout requirements, and documentation for a project-specific proposal.
