Sports lighting is an art form and lighting poles in the wrong location can breach safety guidelines. Inappropriate lighting can reduce user amenity. 2MH Consulting provides specialist sports lighting expertise to provide the best user outcome at an affordable price.

Many organisations provide inadequate consideration of the user’s lighting needs when arriving and leaving the facility. 2MH Consulting provides a holistic lighting design perspective. We know that the player’s experience starts before play and extends after. We look at users’ needs from the car park to the field to the change rooms and recommend the best approach to suit the available budget.

Have you considered the likely scenario that your sports field or outdoor space will also be used for outdoor entertainment, club functions, public concerts or fundraising events? Did you know that outdoor entertainment amplifiers, mixers and speakers often require three-phase power, not typical two-phase? Have you considered where power outlets are located relative to likely entertainment areas? Will running power cords on the day be safe? We consider all this and more to ensure landscape design and power infrastructure are suitable for future use.

There is no right answer when deciding between underground or overhead power. It depends on your site, intended uses of the site, traffic access, bushfire risk, budget and more. There is one constant in all of this: considered upfront planning makes all the difference. Over the years, many a sports club has fallen into the trap of building a new court or field and then have to dig it up to install underground power. We help you look into the future and plan for those requirements upfront. It makes sense; it saves you time and money, and it leads to better facilities and user enjoyment.
