Sydney United Sports Field Lighting

About Project

CBD Electrical delivered the floodlight upgrade and LED scoreboard installation at Sydney United Sports Centre in Edensor Park. The facility is home to Sydney United 58 FC, who compete in the National Premier Leagues NSW, so the lighting had to meet competition-grade standards for evening matches and broadcast requirements.

The project involved working at height on the existing steel floodlight towers, replacing ageing fixtures with new LED floodlight panels across multiple towers. Each tower required boom lift access for the install, with careful aiming and alignment to get even light coverage across the full pitch without spill into neighbouring residential properties.

We also installed a large LED scoreboard on the ground level, including the structural frame, power supply, data cabling, and connection to the venue's control systems. All work was scheduled around the club's training and match calendar.

Scope of Work

Full sports lighting upgrade and scoreboard installation for an NPL-grade football facility.

• LED floodlight panel replacement across multiple towers
• High-level work using boom lifts and access platforms
• Floodlight aiming and alignment for even pitch coverage
• LED scoreboard structural frame and installation
• Scoreboard power supply and data cabling
• Light spill management for adjacent residential areas
• Work scheduled around club training and match fixtures

Our Approach And Solution

Sports lighting is all about even coverage, correct lux levels, and controlling where the light goes. We started with the existing tower positions and planned the LED replacement to maximise coverage across the pitch while minimising light spill into the surrounding neighbourhood.

Each tower was accessed by boom lift, with old fixtures removed and new LED panels installed, wired, and aimed on site. The aiming process was done during evening hours so we could assess the coverage in real conditions and make fine adjustments. The LED scoreboard was installed at ground level with its own dedicated power supply and data connection back to the venue control room. All work was completed between match days to avoid disrupting the club's competition and training schedule.
