Installing LED lighting in a football field or stadium can bring many benefits to fans, players and managers. Choosing football field and stadium lights can be a challenge for many people. If you are planning to install LED light fixtures in your football field or stadium, here are some tips to ensure you choose the best.
Choose a Waterproof Light
The effectiveness and longevity of football stadium lights depends on several factors. One factor is waterproofing. Since lights are affected by conditions like humidity and water, you can’t ignore this factor. So check the ratings to make sure they’ll perform well in inclement weather.
Finding Quality Lights
Always choose quality fixtures that provide enough brightness and cool temperatures for a football pitch. While there are several top brands to choose from, you need to make sure you choose the best. Happily, field and stadium lighting failure rates are low. But be sure to choose high quality.
Glare rating
Although most people don’t consider glare rate when choosing football field and stadium lights, in sports lighting, it is an essential factor. This is because when there is too much glare, it will cause visual discomfort to players and fans.
Check the beam angle
The beam angle controls how the light spreads across the field. If the angle is narrow, the light uniformity is low. But if the angle is large, the regularity of light is high. Therefore, the light you choose must have the right beam angle to create balance in the stadium.
consider heat dissipation
Stadium lights are easily damaged by overheating. A good system should have proper ventilation. Therefore, when choosing lamps, please consider lamps made of pure aluminum. This is because higher grade aluminum has the highest electrical conductivity.
precise aiming
Our lighting designers can help you plan the football stadium you would like to light up. When the planning scheme is formulated and approved, it is very critical to install and aim the floodlights according to the plan. A precision aiming device will assist in aiming the light precisely at the aiming point, and the green laser beam can be projected up to a distance of 300 meters. Everything is designed to make your work easier and more efficient.
Visor to trim excess upward light
Spill or distraction light is light that spills from the playing field and into surrounding areas such as residential areas or parking lots, etc. The visor is specifically designed to trim excess upward light for excellent control of spill light and limiting glare.
Football fields and stadiums benefit greatly from lighting systems. They improve the safety of fans and football players. In addition, neighbors and businesses around the stadium also benefit.
Looking for a higher color rendering index
Color Rendering Index (CRI) measures the ability of light to render an object an accurate color rendering. A high CRI indicates that the color of an item seen in that light is as close to the color as it would be seen in ideal or full natural light. Search for lights with a CRI rating of 80 or higher.
Consider Energy Efficiency
One of the first variables to consider when making a selection is the power efficiency of the lighting. Arenas need to be well lit, and the job requires a variety of lights, and they have to stay on for many hours of the day. Therefore, the amount of energy they release is an important part of your consideration as this will directly affect your operating expenses. LED lights are one of the most efficient options available, but the power efficiency of LED lighting options can vary widely.
Luminous efficacy is a rating that can help you identify efficiency. This statistic reflects the number of lumens a light produces for the electrical energy it consumes. The greater the luminous efficiency, the better the light effect of course.
Evaluate Longevity
Finally, look for lighting options with a long life expectancy. For example, you don’t want to spend too much time changing lights when they are mounted high on the stage.
We offer a wide range of LED arena lights from 100w-5000w, as well as light replacements for stadiums, arenas and venues. LED sports lights have become the new standard in outdoor and indoor sports lighting.
