Choosing the right stadium lighting fixtures and the right way to install them is a task that requires specialized knowledge and skills. Romanso has rich experienced in this industry, and the following will introduce how to select and install stadium lighting fixtures to ensure the safety and comfort of sports issue.

First, the selection of stadium lighting fixtures.

1. Light source type: Choosing LED lamps that are suitable for the stadium environment, because they have the characteristics of high brightness, low energy consumption, long lifespan, low glare and environmental protection. Additionally, incandescent and fluorescent lights are not suitable for the stadium environment as they can produce excessive shadows and uneven lighting. It will bring a bad feeling to both athletes and spectators.

%1. Brightness & Uniformity: Choose the right brightness according to the size and purpose of the court. Generally speaking, the lighting of the stadium will be divided into Class I, Class II, and Class III, and the illumination of different types of stadiums at different levels is referred to as follows. At the same time, our company can also provide professional simulation reports according to customer requirements, so that customers can clearly know how many lights need to be used in the site, wattage, how to install, light angle, overall illumination and uniformity and other details. At the same time, make sure that the light is evenly distributed to avoid shadows and glare. If the customer is still worried about the installation problem, we can also provide real-time guidance, the installation instructions are available, and we can also provide installation SOP or video to assist the customer to complete the installation.

3. Color temperature selection: Choose the right color temperature according to the type of competition and the needs of the audience. Generally speaking, 5000K-6500K are the most popular among customers. More professional requires a higher CCT and cold white. But, it also depends on different requirements in different country and government. For example, in some European countries, they require the CCT is 3000K to 4000K. The comfortable color temperature can improve the viewing experience of the spectators, and also allow the athletes to play well, presenting a wonderful game to the spectators.

%1. Glare control: The number of floodlights for each project is determined by the illumination within the site. In the quadrangle arrangement, the number of lighthouses is less than that of lateral lighting, so that less light enters the field of view of athletes or spectators.On the other hand, the number of floodlights used in corner lighting is more than that of lateral lighting, and from any point of the court, the sum of the light intensity of each lighthouse floodlight of corner lighting is greater than the light intensity of the multi-tower or light belt mode of lateral lighting.Experiments have shown that it is difficult to choose between two ways of lighting.Usually, the choice of lighting method and the exact location of the lighthouse depend more on cost or site conditions than on lighting factors. It is recommended not to associate glare with illuminance, because when other factors are the same, as the illuminance increases, the adaptation level of the human eye also increases, and in fact, the sensitivity to glare is not affected.

%1. Protection level: Considering the particularity of the stadium environment and the damage that sports equipment may cause to the lamps, you should choose lamps with a good protection level, such as IP66, IP67 or higher and the higher anti-impact rating like IK10 if you are outdoors. In addition, some customers are used in the seaside, that need to do a good job of anti-corrosion treatment and salt spray treatment. Romanso's LED lamps produced based on the strict requirements to ensure the constantly quality and stable working performance. At the same time we provide a 5-year warranty to customers, so that customers can use at ease, peace of mind, no worries. We can understand the customer, the stadium lights are generally installed on the relatively high light pole, first of all, in terms of installation, labor cost is also a large expense, only to provide high-quality products and after-sales, in order to effectively help customers reduce the follow-up maintenance costs.

Second, the installation of stadium lighting fixtures

1. Determine the installation position and angle: According to the area and shape of the court, determine the appropriate installation position and angle of the lamp. In general, luminaires should be installed at the edge or center of the pitch to cover the entire pitch. At the same time, the luminaires should be oriented towards the center of the pitch or the lower part of the edge of the pitch to provide even light.

2. Install the fixtures: According to the type and protection level of the selected luminaire, select the appropriate fixtures for installation. In general, the fixture should be able to withstand some wind and impact forces.

3.The luminaire lighting direction

It needs to be accurately aimed and maintained in the design position throughout its life cycle. For players, goalkeepers are the most vulnerable.
As for glare, the front of the public area on the side of the pitch and behind the goal are the worst viewing conditions for spectators, and these positions are used to assess the quality of glare control when designing the projection direction of the floodlights.

4.Power connection: Make sure the power cord is long enough to connect the power supply to the fixture. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the power cord is safe enough to avoid the occurrence of electric shock accidents.

5. Control equipment: Choose the appropriate control equipment according to your needs, such as smart dimming controller or manual switch. These devices can adjust the brightness and color of the lights to meet different game and spectator needs.

5. Safety measures: During the installation process, the safety regulations and operating procedures should be observed. Ensure that the work area is clean and tidy to avoid debris and obstacles that can affect the installation process. At the same time, wear protective equipment such as hard hats, gloves and protective glasses.

Last, Precautions

1. Regular maintenance: Regularly check whether the lamps and fixtures are working properly, and replace the damaged parts in time to ensure the stability and safety of the stadium lighting.

%1. Environmental protection and energy saving: When choosing lamps and lanterns, environmental protection and energy saving factors should be considered. Choose energy-efficient LED lamps and lanterns, and reasonably adjust the brightness and color temperature of the lights to reduce energy consumption and environmental pollution.

3. Training & Guidance: For new lighting systems or first-time lighting installations, provide the necessary training and guidance to ensure proper installation and use.
