What LED Lights are Suit for Stadium Lighting?

Common comprehensive venues, to meet the lighting requirements of badminton, basketball, football and other sports as well as large-scale activities, The lights should be with the features of anti-glare, high light efficiency, instant start, good stability and the single lamp can access intelligent control system, which can greatly reduce the operation and maintenance costs of stadiums.

What kind of lighting is suitable for the stadium lighting?
The quality of stadium lighting is mainly considered from the following five aspects:

1. Glare: whether glare is obvious.

2. Lighting Stability: whether it is stroboscopic.

3. Illumination Level: luminosity is up to standard.

4. Brightness Ratio: How is the difference between the background color and height of the object?

5. Lighting Uniformity: Whether the illumination of the sports field is uniform.

LED lights with their small power consumption, color quality adjustable, flexible control, instantaneous lighting and other unique characteristics, are more suitable for sports field lighting. For example, Romanso Outdoor LED Sports Lighting Project in UEFA in Romania 2020, with DMX smart control system, the efficiency is as high as 140-150 lm/W. Horizontal illuminance for televising: 2115lux, Lighting effects is high lumen, high uniformity and low glare. And 5000 hours of constant illumination output, to ensure that the site to obtain a constant illuminance level and uniformity, to avoid the demand and cost increase of lighting equipment since the lumens depreciation, while decreasing the lighting equipment

power consumption.

What factors should be considered while designing the lighting of the Stadium?

In the lighting design of sports venues, glare and interference light are the main adverse factors affecting the athletes to play at the competitive level, and also the important factors affecting the quality of television transmission. Of the luminescent characteristics of the light source, most of the common LEDs have glare issues. The stadium lighting design should focus on the glare issue in the lamp lens and anti-glare cover installation, and also fully consider the importance of anti-glare. A sense of brightness in the visual field to which the human eye is not adapted may cause aversion, discomfort or even loss of clarity. It also refers to excessive brightness in a local part of the visual field or excessive brightness changes before and after.

Generally speaking, the lighting of the football field is an important and complicated part of the stadium design. It not only needs to meet the requirements of the athletes for the game and the spectators for watching. But also to meet the television broadcast on the lighting color temperature, illuminance, illuminance uniformity and other requirements, this requirement is far higher than the athletes and the audience. In addition, the arrangement of lighting lamps should be closely coordinated with the overall planning of the stadium and the structural form of the stands.

The whole field should be irradiated evenly, not too bright or too dark areas, to provide good visual conditions for athletes, spectators and referees. This also puts forward higher requirements for lighting distribution, safety angle and court lighting design. The more professional the court, the higher the requirements.

In order to improve the utilization rate of the court, more and more indoor courts are considered to be built as comprehensive courts rather than traditional single-function courts, which not only improves the use efficiency but also puts forward higher requirements for the court construction, especially the stadium lighting. Besides the complex lighting requirements of indoor venues, the lighting requirements of outdoor courts are also increasingly high. In addition to the ordinary like outdoor basketball is relatively simple, others like large football fields, golf courses, etc., on the field lighting parameters, more and more subdivided, more and more professional.

Like the light distribution of lamps, there are few requirements in the indoor court, because the space is not too large relative to the indoor court, the light distribution of lamps is basically a large angle. And in the outdoor court, the light distribution of the lamps is an important factor. The characteristics of the outdoor stadium are large space, high pole installation, and far away lighting. In order to achieve good uniformity, the small angle of the lamps is especially important.

Indoor basketball stadium lighting is different from outdoor basketball courts in terms of power and number of users. Generally, the lamp power of an indoor basketball stadium is 80-150W. Because it is vertical irradiation, the effective irradiation area of indoor court lighting lamps is smaller than that of outdoor court, so the number of lamps is significantly more than that of outdoor court.

The outdoor basketball court is recommended to use outdoor LED stadium lighting. The lamp is portable and equipped with an adjustable mounting bracket; Through gradual improvement, the luminaire's luminous efficiency and effective utilization rate of light are greatly improved, and the unique anti-glare device can provide a comfortable environment for the players.

Compared with traditional lamps, it can save energy by up to 60%-70%. The selection of lighting fixtures is a very important link. The power, irradiation range and controllable irradiation angle of the lamps directly determine the number and installation position and installation height of the lights, which affect the cost.

There will be broadcast live for the important events. In order to get high quality picture, the camera on the field lighting requirements are naturally much higher, such as the Provincial Games, the National Youth Games, the field lighting of the domestic individual series, the direction of the vertical illumination of the main camera to more than 1000lux, and some of the external business football club illumination is commonly 150lux, which is several times obviously more.

The impact on the camera picture is relatively large, as well as the display index and color temperature. After the initial composition of metal halides is drawn up, the photoelectric parameters of the light source, such as color temperature and color rendering are fixed. Generally, 65(4000K), 80(4000K) and 90(5600K) can be selected. However, with the increase of the ignition point time of the light source, the metal halides in the quartz bubble shell can be selected.

Therefore, the right and energy saving LED stadium sports lights are essential to you.
