Designing Your LED Stadium Light Setup


 

LED Stadium Lights of Your Own

Lighting is an art in itself, and stadium lights are no different. Sporting events are often a very personal affair, creating bonds among friends and family, classmates and colleagues as they cheer on their favorites. Seeing it all crisp and clear is a vital part of the game. 


The first question to ask yourself is:  Existing lights and retrofit, or new install; and are the existing lights the caliber to create your ultimate stadium experience?


For existing lights, we try and match up the old sports lights to an equivalent or brighter if needed.   The 1500 watt Metal Halide sports light is far and away the most common fixture installed over the last 40 years.  For this, there is a 500-watt LED stadium light designed from the ground up to replace it, beam angles and all.   It saves 1000 watts and lights up a touch brighter.  This one is easy.   We have interchanges to other ones as well.   If it’s determined that you need more light rather than maintaining an equivalent amount, we can help with that too. 



New Install?


Stadium lighting heights vary per application which is why they are offered with different beam angles. A light placed at a height of 30-40 feet might use beam angle of 30 degrees due to the needs of the application. Choosing the proper light and beam angle is going to depend on the size of area being covered by light, the lumen requirements on the ground and the height of the lights. Creating a proper light plan is important, so getting with a lighting expert to plan out your application is essential to a good outcome. Photometric studies are often used to ensure the end result really nails it.    A lighting expert can design the phtostudy, often at no cost.  



Photometric Design

Photometric is the measurement of how we perceive light with our eyes. This measures brightness as well as shifts in the lighting due to movement or other forces.


For this, a pre-measured test run is a common practice. The right equipment will have potent adjusting tools to have you monitor and shift the lights as needed during the test. 


Choosing LED stadium lights over traditional metal halide lighting has many advantages. Here are just a few: 

Cost reduction – LED stadium lights are more energy efficient and will result in a significant savings in energy costs immediately. They are long lasting and will require less maintenance and replacement, saving money in operational costs. 

More business opportunities – LED stadium lights allow you to be more flexible with the types of events that you can host within the same stadium

Camera ready – LEDs provide flicker-free lighting and the best color rendering for excellent photos, recording or broadcasting

Safety – Most sporting events, including baseball, gymnastics, equestrian sports, swimming and bicycle racing among others, require certain lighting levels to ensure that participants are safe. A well lit spectator area also ensures safety for those watching the event or performance.

Pollution prevention – Light leakage in surrounding residential areas can be a problem. It can irritate neighbors and cause safety issues on nearby roads.

The Guide to Sports Lighting - LED Stadium Lights

  Why should I choose LED Lights rather than Halogen lamps? In order to understand how light is generated, it is important to understand two independent processes. The first occurs before electricity reaches the LED light bulb and can be considered as a Power Consumption Process. The second takes place a little later, with the projection of light. a. Power Consumption Process By power consumption we refer to the percentage of energy that is not wasted and that is essential to turn on the light. In the ordinary halogen lights, up to 80% of energy is wasted during the power process. With our LEDs, the wasted energy is less than 10% so our sports LED lighting will require much less electrical energy and will reach and exceed the projection of light provided by halogen luminaires for stadium lighting. b. Light Projection Process The lighting process is the second phase. Once the luminary has been turned on, you need to project the light to the ground with great light intensity. This is whe

Why are LED sports lights better than other traditional lighting sources?

  HALOGEN STADIUM LIGHTS VS LED STADIUM LIGHTS HALOGEN STADIUM LIGHTS LED STADIUM LIGHTS 1: Lower Track Light Scope: Much lower efficiency. 1: Higher Track Scope: Thanks to our unique optics, we are able to provide more light on the playing court than traditional lights or other LED manufacturers. 2: Higher Power Consumption: Only 20-60% of the electrical energy is used to turn on the lights. A lot of power is wasted during the process. 2: Lower Power Consumption: About 95% of the electricity is used to turn on the light, losing less than 5%. 3: Low Efficiency: Only 60-80% of the voltage is correctly counterbalanced by the ballast. This means that the Power Factor is only 60-80% which causes significant interference on the electric current. If we assume that an installation includes other electrical equipment apart from luminaires, they will be affected much more negatively than if we use LEDs. 3: High Efficiency Ballasts: LEDs use switched sources, exceeding 95% efficiency. They incor

Why solar street lights can light up in rainy days?

 Solar street lights use solar energy to provide electricity for street lights. During the day, the solar street light absorbs the solar energy, converts the solar energy into electrical energy and stores it in the battery, and then discharges the battery to supply power to the street light source at night. And with the rainy season coming to most parts of the country in June, the advantages of solar energy are also highlighted, and solar street lights can be lit on rainy days. But why can solar street lights be lit on rainy days? Next, the editor of Century Thecosky Lighting will introduce it to you in response to this problem. Under normal circumstances, the default number of rainy days for solar street lights produced by most manufacturers is three days, and the number of rainy days for integrated solar street lights will be longer, ranging from five days to seven days. That is to say, within the specified number of days, even if the solar street light cannot supplement the solar en
