2022-Guide to the selection of LED lights for stadium
Chinese Stadium light factory with high mast lights design plan free and led sport lighting manufacture
Lighting in stadiums can bring many benefits to both players and spectators, making the games run more smoothly and adding to the overall spectator experience. So when choosing the most appropriate LED lights for the stadium, what aspects should we pay attention to? The following will introduce them.
Illuminancestandard
Lux is a unit of illumination. When the luminous flux obtained on 1 square metre area is 1 lumen, its illuminance is 1 lux. In the design of stadium lighting, the aim is to achieve a uniform level of illumination throughout the field.
The beam Angle depends on the lamp mounting height. If the lamp installed in the stadium is at a higher position, it usually has a smaller beam Angle. Heights range from 40 feet to 100 feet, and there may be 1 to 12 lights on each pole.
1.Lux levels are usually divided into three categories
Class 1-Top level competition
Class 2-Intermediate level competition
Class 3-lower level competitions and training grounds
If we take soccer and tennis for example (soccer is a big ball, tennis is a small ball), they will have different Lux demands.
2.As recommended by the lowest lighting level:
Class 1-500 lux football/500 lux tennis
Class 2-200 lux football/300 lux tennis
Class 3-75 lux football/200 lux tennis
SelectionofPower and Lumens
Compare the wattage of LED lights and conventional lamps at the same lumen.
Conclusion: LED light efficiency is much higher.
Colortemperature-5000K for the stadium
The color temperature is measured using the Kelvin scale.
When installing lights for the stadium, choose LED lights with a color temperature of 5000K, closer to natural light.
SelectionofBeam Angle
For stadium lighting design, beam angle is very important. Beam angle is the angle at which light is distributed on the field. If the light installed in the stadium is relatively high, the beam angle is usually between 12° and 60°.The smaller the beam angle, the higher the light intensity within the angle.
Anti-Glare
Compared with traditional lights, LED lights can greatly reduce glare and reduce visual fatigue.
Coolingsystem
Although LED lights operate at much lower temperatures than conventional lighting, they still require radiators to dissipate heat.
Drawing on the rich experience of the Green light team of engineers in related high-power LED lighting and cooling structures, the All Areas series adopts air convection cooling technology combined with the special heat transfer characteristics of cooling materials. Easier to remove heat from the PCB and maintain a constant internal temperature of 70°C. Special light loss compensation technology is adopted to ensure ultra-low light decline of 0% within 5 years.
Compared with the traditional halogen lamp LED light has more advantages
- LED lights are more energy saving :LED lights replace the traditional lamps widely used at present, it is the general trend. LED lights, under the premise of the same lighting effect, more than 80% energy saving than traditional lamps! LED lights save as much electricity as one Of the three Gorges power stations in China.
- LED lights are more conducive to environmental protection: because LED lights have no ultraviolet and infrared light in the spectrum, neither heat, nor radiation, small glare, and waste can be recycled, no mercury element, belongs to the typical green lighting source, environmental protection benefits are better.
- LED lights are more technical: they have gradually been combined with AI technology. Compared with the luminescence and heating effect of traditional lamps, LED lights add more intelligent technology. It covers computer, image processing technology, network communication, embedded control technology, etc. For example, all kinds of popular LED lights have Bluetooth control.
- In the US, the average hourly cost of running stadium lights for four hours a night and 15 nights a month is $400 per month for LED lights ($800 for metal halides). Choosing LED lights can save a lot of money. The original cost of the LED lights is slightly higher, but the savings on electricity and maintenance will pay for themselves quickly.
