Sports Space and Lighting

The horizontal illuminance of ground movement is more important, mainly because the light distribution on the ground is required to be uniform, and the space movement requires that the light distribution must be very uniform within a certain space from the ground.

Motion Direction and Lighting

In addition to good horizontal illuminance, multi-directional sports events also require good vertical illuminance, and the direction of football field lights must avoid direct glare to athletes and spectators.

Motion Speed and Lighting

Generally speaking, the higher the movement speed, the higher the football field lighting requirements, but the illuminance required for high-speed movement in one direction is not necessarily higher than that for low-speed movement in multiple directions.

Motion Level and Lighting

Generally, the higher the competition level of the same sport, the higher the required football field lights lighting standards and indicators. The level of competition is different, the level of athletes is also very different, and the lighting level requirements are also different.

Sports Field Range and Lighting

For general sports events, in addition to the sports competition venue, the lighting of the main activity area must also reach a certain illuminance value, and the secondary activity area also has a minimum illuminance value requirement.

Color TV broadcast and lighting

With the development of color TV technology, high-definition digital TV (HDTV) broadcast has officially entered the technical category of international sports competitions. The illuminance change rate of football field lights between athletes, venues and audience seats must not exceed a certain value, so as to meet the camera requirements of color TV.

With the advent of LED light sources, although the cost of LED light sources is higher than that of metal halide lamp products, they are advocated by all walks of life to replace metal halide light sources because of the relatively low environmental pollution in terms of production processes and raw materials used in production. Now all venues use LED as the light source, and most of them use 200W-1000W lamps, which have high light efficiency (about 100~1101m/W), high color rendering, and color temperature between 5000-6400, which can meet high-definition Color television (HDTV) requirements for outdoor lighting. Generally, the life of the light source is above 5000h, the efficiency of the lamp can reach 80%, and the dustproof and waterproof level of the lamp is not less than IP55. The protection level of the commonly used high-power floodlights can reach IP65.

The lighting design of the football field is characterized by large lighting space and long distance, so high-efficiency floodlights are generally used for field lighting. This 300W Stadium Lighting Adjustable Angle LED Flood Light from Tianxiang is specially made for football stadiums to meet the lighting requirements of football stadiums.
