With people's love for sports activities and pursuit of healthy life, more and more sports venues are rising. Choosing appropriate lighting fixtures for these sports venues is not only related to the use of the venues, but also to the visual experience of athletes and spectators. We'll discuss how to select and install the right sports field lighting
1. Understand the types of sports fields and lighting requirements
Different sports field types have different lighting needs. For example, outdoor venues such as basketball courts, football fields and tennis courts have higher lighting requirements. They need lamps to provide uniform and sufficient light to ensure that athletes and spectators can clearly see the game at all times. Indoor venues such as swimming pools and skating rinks require lamps to provide sufficient lighting intensity to ensure that athletes can get good visual perception in the water or on ice.
2. Choose the appropriate type of lighting fixtures
LED lamps have the advantages of energy saving, environmental protection, long life, small size, etc., and are currently one of the mainstream lamps for sports field lighting. The brightness and color temperature of LED lights can be adjusted as needed, making them suitable for different types of sports competitions and performances.
LED light beam angle: wide beam (football field) or medium beam (basketball field), matching the size and height of the sports field.
LED light protection level: IP655/IP67 waterproof, dustproof and waterproof, suitable for outdoor environments.
LED light control: Dimmable, intelligent control (DMX512, wireless) improves flexibility.
3. Sports field lighting installation design layout
•Lamp pole position calculation, consider uniformity, shadows, glare, and avoid direct line of sight of athletes.
•The height accuracy and beam angle are determined to avoid glare and halo caused by too low height.
•The installation position of the lamps should be reasonable, and try to avoid the light shining directly into the sight of athletes and spectators, so as not to affect the visual effect.
•Precisely adjust the light angle
The projection angle and brightness of the light must be accurately adjusted according to the competition needs and the athlete's sight angle to ensure that the light can accurately illuminate the competition area.
•Regular maintenance and upkeep
Regularly check the condition of lamps and replace damaged bulbs or tubes in a timely manner. At the same time, the outside of the lamp should be cleaned regularly to keep it clean and hygienic to extend the service life of the lamp.
Selecting and installing sports field lighting is a professional process that involves multiple links. Considering the initial design investment and long-term operating costs, it is recommended to consult lighting design experts or manufacturers to ensure that the plan meets the actual needs of the site and achieves the best results.
