The product has been successfully installed in more than 20 countries/regions around the world, significantly improving energy efficiency and lighting experience.
Sports Stadium LED Lighting
Sports stadiums typically refer to large outdoor or semi-outdoor stadiums, such as football fields, baseball fields, track and field, and multi-purpose event venues that can accommodate thousands to tens of thousands of spectators. They are not merely sports venues, but modern public space that integrate competition, performance, broadcasting, and city image. Our high mast LED floodlights provide powerful luminous flux output and precise field coverage, meeting various installation height and illuminance requirements, making them the best choice for sports stadium LED lighting.
LEDRHYTHM - Glare Control for Indoor LED Sports Lighting
Glare is a very common problem in lighting, especially in sports lighting where people are constantly moving. It can not only interfere with judgment and reaction speed, but also cause visual fatigue and momentary blindness. This will seriously reduce the sports experience and even affect safety. LEDRHYTHM understands the stringent requirements for comfort in indoor sports lighting, therefore has designed a variety of linear LED lights.
First, linear LED lights have planes light source structure, with LED chips distributed over larger area, resulting in lower brightness at a single point. Compared to point light source, the light is softer and less likely to form strong, glaring light spots. This is especially important for the comfort of sports.
Secondly, the high-transmittance PC diffuser, microprisms, or reflective light-emitting structure hides the LED chip inside the optical system, allowing the light to be diffused or reflected before being output, thus reducing the risk of direct glare from the source.
Finally, some linear LED lights are equipped with anti-glare grilles to further limit glare and prevent light from directly entering the people’s line of sight. All designed to maximize uniform and glare-free light output. No matter how high the ceilings of your indoor sports venue, glare will never be a bother. View all linear LED lights.
LED Indoor Sports Lighting
Indoor sports commonly include various ball games, air-supported dome, swimming pools, etc. Although these venues differ in terms of sports and spatial structure, their lighting requirements are not significantly different. They all require bright, uniform, and visually comfortable lighting effects in high ceilings and large spaces. The light should be as soft and stable as possible, avoiding direct glare and strong shadows. The color temperature should be maintained at 5000K or higher, which not only helps maintain focus but also improves contrast and energy efficiency.
We recommend using linear and round high bay in indoor sports LED lighting. Their regular, compact layout maximizes the elimination of shadows and dark areas, is easy to install and maintain, and is suitable for various ceiling heights. LED floodlights can also be used in indoor sports fields for lateral supplementation or focused lighting of specific areas; equipped with precise optical lenses, they do not cause interference.
In practical LED solutions, professional indoor sports lighting systems not only focus on the performance of fixtures, but also utilize lighting design app to simulate illuminance distribution under different combinations of installation heights, spacing, and beam angles at the early stages of the project. This allows for early verification of the brightness and uniformity of different areas of the indoor sports venue, preventing issues such as localized over-brightness or insufficient light after installation.
LED Outdoor Sports Lighting
LED outdoor sports lighting creates safe, professional, and vibrant competition venues in open, natural environments. At the same time, LEDs offer significant energy savings and greatly improve operational stability. The applications are diverse, ranging from small outdoor basketball, tennis, or pickleball courts to large standard football and baseball fields, each requiring different lighting solutions.
Outdoor sports lighting systems face more severe comprehensive challenges. They must withstand the temperature difference between day and night, resist wind and rain erosion, resist ultraviolet aging, and achieve precise control of light in a wide open space to avoid disturbing the surrounding environment. Slim LED floodlights, with low to medium installation heights, can illuminate small sports venues; modular LED floodlights, with high installation heights, can illuminate medium to large venues.
The layout needs to be systematically designed based on site size, installation height, type of sports, and level of venues. For large-area coverage or long-distance projection, using high-power output and stacking lights on a single pole is the best choice. Compared to traditional metal halide lamp systems, LED solutions for outdoor sports lighting not only have significant advantages in energy efficiency and lifespan, but also support rapid start-up, smart dimming, and zone control, enabling flexible adaptation to different usage scenarios such as training, competitions, and daily open.
