1.Best Baseball Stadium LED Lights
In the past, metal halide lamps used reflectors to focus light and were known for their high lumen output, so they were the most commonly used light source. The lamps used in Major League Baseball stadiums are also metal halides. However, this is before LED lighting has not been used in stadiums. In the past, metal halides could achieve a light efficiency of 80-100Lm/W, which was already the highest light efficiency at that time.
Today's LED stadium lights can reach 160-190LM/W luminous efficiency, which means that 100W LED stadium lights can perfectly replace 200-250W metal halide. The 1000W metal halide is very heavy. It is necessary to control the number of lamps on a 100-foot pole, otherwise it is very unsafe. However, LED stadium lights are light in weight and do not require high wattage. Only 400W-600W can perfectly surpass metal halide lights, and provide more uniform and customizable light, enhancing the line of sight of baseball stadiums and spectators.
Not only that, LED stadium lights do not need to use reflectors, and do not need to be preheated when turned on, which reduces more light loss. In addition, the service life of LED lamps is 50000+ hours, and the maintenance cost is greatly reduced, which means you can get rid of the trouble of replacing all lamps every 1-2 years. LED lights are cost-effective and can save 75% of energy comprehensively.
Obviously, LED lights have become the best lights for baseball stadiums.
2. Lighting requirements for baseball stadium
2.1 Brightness Level
The lighting of the baseball stadium is based on lux, but it does not need to be so demanding for every venue. The daily recreational venue only needs 300 LUX to exercise happily.
casual games: 300 Lux;
Amateur games: 500 Lux
General game: 1000 Lux
Professional games: 1500 Lux
2.2 Light flickering and glare
If the light has glare, it will affect the sight of athletes and spectators. This means it will be unsafe and affect performance. In baseball, the maximum speed of the ball can reach 130 km/h. It is important to choose lighting without flicker and glare.
Baseball is very popular in the United States, Canada and Asia. There are a lot of leagues games every year. In the game, lighting is very important for baseball stadiums or other stadiums. The visibility of athletes and spectators at low-quality lighting venues can also affect the quality of television transmission.
2.3 Illumination uniformity
Uniformity also affects the judgment of athletes. If the field lighting is uneven, it will result in that some baseball fields are too bright and some are too dark. The uniformity of lighting usually reaches 0.4 in the baseball field and 0.5 in the outer field. If the field requirements are higher, it can be Reach 0.6.
2.4 High color rendering
The color rendering affects the true color of the baseball field. If the color rendering is too low, it will affect the game experience and safety. Usually CRI needs to be above 70.
3.How to choose the best LED baseball stadium lighting?
If you want to choose the most suitable LED baseball stadium lights, then you need to understand the following parameters and features.
3.1 Bright enough
Obviously this is necessary, whether it is entertainment or professional baseball stadiums, high-lumen floodlights must be installed.
3.2 High light efficiency
High-efficiency lamps can reduce more electricity bills and use smaller wattages, increasing safety when using high poles.
3.3 Optional Beam angle
The diversified illumination angle is to adapt to different scenes, and the appropriate beam angle can more easily obtain high uniformity and high quality illumination.
3.4 Waterproof and anti-corrosion performance
The baseball field is outdoors, so these two properties are very important. The lamps must at least pass the IP65 waterproof and Salt Spray test.
3.5 Cooling system
An excellent baseball stadium light needs a good cooling system. If it cannot dissipate heat well, the life of the light will be reduced.
3.6 Turn on time
It turns on immediately, and the LED light does not require warm-up time. There is no delay in illuminating the entire baseball field area, which means that it can be quickly restored even if the power is suddenly cut off.
3.7 No stroboscopic lighting
This will affect the experience and safety of spectators and athletes, high-quality LED lamps should be available.
