A Brief Analysis of the Lighting Standard of Football Pitch

Brief Introduction

Football is a highly competitive collective sports event, and it is a popular sport in the world. The history of football development is enough to illustrate the vitality and influence. According to FIFA regulations, the length of the football field is 105-110m and the width is 68-75m. There must be no obstacles at least 5m outside the bottom line and sideline of the stadium to ensure the safety of the athletes.
Football lighting is divided into indoor football field lighting and outdoor football field lighting, and the way of installing lights is different in different venues. The standard should be based on the function of the football field to determine the lighting standard, divided into seven levels, training and entertainment activities illumination 200lx, amateur competition 500lx, professional competition 750lx, general TV broadcast 1000lx, large international competition HD TV broadcast 1400lx, TV emergency 750lx.
In the past, traditional football stadiums generally used 1000W and 1500W metal halide lamps or floodlights. Due to the glare, high energy consumption, short life, inconvenient installation, poor color rendering, and insufficient actual brightness, it is difficult for traditional lamps to meet the lighting requirements of modern stadiums.
The lamps used in the football field are generally high mast lights or flood lights. The lamps can be installed on the edge of the stand ceiling or above the pole, which is installed around the stadium. Almost every game needs to use live broadcast technology, which also puts forward higher requirements for football stadium lighting.

Football field lighting requirements related to competition

1.  the lighting fixtures is generally not allowed to be installed directly above the field,
2. There is an area in the football field that does not allow the installation of lamps. It is mainly aimed at the position where the lighting will adversely affect the main line of sight during the game,
3. installation position and projection angle of lighting fixture on football field should avoid glare to football players,

4. Prevent direct light from lighting fixtures from affecting the players and the audience

the advantages of Intelligent Stadium Lighting System

1. Significantly improve management efficiency,
2. Guarantee the safety of sports lighting,
3. reach secondary energy-saving easily,
4. Light switch mode. Through the intelligent lighting system, the football field lighting is more professional, thus meeting the lighting needs of many football fields.

Ten advantages of professional stadium LED sports lighting

1. The professional LED stadium lamp radiator adopts aluminum heat dissipation technology and high thermal conductivity material. This technology and material can reduce energy consumption and reduce the weight of the lamp, reduce the cost of transportation, especially the thermal conductivity is more excellent, while the ordinary LED uses generally die-cast aluminum which has poor heat dissipation performance and also increases the weight of the lamp body.
2. The light source and power supply of professional LED sports lights are imported international first-level brands, which are customized for different projects and cannot be mass-produced. Ordinary LED lamps are mass-produced. The light source and power supply do not meet the parameters of stadium lamps and cannot be used directly on the stadium. Tachyon Optoelectronics has the professional, standardized, industrialized and large-scale production experience and ability of lighting, which can meet the lighting needs of various sports venues.
3. Professional LED sports lamps are free of maintenance for more than three or five years, without any maintenance cost, the effect and quality are more guaranteed.
4. Professional LED sports special lamps have constant illuminance technology, illuminance level and uniformity remain constant for 50000 hours.
5. The color temperature of special lamps for professional LED sports stadiums is tailor-made for various types of stadiums, making athletes, referees and spectators more comfortable. Tachyon Optoelectronics has a number of optical patents and light distribution methods that can best meet the lighting requirements of the stadium.
6. A modern indoor stadium, in addition to having a good lighting environment, lighting intelligent control system is also indispensable, but ordinary LED lamps have no intelligent control system in the sports industry. while the LED lighting specialized for sports field is very mature in intelligent control system. The intelligent lighting system can realize training and entertainment mode, amateur game mode, professional game mode, TV broadcast mode, and can also be linked with other subsystems of intelligent buildings. The control operation is simple and can be controlled on the computer and mobile terminal, which improves the management level of the gymnasium, reduces maintenance costs, has good energy saving and emission reduction effects, effectively extends the life of the lamps, and achieves a variety of lighting control effects.
7. In professional comprehensive gymnasiums, there are often sports competitions with different items. Various sports events have different requirements for the parameters of stadium lamps. The requirements for a certain badminton court lamps and fencing court lamps are many different. It is necessary to take into account the requirements of different competition venues, and to develop and produce according to different stadium conditions. The input cost is high, the raw material requirements are high, and the price is also very expensive.
8. The color rendering index of professional LED sports lamps is greater than 80, which makes the colors more realistic, restores the true beauty of the stadium, and can meet the requirements of TV broadcasts, while ordinary LED fixtures is blurred and distorted.
9. Professional LED sports lamps use a professional light distribution system point-by-point light distribution system, the energy-saving effect is more prominent, a variety of light distribution designs to achieve precise light distribution, not only can achieve lighting effects, more uniform illumination, ordinary LED lighting effects Either it is too bright, too dazzling, or not bright enough, there will be obvious dark areas, uneven lighting.
10. The professional LED sports lamps have no light pollution, spillover and glare control, and professional light distribution design can effectively prevent spillover and glare and reduce the spillover by more than 37% on general venues. The ordinary LED lamps are scattered, and there are lights everywhere, which is prone to disturb the people.To sum up, professional LED sports lamps and fixtures have invested a lot of manpower, material and financial resources from R&D to production. All raw materials are of the highest quality, and some raw materials are still rare items. Therefore, high-quality raw materials and professional R&D , Special production process has created excellent quality of products.
