What is Flood Light
The floodlight is a point light source that can illuminate evenly in all directions. Its illumination range can be adjusted arbitrarily, and it appears as a regular octahedron icon in the scene. Floodlights are the most widely used light source in the production of renderings. Standard floodlights are used to illuminate the entire scene, and multiple floodlights can be used in the scene to produce better results. The light bulb for shooting is installed in a large reflecting umbrella for use as a high-brightness diffused light source. Although it is indispensable for indoor lighting, it can also be regarded as one of the light sources with good lighting effects for ordinary amateur indoor photography.
Floodlights are not spotlights. Floodlights produce highly diffuse, non-directional light instead of clear beams, so the shadows produced are soft and transparent. When used for object lighting, the rate of light reduction is much slower than when using spotlights. There are even some floodlights with very slow decay that look like a light source that does not produce shadows. The spotlight projects a directional, well-defined beam to illuminate a specific area.
What Are the Applications of LED Floodlights
LED floodlights have a wide range of applications. Because the lamps themselves are waterproof and dustproof, they are commonly used in various indoor and outdoor places, such as: factory workshops, warehouses, corridors, squares, courtyards, communities, schools, petrol stations, exhibitions Pavilions, garages, parks, roads, tunnels, billboard lighting, etc. The selection of the specific lamp type needs to be determined according to the application place. Specific and detailed professional lighting design needs to be achieved by professional lighting engineers.
Taking football field lighting as an example, let’s design a simple lighting solution.
According to FIFA standards, the size of a football field is 105 meters long and 68 meters wide. The international competition field must be rectangular, and the length of the sideline must be longer than the length of the goal line. Length 90-120 meters, width 45-90 meters.
The standard stipulates that the lighting fixtures should be confirmed according to the function of the football field. It is roughly divided into seven levels, with 200 lx for training and entertainment activities, 500 lx for amateur matches, 750 lx for professional events, 250 lx for general TV broadcasts, and HD for large international events. TV broadcast 1500 lx, TV emergency 750 lx.
The lighting fixtures used in the football field are usually 1000W LED floodlights. The specific location of the lights can be installed on the edge of the ceiling of the auditorium and above the poles. The poles are installed on the four sides of the football field, and the lighting fixtures are set according to different football fields. The standard is different to confirm the total number of lights and the size of the power.
Several ways to install football field light poles
1.The light poles are arranged at the four corners of the football field
According to the uniform distribution of the football field, the lights and the four corners of the football field are equipped with 4 sets of lights, and each set of high pole lights is equipped with multiple LED floodlights.
2. Four sets of light cloth and two sides of the football field
Each group of light poles is equipped with multiple LED floodlights, and the power is usually 1000W or 1500W LED lamps.
3. 6 sets of lights on all sides of the football field
6 groups of light poles each assembled with 2 lights
4. Evenly distribute light on all four sides, and each pole is equipped with 8 groups of LED lights.
According to the illumination requirement of 1500lux for HDTV broadcasting of large-scale international competitions, taking the layout of light poles at the four corners of the stadium as an example, the area of the venue is 105*68 meters, the height of the light pole is 25 meters, and the equipped Tachyon lamps are a single 1000W LED floodlight. Lamps, the total number of lamps required is 76, and 19 lamps are hung on each pole, which can meet the lighting needs of the audience.
Features of Tachyon LED Flood lights
Specifications of 1000W LED Flood Light as below:
Features of floodlights
Take Tachyon 1000W LED flood light as an example, its features are as follows:
-
- The radiator material is made of profile aluminum, with a thermal conductivity of 2.0, which has excellent heat dissipation performance, so as to ensure that the heat of the lamp body can be quickly dissipated, thereby extending the service life of the lamp.
- Excellent lamp beads performance. Tachyon uses CREE, Bridgelux and OSRAM and other internationally renowned brand chips as the light source. Its initial lumen can reach 200lm/W, and the overall lighting effect is as high as 170lm/W, which is 3 to 4 times higher than that of traditional HPS or MH. Under the premise of achieving the same illuminance, the power consumed by LED floodlights is only 30%-40% of the power consumed by HPS/MH. In addition, the life of the light source is up to 80,000H, and the stability is good. After using it for more than 8,000H, its luminous flux maintenance rate can still reach more than 80%.
- It has a wide range of applications. In addition to the lighting of football fields, it can also be widely used in public lighting of squares, racetracks, basketball courts, tennis courts, hockey courts, cricket courts, volleyball courts, factories, fishing boats and many other indoor and outdoor places , It can meet the illumination requirements of different places to the greatest extent, achieve high brightness, high uniformity, no glare, no light pollution, and save a lot of electricity expenses for users.
- High protection level, from the lamp beads to the housing adopts advanced double-filling design to achieve IP68 protection level, making Tachyon’s LED floodlights can be widely used indoors and outdoors, can adapt to continuous rainy weather, and can be used for a long time Underwater, excellent performance, safe and reliable.
- Personalized customization of the light-emitting angle, the options available are 15°, 25°, 30°, 45°, 70° and 95°. Different occasions have different lighting needs, so you can choose to customize different light-emitting angles. , Such as building lighting, statue lighting, landscape lighting and other areas that need to highlight part of the main body, you can use 15° or 30° light-emitting angle. For open areas such as squares, stadiums, factories, and roads, 70° or 95° illuminating angles are recommended to ensure that the light covers every corner of this area.
- Customization of color temperature and color rendering index. Different lighting places need different color temperature and color rendering index. General squares, roads, factories and other places need color temperature of about 4000K, color rendering index 65Ra, schools, offices, meeting rooms and other places need color temperature of 5000K, color rendering The index is 80Ra, and the color temperature required by the international large-scale sports competition venue is about 6000K, and the color rendering index needs to be as high as 95Ra. But don’t worry, no matter what kind of occasion, Tachyon can design the most reasonable color temperature and color rendering index for you according to your needs.
