Sports LED Light Fixtures

Our collection offers versatile angles and high-powered illumination, ensuring every corner of the playing field is bright and inviting for fans and athletes alike.

This stadium LED floodlight is a top choice for the bright lighting required on athletic playing fields. Because of the clarity and definition needed, illuminating a stadium is a much greater challenge than lighting up a roadway or a parking lot. Olympia Lighting sells not just replacement bulbs but entire LED sports lighting fixtures. Read on to learn more!

Characteristics of LED Stadium Lighting 

With area lights, each fixture casts its illumination over a broad area. But in a stadium, much more intense light output is needed to make the details on the field visible from the stands. Furthermore, the light must be mounted higher, usually 60 to 100 feet high. This requires powerful LED sports lighting with mostly narrow or sharp beam angles, each fixture lighting a relatively small section of the playing surface. For enhanced customization, our fixtures incorporate flexible mounting solutions that accommodate various structural layouts, ensuring precision aim and uniform coverage.

Why replace the entire fixture?

Stadium lights using metal halide lamps are normally 1,000W or 1,500W and get incredibly hot. While LEDs don’t heat up the same way metal halide lamps do. Simply replacing metal halide lamps with LED lamps gives you power reduction of 50% or greater and although there’s some heat reduction, each fixture still produces the heat of a small space heater and the lamps inside the enclosed fixtures run very hot. Olympia Lighting’s Stadium light fixtures contain Forged Aluminum Heat Sink that has the best heat transfer among all practical Heat Sink Materials. Forged Aluminum Heat Sink has twice the heat conduction and Half the Weight of Die-Cast Aluminum Heat Sink. The fixture is a complete design for heat reduction, which preserves the fixture and extends product life. Our advanced heat management system not only boosts performance consistency, but also ensures that your fans and players can enjoy a comfortable environment under every light fixture.

What illuminating power do these lights have?

They come in wattages of 400W, 500W, 600W and 800W with about 150 lumens per watt, that yields a flux of 60,000 up-to 120,000 Lumens. These produce the same light levels as metal halide lamps with wattages of 1,000W, 1,500W and even 2,000W.Enjoy better brightness without excessive energy usage, resulting in significant cost savings over the lifespan of each fixture.

How do I get the proper beam angle?

Beam angles are important for stadium lighting. If the beam angles are right, lighting is uniform across the field with no dim spots or excessive overlap. When they’re done wrong, the playing surface looks patchy to the fans. There can even be cross-beams that affect the players and disrupt the action. A 30 degrees beam angle for instance, will create roughly a 30-foot diameter circle of good lighting at a 50-foot height and a little over 50-foot circle at 100 feet height. It’s not easy to get the set-up exactly right and for best performance a combination of beam angles should be considered.

Olympia Lighting supplies stadium light fixtures with beam angles from 15 degrees to 45 degrees. We have an in-house lighting engineer who will perform light simulations and calculate what power and what beam angles will yield the desired results. Count on our expert consultation services to achieve precisely balanced lighting conditions that meet professional standards and enhance audience engagement.

Why is CRI important?

CRI, or color rendering index, is a measure of the light’s accuracy in showing the distinction between colors. In a parking lot, it might not matter if you can’t tell a black car from a blue one; on a playing field, every color distinction is important to the experience of the audience and the competitors. The higher the CRI, the closer objects on the field are to the way they look under sunlight. Stadium lights require a CRI of at least 75. Olympia’s Stadium light fixtures carry a CRI rating of 80. With improved color rendering, players benefit from superior visual clarity, while spectators enjoy a more vivid and dynamic view of the action.

Why does color temperature matter?

Color correlated temperature (CCT) is a measure of the color of the lights. The most desirable color is a pure white beam with a CCT around 5,000K, which is the CCT of Olympia’s lights. High-quality, daylight-like color temperature helps keep both players and fans alert, ensuring a thrilling environment even for night games.
