Why do stadium operators need to understand the illuminance standards of common stadiums before they buy LED lamps? Here comes the answer!

Customers often ask, "How much illuminance do our basketball halls, which are usually used for professional competitions, need to meet? What is the difference between the illuminance requirements of those basketball halls used for entertainment and fitness?"

If you want to know the answer, let's listen to Wei Yati, the eldest brother of the sports lighting industry for 12 years.

1. Lighting classification of sports venues

Different use requirements and grades

First of all, we should understand that stadium lighting is divided into 6 levels according to the use needs. Specifically, first class fitness and amateur training; The second level is amateur competition and professional training; The third level is professional competition; The fourth level is TV broadcasting of national and international competitions; The fifth level is TV broadcasting of major national and international competitions; Level 6 is HDTV broadcasting of major national and international competitions.

Lighting classification of sports venues

Indeed, even if it is the same stadium, the lighting requirements for LED stadium lamps are different due to different use requirements!

As far as basketball halls are concerned, the illuminance requirements of the same basketball hall, which is used for entertainment and fitness and for professional competitions, are different, as shown in the figure below.

Lighting standard for basketball and table tennis

Basketball halls used for entertainment and fitness only need to meet 300lx, while basketball halls used for professional games need to meet 750lx illumination requirements.

In order to meet different illuminance requirements, the number of LED stadium lamps with the same power will increase with the increase of illuminance requirements. Therefore, understanding the illuminance standards of these common stadiums can provide reasonable lighting for stadium operators, and can also control the lamps and lanterns through the "intelligent light control management system" to light up the number of lamps and lanterns as needed, thus saving unnecessary expenses.

2. Stadium with relay lighting

Need to pay attention to vertical illuminance

Generally speaking, for the first level to the third level of venue lighting, only the horizontal illuminance (Eh) needs to be concerned, while for the fourth level and above of the stadium, because of the need for retransmission, it will involve the main camera lighting (Evmai) and the vertical illuminance (Evaux) requirements of the auxiliary camera lighting. The illuminance requirements will increase accordingly.

In major competitions, the vertical illuminance of the auxiliary camera direction should be the illuminance on the four vertical planes facing the perimeter of the field.

Lighting standard for professional football field

When super high speed camera is required for HDTV to relay major competitions, the vertical illuminance in camera direction shall not be less than 1800lx, and the stroboscopic ratio of site lighting shall not be greater than 6%.

At the same time, when there is television broadcasting, the ratio of the average horizontal illumination to the average vertical illumination should be 0.75-1.8 for the stadium and 1.0-2.0 for the stadium.

3. Specify lighting standards

Optional to more appropriate lamps

As we all know, today's consumers can choose a lot more product categories than before. Businesses need to constantly optimize the way users reach and improve user experience. Only when products resonate with consumers can they have a very strong connection. This connection is the source of consumer loyalty.

Over the past 12 years, Weiyati has been firmly optimistic about the field of LED smart sports lighting. However, if the projects in this field want to develop well, they will not be achieved overnight. They must be run in by experienced teams, core technical barriers, and upstream and downstream partners of the industrial chain for a long time.

If you want to develop your products for a longer time, the quality of your products is the key!

Since 2022, Weiyati will pay more attention to the quality of products. On the one hand, it will improve the material and technology, and on the other hand, the design and development of new products will also be promoted to a new level.

No matter how the macro environment changes, as a sports lighting fixture, Weiyati not only has a high-quality appearance and can fully meet the lighting requirements of different levels, but also integrates smart sports lighting and other technical elements. The "intelligent light control and management system" developed independently today is trying to improve its own lighting products and service experience.

In addition, in terms of channel operation, Weiyati will focus on refined operation. For example, for targeted services for different types of customers, Weiyati will use more new products to serve old customers and increase their diversified experience; It will also attract new customers through some old products that give way to profits and increase their trust in the brand.

Every stadium and gymnasium can not do without real LED lamps, so the landing of the stadium lighting project depends on the lamp manufacturers to provide relatively reasonable prices and value output. The more thoroughly venue operators understand the lighting standards of sports venues, the more accurate the selection of lamps will be, so as to achieve cost reduction and efficiency increase in stadium operations as early as possible.
