How to quickly understand a complex sports lighting design scheme?

There are often customers who ask for the price of lamps and lanterns when they don't have the requirements of drawings and stadium lighting. In fact, this is a very difficult thing for most businesses.

Some people may say that others just want a price, and a direct quotation is enough.

But it's not that simple.

1. The matching lamps are different due to different use requirements

As mentioned in the previous article, because of different use requirements for the same type of stadium and gymnasium, even if the same type of lamps are used, there will be differences in power, number of lamps used and angle of lamps.

But it's not that simple.

1. The matching lamps are different due to different use requirements

As mentioned in the previous article, because of different use requirements for the same type of stadium and gymnasium, even if the same type of lamps are used, there will be differences in power, number of lamps used and angle of lamps.

Number of lamps and description of light source

With this form, customers can know the specific number of lights used, the installation height and the total lumen of the light source in the entire basketball stadium.

In this figure, there is also a question that customers often ask, that is, maintenance coefficient.

Maintenance factor: the ratio of the average illuminance or average brightness of the lighting device on the specified surface after a certain period of use to the average illuminance or brightness obtained on the specified surface when the device is newly installed under the same conditions.

In simple terms, the average illumination effect of lamps will generally decline after a period of use, or there will be installation errors due to the differences in installation environments, so the commonly used maintenance system in the industry is usually 0.8. That is to say, if the average illuminance of the lamp is 500 lux during installation, and the average illuminance becomes 400 lux after a period of use, it is also within the reasonable maintenance range.

The secondary lighting standard of basketball stadium is 500lux

Therefore, from the perspective of long-term operation, customers usually hope to make the average illuminance higher than the standard value as much as possible during design, so that the average illuminance can still be maintained within the normal range even if the lamps have been used for many years. Of course, the number of lamps will also be slightly more.

Luminaire location plan

In this project, the lamps are arranged on both sides, and 15 sets of lamps are installed on each side.

3D rendering

The 3D effect picture can let you see more stereoscopically, such as immersing yourself in the scene.

Pseudo color representation

The pseudo color representation map is a simulation of the color standard and the actual lighting effect. Customers can find the main illumination level range of the venue according to the color contrast between the upper and lower levels.

If you are not familiar with the sports lighting design scheme through the above pictures, the values calculated from the grid value table below can fully reflect whether the illuminance level of the lamps you selected meets the lighting standards at a glance.

Grid Value Table

As shown in the above figure, the average illuminance of the stadium has met the 500lux illuminance standard, reaching 568lux, fully meeting the customer's illuminance requirements.

When we buy sports lighting fixtures, we actually buy the light distribution effect. Only when appropriate lighting fixtures are installed in corresponding stadiums and gymnasiums, can high-quality light environment be illuminated, so that all athletes can exercise without hindrance.

3. What the customer cares about is value or price

Why do some customers only want the unit price of the product when they come to you for quotation, but they are not willing to provide the project name and drawings. What the customer cares about is the value or the price?

The answer is, value.

Although price is important, most stadium operators consider how to buy high-quality and inexpensive LED stadium lamps as the lighting devices of the stadium.

For these stadium operators, what they need is not only a high-quality lighting environment, but also low energy consumption lamps to meet the lighting needs, so as to make plans for reducing costs and increasing efficiency in the long-term operation of the stadium.

Therefore, it would be a good choice to choose Weisi Lighting, the eldest brother of sports lighting in the manufacturing city of Dongguan for 12 years.

Not only its own factory, but also its own brand Weiyati. Its main products are the current mainstream LED stadium lamps.

In 2022, affected by various comprehensive factors, both user growth, profits and revenue will begin to slow down. In this environment, apart from the original business channels, Weiyati is constantly looking for new user increments, and the growth operation is transitioning from the pursuit of "quantity" to the pursuit of "quality".

In Weiyadi's view, there are many ways to break through the sports lighting in the future. However, it needs a long process, mainly including the following three main development directions:

The first is the normalization of LED stadium lighting fixtures.

Nowadays, it is normal for LED stadium lighting lamps to replace traditional metal halide lamps in major stadiums and gymnasiums. Because traditional metal halide lamps generally take a long time to turn on and consume a lot of electricity, the upgrading of lighting devices is a key link in the sports venues to enable sports enthusiasts to stimulate sports interest and to find ways to make the sports environment more high-quality.

The second is the subdivision and specialization of sports lighting.

At present, the subdivision and specialization of lighting fixtures are relatively obvious. Unlike commercial lighting and household lighting, sports lighting has its own industry specific lighting requirements and professional standards. Because it is an inevitable choice for stadiums and gymnasiums to use professional LED stadium lighting fixtures.

The third is the diversification of sports lighting.

In addition to the common stadium dedicated chandeliers, the sports lighting devices are also divided into projection lights, panel lights, etc. LED stadium lighting fixtures will be further diversified in the future.

Under the general trend of professional development of sports lighting industry, the market scale will become larger and larger in the future! We need not only confidence, but also heart and patience.
