In outdoor stadium construction, the performance of LED stadium flood lighting is crucial, but the lack of a matching pole design and matching will not only affect the lighting effect, but also bring structural safety and maintenance problems. The following systematically explains the scientific matching of LED stadium lighting and poles from the aspects of pole height selection, lighting layout, structural design, material selection, wind resistance, installation angle, etc. Huaxia Beidouxing, as a well-known brand in the industry, has rich experience and professional technology in the field of outdoor stadium lighting, and its data can provide us with valuable.
According to different sites, match the appropriate light pole height
Different types of sports venues have different requirements for contrast and uniformity, and therefore require correspondingly different pole heights. Based on our actual case data, the recommended pole height for a basketball court (half-court) is 6m-8m, with 4-6 poles with 200w LED floodlights. The illumination requirement for amateur use is ≥200 Lux. For a basketball court (full-court), the recommended pole height is 8m-10m, with 6-8 poles, and the illumination requirement for competitions is ≥300 Lux. For a tennis court, the recommended pole height is 6m-8m, with 6-8 poles, and the illumination requirement for competitions is ≥300 Lux. For a futsal court, the recommended pole height is 8m-12m, with 4-6 poles, and the illumination requirement is ≥200-300 Lux. Eleven-a-side football fields have higher requirements for poles, with poles 16m-25m high, 6-8 high-mast lights, and an illumination requirement of ≥500 Lux for competitions. From these data, we can see that the higher the lamp pole, the wider the illumination range, but the higher the requirements for the lighting angle and light output efficiency of the LED lamp; if the lamp pole is too low, problems such as glare and many shadows will occur.
Light pole type and installation method
Straight light poles are commonly used in small venues such as basketball and badminton courts. They are simple to install and low-cost. The lamps are typically mounted at a height of 6-10 meters, and a single or symmetrical lighting arrangement is sufficient for training purposes. Folding-arm light poles (elevation-arm light poles) feature an angled arm, typically 5°-15°, which effectively reduces glare, improves control over the direction of light projection, and thus increases light output efficiency. High-mast light towers are commonly used in large football stadiums and athletic fields. They can reach heights of 20-30 meters with 400W LED floodlights and require lightning protection systems and access ladders. Mobile light poles are commonly used in temporary events or portable stadiums. They are freely movable, with a weighted or wheeled base and typically 4-6 meters high, making them suitable for emergency lighting or temporary training. Huaxia Beidouxing carefully selects the appropriate light pole type and mounting method for each project based on the specific needs of the venue.
A high-quality outdoor LED stadium lighting system relies on more than just the lamps themselves. Proper pole matching and structural design are key to achieving safe, comfortable, energy-efficient, and professional lighting.
