MECREE successfully completed a professional LED lighting upgrade for a hockey field in Chile. The customer replaced outdated 2000W metal halide luminaires with high-efficiency 800W LED Floodlights (GL-FL-800W), achieving superior illumination quality and substantial energy savings.
Table of Contents
Field Size: 91.4 × 55 m
Old Lighting System: 32 pcs × 2000W metal halide
Pole Height: 8 poles × 18 meters
Required Average Illuminance: 300 lux
Installation Date: October 2015
Product Used: 800W LED Hockey Field Lighting (GL-FL-800W)
Quantity Installed: 32 pcs
Beam Angle: 60°
CCT: 5700K
Final Average Illuminance: 350 lux
To assess the lighting effectiveness, the customer first installed 14 pcs of MECREE’s 800W LED floodlights side-by-side with the existing 2000W metal halide fixtures. The test evaluated:
Light intensity
Uniformity across the field
Energy consumption
HD camera performance
Visual comfort for players
The customer reported that the LED results were “amazing and wonderful”, significantly outperforming the metal halide lamps in brightness, clarity, and uniformity.
Following the successful test, the customer placed a second order and installed an additional 18 pcs of 800W LED floodlights, completing the full replacement of all 32 metal halide lamps.
(They specifically chose 800W LEDs—not 1000W—due to the outstanding efficiency and lighting performance.)
By switching from 2000W metal halide to 800W LED technology, the hockey field achieved:
Over 70% reduction in electricity consumption
Increased average illuminance from 300 lux to 350 lux
Better horizontal and vertical visibility
Cleaner, brighter, clearer white light
Much lower maintenance requirements
The LED system provides stable and efficient performance, even during long evening matches.
The GL-FL-800W floodlights deliver flicker-free illumination, making them ideal for:
HD and slow-motion filming
Live broadcasting
High-speed action sports such as hockey
This upgrade significantly enhanced the viewing experience for both athletes and fans.
The customer expressed strong satisfaction, highlighting:
The excellent lighting results from the initial test
The improved visibility and safety on the hockey field
The dramatic energy savings compared to metal halide
The professional broadcast-ready lighting quality
They are now playing under top-tier stadium lighting, enjoying world-class visibility and long-term reliability.
MECREE continues to provide advanced LED stadium lighting solutions for hockey fields, football pitches, multi-sport arenas, and large outdoor facilities worldwide. Our GL-FL-800W floodlights offer powerful performance, exceptional durability, and leading-edge optical design for professional sports environments.

MECREE has launched the following series of LED Sport Stadium Lighting:
MECREE’s specially engineered precision lighting control is designed to meet the needs of such users. The polarized light range of 65-73° is defined as the P73-L and A65 series products, which deliver an unparalleled visual experience while offering access to thousands of IES profiles.
Our precisely engineered optics of polarized light aim light directly onto the field of play, to shine uniformly and to minimize glare. Outdoor venues benefit from spill light control, no more skyglow and no more complaints from the neighbors.
1. Such light shield is useless,just misleading customers.
2. As tested it will cause 30% reduction of light output
3. While 70% still have high overflow
4. Unbearable strong glare
5. Waste energy,outdated reflective technology
The power supply and lamp body can be mounted separately, reducing the withstand weight of the lamp pole and facilitating maintenance.
Customized crossarms are available to meet all your existing old poles without replacing the main rod, crossarms bolt directly to light pole, easy and accurate installation saves time, ensures performance, safety and reliability,also lower the budget.
In current sports lighting projects, high-altitude light calibration is recognized as a major efficiency bottleneck. The process carries high safety risks, is prone to aiming deviations, and involves cumbersome installation and removal procedures, making it difficult to achieve the required uniformity.
MECREE’s innovative laser aiming mount was designed precisely to address these issues. It revolutionizes the workflow through three key advantages:
Easy Installation: With a simple design, it allows rapid mounting and dismounting, significantly lowering the operational threshold.
Precise Aiming: Ensures accurate laser alignment, fundamentally guaranteeing uniform illumination and compliance with lighting standards.
Efficient Operation: Reduces labor and time costs by up to 80%. Calibrating 200 fixtures at height previously took 20 days; now the same workload can be completed in just 4 days.
Choosing MECREE means choosing a safer, more precise, and highly efficient sports lighting solution.
