Mecree successfully supplied 6 units of 500W LED Floodlights (GL-FL-500W) for a high mast lighting upgrade project in South Africa. The LED fixtures were installed on 30–35 meter high masts at the railway area of the Richards Bay Port coal terminal, replacing outdated 1000W metal halide lamps.

The high mast structures were originally equipped with 1000W metal halide lamps, which suffered from high energy consumption, frequent failures, and long warm-up times. Mecree’s GL-FL-500W LED floodlights provide:
Powerful and uniform illumination
IP67 waterproof protection for harsh outdoor environments
Instant start without warm-up
Long lifespan with minimal maintenance
These features make them ideal for industrial ports, railways, coal yards, and high mast outdoor facilities that operate around the clock.
As part of a safety and security enhancement test, the customer installed 6 units of Mecree LED high mast lights alongside 6 units from another supplier on the same site. After one year of real-world operation:
All 6 floodlights from the other supplier failed completely
All 6 Mecree GL-FL-500W floodlights continued performing perfectly
The customer highlighted that Mecree’s advanced cooling system and premium-quality components ensured stable operation despite the challenging environment, including dust, wind, humidity, and long operating hours.
By replacing the 1000W metal halide lamps with 500W LED floodlights, the customer achieved:
74% reduction in energy consumption
Significantly improved light levels and wider spread
Dramatically reduced maintenance requirements
Expected 20+ years of reliable operation with almost zero maintenance
This upgrade has provided a safer and brighter environment for port operations, boosting both worker visibility and overall site security.
From multiple supplier applicants, Mecree was chosen as the final manufacturer due to product reliability, optical performance, and engineering support. The GL-FL-500W’s thermal management system was a key factor, ensuring long lifespan under continuous heavy-duty operation.
Mecree’s high mast LED floodlights are engineered for:
Ports and container terminals
Railway yards
Industrial zones
Airports
Stadiums and large outdoor venues
With robust IP67 construction, high efficiency, and exceptional durability, they provide a trusted long-term lighting solution for demanding 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.
