According to a recent survey by the national federation of state high school associations (NFHS), 7.9 million American students now compete in high school track and field, a record 29 years in a row. As participation and support for every sport from football to rugby, hockey and track and field grows, so does the need and expectations for sports facility design.
High school sports facilities are being used like never before.They are hubs of community activity, and with them come new needs and challenges.New industry trends ensure that high school sports facilities are as user – and spectator friendly as large professional stadiums that students are eager to attend.Today we’re going to talk about sports field lighting for high schools.
Lighting technology
For decades, large metal halide lights hung over high school sports facilities, boldly illuminating the field for long periods as night fell. But as LED technology becomes cheaper, professional playgrounds are following suit, switching in droves at high school playgrounds.
LED sports lighting fixtures are still expensive to start with, but they cost less to maintain over the long term, and they have longer life spans and more functionality.
It takes at least five minutes for the metal halide lamp to warm up and reach its maximum brightness, consuming and wasting very high amounts of energy. LED sports floodlights reportedly use 60 to 80 percent less energy and can be turned on instantly.In addition, they provide a more uniform source of light similar to sunlight, thus improving security, visibility and broadcast quality.
MECREE GL-SPL series LED sports lighting design aims to solve the problems of slow start-up, high energy consumption, low power factor, high working temperature, light fading, short life, ultraviolet radiation, non-waterproof and difficult maintenance of traditional lamps for high schools.

There are numerous benefits if you transform the metal halide, halogen and also fluorescent lights with LED. Before doing the replacement, we can have a look at the following incentives.
The difference in between LED lighting and traditional HID lamps is energy conserving and environmental management. Typical fluorescent tubes have large amounts of mercury vapor. As soon as broken, mercury vapors are launched right into the environment and also create pollution. MECREE LED lamp does not use mercury at all, as well as LED products do not include lead, mercury as well as various other damaging substances, and can be recycled. Besides, LED has 30% higher luminescent performance than fluorescent tube, which implies under the very same power intake, LED school lights is brighter.
Our LED is a much safer lights option for school centers because it does not have brittle glass and external shell. It is a far better choice as a result of its water proof design, which is really helpful for high pole football pitch lights for high schools. To reduce the upkeep as well as substitute cost as steel halide as well as fluorescent tube have actually, LED lighting has 90000 hours life cycle at L70. It implies the lumen loss per year is less than 1% per year.
The LED flood lamps will not create ultraviolet radiation and infrared radiation which adds to thermal impact. Consequently, mosquitoes will not be drawn in to our lights. Outdoor hygiene as well as general compliance will certainly be improved.
The traditional fluorescent and also metal halide lamp can not operate generally when the working voltage does not drop within a slim region; nevertheless, the LED lamp can be lighted within a range of AC voltage 95-265V, which is suitable for nearly all sort of class.
The size of LED light is really comparable to the conventional lighting such as HID, halogen and also fluorescent. After retrofitting the classroom lights with LED, the ballast can be gotten rid of as well as thus the convenience is boosted.
