Football field lighting system is an important schedule to all the people. According to the regulations of FIFA:
For international competition field, the length of the Soccer field is 100~110m , the width is 64~75m , and there should be no obstacle at least 5m outside the bottom line and the side line to ensure the safety of the athletes.
For World Cup finals, the length is 105m, the width is 68m.
For standard football field, the length of football ground is 90-120m, the width is 45-90m.
The quality of football field lighting depends on illumination level, illumination uniformity and glare control degree. For athletes, the lux request level of lighting is relatively low, and the audience’s purpose is to watch the game, lighting requirements are increased with the increase of viewing distance. The degree of glare depends on the density, direction of projection, number of lamps, position of viewing in the competition, ambient brightness and so on. In fact, the number of lamps is related to the number of spectators. Relatively speaking, the training ground only needs to follow simple lighting fixtures, and large stadiums need to install more lamps, by controlling the beam to achieve high illumination, low glare purposes.
Football field lighting is divided into indoor soccer field lighting and outdoor soccer field lighting. Different lighting installation in different places. Lighting standard according to the football field to use a function to determine the standard of illumination. the outdoor ( indoor ) football field illumination standards are divided into seven levels : training and entertainment activities illumination 200lx (300lx), amateur competition 300lx (500lx), professional competition 500lx (750lx), general tv broadcast 1000lx (1000lx), 1400lx (1400lx) for high-definition TV broadcast of large international competitions, 1000lx (750lx) for tv emergency. For illumination standard details, please check below picture.
The light with high uniformity can make the light in the same direction illuminate the same direction when the light in different directions is directed to the competition area to ensure the consistency of the tone of the front and back screens when the camera changes the position and shoots continuously.
MECREE football stadium lights can emit continuous, bright and evenly distributed light without hot spots. The high uniformity of the stadium lights allows everyone (athletes, spectators and broadcasters) to keep an eye on the ball at any time.
Glare is divided into direct glare and reflected glare. Direct glare is caused directly by the luminous body; reflected glare is formed by light reflection from a lamp or other reflective surface. There are three methods for controlling direct glare: selecting light-transmitting materials, controlling the protection angle (shading angle), and arranging the position of the light source reasonably. The main method of controlling reflected glare is to make most of the light on the work surface come from the proper projection direction, that is, the generated directional reflection will not directly hit the observer’s eyes, but will hit the distance or the side. Generally, as long as no light is installed above the observer, the reflected glare can be better eliminated.
In the design of the stadium to control glare, the lamp can be used in conjunction with the high-efficiency reflection system equipped with anti-glare partitions, and the position of the light source can be adjusted according to technical requirements to prevent glare and astigmatism from being effectively limited. Control the projection direction and projection angle on the setting of the aiming point of the lights to limit glare and make the glare index <50.
MECREE SPL series how to control the glare:
A, We use unique secondary optical technology, High transmission glass lens with aluminum alloy reflection cup. the direct light is used multiple times to effectively reduce the spill light , concentrate the light on the field, increased the central light intensity by more than 5 times and greatly reduce the glare.
B, Anti-glare shield design. If the distance between light poles and field is less than 20m. and light pole is short, use anti-glare shield can change the angle of light. Greatly reduced the glare.
C, We can design the lighting distribution according to customer’s spectators position, TV broadcasting position etc.
Whether the arrangement of the lamps and lanterns is reasonable will directly affect the lighting effect and on-site economy. The common way of arranging lights in football stadiums are: four towers, multi-towers, light belts, and light belt light poles mixed type.

When an adjustable floodlight has been installed, the projection position of the lamp should be marked so that the lamp can be easily restored to its original position for future maintenance or repair.
Lighthouses and their foundations conform to relevant local laws and regulations, and no one without authoritative approval can do such work. Ensure that lighting is maintained without danger.
Lighting devices should be cleaned regularly. If the lamps stop working or their functions drop significantly, they should be replaced separately to ensure that the illumination meets the relevant requirements.
MECREE SPL series Football field lights lifetime is up to 100,000 hours, and the light attenuation within 10 years will be less than 5%. It greatly extends the maintenance and replacement time. We provide 10 years of free maintenance. This means that you will pay 0% of the maintenance cost within 10 years.
Mecree lighting for outdoor football stadium of TV relay level is recommended for outdoor pitch lighting. This kind of luminaire has compact and beautiful appearance, small wind resistance coefficient and light weight. The unique design of light distribution curve; speed of light precision, a variety of light distribution, instant start.
Prior to purchasing Mecree led football field lights, our engineer team will provide the Dialux simulation first to ensure the correct light distributions were provided for an even coverage of the arena with the proper amount of light.
Outdoor soccer field needs LED flood lights which can withstand a variety of weather conditions, including strong winds, rain, cold. LED lights also need to be implemented from the surface of the actual bulb area long distances. LED lighting the football filed precise, consistent and effective to avoid light pollution with LED lights can provide to your football field sharp and clear. MECREE LED lighting can also provide a consistent light level across the ball field, ensuring that the ball, line and player are clearly visible to the football match venue due to its daylight color temperature.
