With the rapid improvement of LED (Light Emitting Diode) technology in recent years, we can now confidently replace old-style HID (Metal Halide and SON) floodlights. While these traditional lamps have served us well, their high running costs and maintenance requirements are making them a thing of the past. Inefficient lamps are gradually being phased out in favor of energy-efficient LED solutions, and it is only a matter of time before 1–2 kW Metal Halide lamps follow suit.
Many councils and sports clubs are switching to LED lighting because of its long-term cost savings. While some may still opt for Metal Halide to reduce initial costs, they often overlook the significant benefits of LED lighting over time.
In the early days, LED lighting was plagued by cheap imports rushed to market. Many high-power LED products failed quickly or did not meet expected performance, creating major problems for clubs and venues—sometimes requiring lights to be replaced shortly after installation.
Case Study:
A Russian baseball field project illustrates this perfectly. The customer had completed the field one month prior, but the illumination failed to meet expectations. Their supplier promised to resend lamps, but adding extra lights was impossible due to newly installed poles and cable limitations.
Problems observed: High glare, low uniformity
Solution: Replace all lights and some cabling, incurring additional labor and equipment costs
Impact: Project delays, disrupted competitions, compensation claims, and damaged reputation
This highlights an essential point: before starting any project, consider what will happen if illumination requirements are not met. Choosing a reliable supplier is often more important than the product itself.
We designed a DIALux simulation for this customer according to their requirements:
Poles: 6
Height: 22 meters
Fixtures: 50 × GL-SPL-1000W
Average illuminance: 452 lux
Customer feedback after installation:
“We installed the lights, and it looks great. My best comments to you so far. We are still testing, and I can give more detailed feedback in winter. If it goes well, we will place our next order soon.”
What is the Secondary Optical Design? This is MECREE’s latest optical technology, specifically for large stadiums and long-distance lighting. Unlike standard optics that rely only on reflective cups (which create straight light and unwanted afterglow), MECREE combines:
Aluminum reflective cups
Secondary optical lenses
High-permeability reinforced tempered glass
This design:
Minimizes spill light and glare
Uses linear light multiple times to reduce residual light
Enhances central light intensity by more than 5×
MECREE’s expertise goes beyond producing high-power LEDs. We provide complete, reliable project solutions. For any sports lighting project, contact us at info@MECREE.com or click here to learn more about our GL-SPL Series LED Stadium Lights.
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.
