NATATORIUM LIGHTING

What are Natatorium lights?

Natatorium lights are indoor pool lights mounted from above that provides lighting to the pool area. LED Natatorium lights are LED versions of the same named Metal Halide fixtures.

The natatorium lighting design usually considers the repair and maintenance of the lamps. Generally, they are not arranged above the surface of the lamps, but are provided with special maintenance channels above the water surface. For stadiums that do not have TV broadcasting requirements, lamps are often scattered on the water, the roof or the ceiling above the wall for decoration.

For sports venues with TV broadcasts, the lamps are generally decorated with light strips, that is, to decorate the crosswalk above the pool banks on both sides; in addition, it is necessary to install an appropriate number of lamps under the diving platform and springboard to eliminate the formation of jumping platforms and springboards. Shadows and provide key lighting for the warm-up pool for diving sports.

Natatorium lighting LUX level

It should be emphasized that natatorium lighting should not be set on the upper part of the diving pool for diving sports, otherwise the mirror image of the lighting will appear in the water, which will cause light interference to the athletes and affect the judgment and competition ability of the athletes. Therefore, no matter it is diving training or official competition, this kind of lighting should not be used.

BS EN 15288-1 Swimming Pool-Safety Requirements for Design is the European standard for safety design requirements for swimming pools. It contains recommendations on lighting levels.

It is recommended to maximize the use of natural light. Circulation, machine room and dressing area need a uniform 100 Lux. The water area needs a uniform 200 Lux. Allow lower levels, but strengthen supervision

Natatorium lighting requirements

The first task of natatorium lighting is to create a safe environment. In order to create such a safe environment, we should pay attention to the selection and placement of lamps.

The swimming pool receives natural light through windows and artificial light through lamps. Sometimes, the swimming pool is only illuminated by natural light, sometimes by artificial light. Sometimes it can be illuminated by a combination of the two. Another important natatorium lighting controls is dimmer, such as DMX, DALI, 0-10V.

Generally, a light level of 300 lux in a natatorium is sufficient. During the game; may require a lighting level of 500 lux or higher.

How many Natatorium Lights do I need?

There are two ways to look at answering this question. If you have an existing Natatorium, then you may want to do a one-for-one replacement of your lights over to LED.

If you are looking for new lighting or new lighting locations, then creating a Natatorium Lighting Plan will help you determine light locations.

A lighting plan details light locations and provides foot candle readings at specific locations over the pool.

Can LED Natatorium Lights replace Metal Halide?

Yes they are. Our LED Lights can replace Metal Halide and provide you with a high quality long lasting lighting solution. Whether you are looking for ceiling mounted high bays, wall mounted flood lights, or retrofitting your up lights, we have the products and power to brighten any natatorium.

For LED natatorium lights, how to choose the right beam angle?

What is the beam angle?

Beam angle refers to the angle of the light source or lamp, that is, the angle formed by the boundary of a certain intensity range of the beam. Generally, the beam angle on the illuminated surface is directly reflected by the light spot and illumination. Under the same conditions, the larger the beam angle is, the smaller the central light intensity is, the larger the spot is, and the smaller the illumination is. Otherwise, the opposite is true.

How to choose the right color temperature?

Color temperature explains how warm or how cool the football lights look like throughout the human eye,and that’s expressed from the unit named Kelvin (K). It generally scales from 1000 to 10, 000 K. For the standards for the football stadiums, the overall color temperature need to be greater than 4,000 k for all classes. But, it’s suggested that cool white lights (from 5,000 K to 6,000 K) would be the most acceptable option since they’re more invigorating and provide much better lighting effect for players in addition to audiences.
