LED Golf Course Lighting

Golf originated as a game played on the coast of Scotland in the 15th century. Golfers use sticks or clubs to hit sand dunes instead of balls around them.After 1750, golf evolved into the sport we know today. In 1774, Edinburgh golfers wrote the first standardized rules for the game of golf.

Golf Course Lighting Design Project

The Golf course is the venue for golf. A standard golf course consists of 18 holes, each with a defined number of poles called a par (par) with a par 72. There are tees, fairways, greens and obstacles such as long grass, sand pits and pools.

The general content of the general illumination of the golf course lighting illumination value is what the following authors answer.

1, Golf range lighting hitting Area Illumination

(1) Horizontal illumination of the hitting area: the average horizontal illumination value of the main shot area should be 150Lx or more;

(2) Vertical illumination of the hitting area within a height of 30 m:
a The average vertical illuminance behind the main pole area should be above 100Lx;
b The average vertical illuminance at 100m in front of the hitting area should be above 300Lx;
c The average vertical illuminance at 200m in front of the hitting area should be 150Lx or more.

2, Golf range lighting channel Illumination

Within the total length of the channel, both horizontal and vertical illumination provide good lighting conditions for the rolling hills. The required average illuminance should be above 120Lx. The average vertical illuminance should be 50Lx or more. The vertical illuminance is the average vertical illuminance on the cross section of the effective width within 30 m of the vertical height on the channel.

3, Golf range lighting Putter Green Area Illumination

There must be enough illumination in the green area of the putter. It should also minimize the shadow of the human body produced by the hitter when hitting the ball in multiple directions in the area. The average horizontal illuminance in this area should be above 250Lx.

Application

1.For fields

Mecree GL-SPL series apply to senior stadium, and sport events. Such as golf court, soccer field, cricket stadium, baseball court, construction site, tennis court and so on.

2.Beam angle

For the golf course, the lighting requirements of different areas are completely different.

For example, in the kick-off area, we need to see further away, so the lamps are required to have a narrow beam Angle. In the green area, we need to judge the terrain and distance, so we need some high illumination. At this time, we need the wide beam Angle of the lamp to improve the brightness of the whole area.

The Mecree golf course lighting has 15/20/30/60 beam angle, suitable for all areas of the layout

The beam angle of the golf course lighting is very simple. Wider angles are for short ranges and narrow bean angles are for long distance lighting. Most of clients will choose 10-30Deg for long-range lighting and 45-90Deg for short-range lighting.

MECREE AFL series can match different optics on one 600w or 1200w models to achieve different lighting requirements. 40*85Deg optics can be lighted for the area of short distance around the poles and 30Deg optics can be lighted for long distance to make full use of lighting distribution.

Golf Course Lighting Solution

LED stadium Lighting in the batting area. Behind the main shot area, set the light pole at least 5m away from the hitting area. To use a wide-light golf course lights, the shot area has enough diffused light. At the same time, the led flood light are also considered for distributed installation. In order to reduce or avoid the hitter to create shadows in the hitting area.

The led outdoor sports lighting device here has sufficient vertical illumination in front of the hitting area. Therefore, most of the sports lights are cast to the far side. Make enough illuminance to hit the ball’s flight path and hit zone. It enables the hitter to follow the flight area and the range of the ball with the line of sight.

Illumination Requirements For Golf Range Lighting

1. Tee mark: the vertical and horizontal illuminance are 100LUX, which is easy to watch the ball’s direction, the distance and placement.
2. Hazard and flat road : In order to see the road clearly, horizontal illuminance is 100lux.
3. Green area: To make sure the accurate judgment of the height of the terrain, slope and distance, horizontal illuminance is 200LUX.

Dialux simulation

The arrangement of the light pole and the luminaire should also consider having sufficient horizontal illumination and uniformity. Minimize excessive light and dark changes in illumination.

The installation and projection direction of the LED sport light should be such that the luminaire and the projection direction of the main channel follow the line of sight of the batsman to avoid strong direct glare in the reverse direction. The led flood light on adjacent channels should be protected from direct glare from each other.

Energy Efficiency Calculation

1.Save electricity costs comparison

According to the calculation of 5 hours per day, 1 days and 365 days, the electricity consumption is 1 RMB per hour.
1000WLED projection light: 1.075 kw·h / pcs x 5 hours 365 days * 1 RMB * 60 sets of =117,712.5 RMB=USD17,835.2
2000W metal halide lamp: 2.425 kw·h / pcs x 5 hours 365 days 1 x 60 sets =265,537.5 RMB=USD40,233
The above calculation shows: 1 power saving costs of 60pcs 1000wLED lights.
The 1000w LED projection lamp saves per year than the 2000W metal halide lamp, 265,537.5 RMB -117,712.5 RMB =147,825 RMB=USD22,397.7, saves electricity 56%.
LED 1000W saves electricity charges for two years: 147,825 RMB *2 years =295,650 RMB=USD44,795

2.Reducing carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide emissions are proportional to electricity consumption, so a reduction in total electricity consumption is also a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions.The annual carbon dioxide emissions of a single site are quite large, so when sites around the world switch to LED lighting systems, emissions are well curbed and environmentally friendly.

Conclusion

For Golf count, you must be equipped with the most professional equipment,MECREE will use its own professional to provide you with more suitable led floodlight. If you have more questions or requirement, please inquiry to info@mecree.com. We will reply you within 24 hours.
