LIGHTING IN FOOTBALL

Image
Although today it is common to what we give importance, in its day the lighting of the football fields contributed significantly to the popularization and expansion of the sport and, among other things, was key to the development of the club competition more important in the world: the old European Cup, today Champions League. The first lighting experiment to play a football match dates back to October 14, 1878. With two rudimentary battery-powered poles and dynamos at the Bramall Lane (Sheffield) stadium, it lit up to witness a clash that faced the two teams from the city. That was left in little more than an anecdote since, the insufficient light, the blackouts, and some accidents made it clear that it could not be something permanent. In fact, the English Federation (FA) that was the one who ruled world football in the beginning was the one that delayed the entry into force of artificial light in the country (and therefore in Europe) denying some attempts to use spotlig...

THE STADIUM OF LIGHT

THE PROJECT Promotion to the first division of the Pernambuco Football Championship for Brazilian team Afogados da Ingazeira meant their next season’s home matches could be televised. Bringing in the cameras meant the current lighting in their home stadium of Vianão, completed in 1976, needed some serious updating; and looking good on TV isn’t as simple as you might think. The number, height, and position of the floodlight poles had to be considered carefully, and as the luminaires are continuously exposed to a variety of weather conditions, any solution also had to meet IP66 requirements.  THE SOLUTION Working to a tight budget Brazilian lighting fixture manufacturer Ledax was able to meet the specific demands of the project to satisfy all stakeholders. Customizing some of their existing products Ledax came up with a solution consisting of 30 1000W LED projectors using LEDiL’s CS14130_HB-IP-2X6-W for the main field illumination. Ledoux also added twelve 2000W metal vapor l...

Led lighting for specific sports

Football Recreational football is usually practiced in the afternoon and good lighting ensures players and the public enjoy the game. The fluxes required for football that is not televised are normally smaller than those required for one that is televised. However, the lighting must be of high quality in terms of visual comfort, uniformity, and annoying light prevention. Tennis When installing sports LED lighting on a tennis court, priority number 1 is good visibility. This ensures players good visibility of the ball, regardless of where they are located or the speed of the game. The public can also follow the progress of the match. Rugby In a rugby field, the lighting must provide uniform lighting along with the entire court. The ball needs to be clearly visible to the players and the light should not affect the players, the referees or the public. Hockey In a hockey court, having high levels of fluxes is very important as players are expected to react quickly to...

Different Sports Stadiums

Many professional teams of the most important sports in the United States (such as NHL, NBA, MLB, and NFL) made in their courts and stadiums the change of all their lighting based on metal halogen lamps to LED lighting. The new lighting benefited not only the players but also its audience and maintenance managers. The players enjoy the game under powerful and intense lighting, fans love the shows with bright and powerful lighting and the operations staff loves not having to do so much maintenance and have the control of the lighting that allows you the led lighting. Each sport has a main play area where the level and lighting quality of the stadium is vital for players to focus on the game safely. Quality lighting with a minimum of reflection is also important for viewers and for excellent broadcasting through TV. Generally, each sport has its own lighting requirements and the more advanced the level of competition, the more lux levels are needed. The spaces with a lot of diffusi...
