Broadcast-quality. Instant on. Game-ready.
Stadiums, ballparks, tennis courts, tracks, and rec centers. Sports lighting LED retrofits engineered to IES RP-6-22 foot-candle standards with dimming control for practice vs game modes.
The pain points we keep seeing.
Ten-minute warm-up after a power blip means the second half starts in the dark. Modern LED sports fixtures are instant-on every time.
Broadcast cameras need CRI 90+ for accurate color reproduction. Aged metal halide drifts green and makes film look terrible.
IALD research shows substandard sports lighting correlates with a 60% increase in injury rates. Uniformity matters as much as brightness.
Game mode doesn't need to run during practice. Dimming controls can cut energy another 40% beyond the LED baseline on typical practice schedules.
IES RP-6-22 foot-candle minimums.
Sports lighting is governed by IES RP-6-22 which sets minimum foot-candles and uniformity ratios by level of play. Getting this wrong is more than an aesthetic problem — injuries correlate with non-compliant lighting.
- Professional football: 100+ fc, 1.5:1 uniformity ratio
- Collegiate football: 50 fc, 2.0:1 uniformity
- High school football: 30 fc, 2.5:1 uniformity
- Professional baseball infield/outfield: 100/70 fc, 1.2:1 uniformity
