LED Sports Flood Lights Cut Connected Load By Half On Community And Club Pitches
Fins board has released a family of LED sports flood lights designed to replace metal halide installations on club and community pitches without changing masts, cabling or switchgear. Typical projects see connected load fall by roughly half while illuminance on the playing surface rises to competition level, a combination that shortens payback to two or three seasons.
The range spans 200W to 900W with efficacy up to 185 lumens per watt, and mounting geometry matches common metal halide cross arms for direct swap installation. Because the electrical load falls sharply, existing distribution boards, breakers and feeders usually remain within rating, removing the trenching and feeder upgrade that often dominates a lighting budget.
Control options include photocell input, occupancy sensing and 0-10V or DALI dimming. On training grounds with irregular use, occupancy sensing alone typically removes six to eight hours of full output every week by dropping to a twenty percent standby level when the field is empty, then returning to full power within half a second when players arrive.
Kits are packaged so that a club committee can compare like for like quotations. Each carton includes the bracket, cable gland, safety cable and aiming template, which removes the accessory lines that otherwise appear as separate costs on a tender comparison. For multi-site programmes the same kit format is used across the wattage family, so a district can standardise on one installation method across every ground it maintains.
