In two or three days, the long-awaited National Day holiday will arrive, with a seven day break. Of course, everyone is planning where to go! Well, my friend WeChat group has a god who organized everyone to play play badminton. This time, he emphasized the change of venue. As a result, the venue was half more expensive than usual. It was quite far away, so everyone was not happy. Da Shen gave an explanation: the lighting there is particularly good, and the installed lighting fixtures are professional LED badminton court lights. The lighting is soft, and no matter how long the ball is played, the eyes will not feel dry and the head will not feel dizzy. In the previous field, the lighting was dazzling and uneven, and sometimes the ball flew somewhere without knowing.
The explanation given by Dashen has sparked a strong interest in the application of LED in sports lighting, as I have prior knowledge of LED lights. This time, I conducted a systematic study and research on LED lights from the application of sports lighting. Below, I will share with you the practical application of LED in sports lighting!
Sports venues are mainly used for sports activities and are compatible with various applications such as literature, gatherings, exhibitions, etc.
Due to its special functional positioning, the demand for lighting is significantly higher than other functional lighting venues, especially large competition venues that must meet the functional needs of athletes, the audience’s demand for enjoying the game, and provide high-quality television images for television broadcasting agencies and a fair lighting environment for judges, achieving safety, applicability, economic rationality, advanced technology, energy conservation and environmental protection. The special characteristics of sports venues make LED stadium specific lights the preferred choice for sports lighting, as they can perfectly solve the problems of glare and overflow light in the lighting industry.
Glare refers to the visual phenomenon where the brightness distribution or brightness range in the field of view is inappropriate, or there is extreme brightness contrast that causes discomfort or reduces the ability to observe details and targets. So glare in sports competitions can have a significant impact on athletes, directly affecting their physical performance.
Spillover light refers to the portion of light that illuminates other objects or areas beyond the intended illumination range, whether direct or reflected. External light interference has also become a major source of complaints from residents around sports venues.
The control of glare and overflow light is a difficult problem in sports lighting, and how to effectively evaluate glare and overflow light has become a challenge. Different lighting technologies and lighting designs have significant differences, resulting in vastly different outcomes.
In terms of dealing with glare and overflow light, “wandanplus” products are particularly trusted because there is a wandanplus project at “Guangzhou Olympic Sports Xin’an Football Park”. Due to the proximity, I have been there many times. Their LED lighting fixtures are really designed professionally according to the characteristics of different stadiums. This time, I summarized the characteristics of wandanplus LED lights:
1) Wanda Plus is a lighting fixture designed specifically for different stadium characteristics, rather than simply replacing traditional light sources;
2) Wandanplus’s reasonable light distribution design achieves effective control over light;
3) Wandanplus advanced optical technology, built-in anti glare and anti overflow light devices, uniform light distribution, reducing glare in the venue;
4) Wandanplus reasonably determines the working power of LED light sources to control their central light intensity
