High Lumen LED Sports Floodlights For 2000W Metal Halide Retrofit Projects

Replacing 2000W metal halide floodlights with LED requires more than a watt-for-watt comparison. Sports lighting contractors should consider existing pole height, fixture positions, pitch dimensions, required lux levels, uniformity and beam distribution when planning a retrofit.

The FORTOMO 40SL LED sports floodlight is available in 500W, 600W and 750W , providing a high-output solution for cricket grounds, football fields, rugby pitches, stadiums and other large outdoor sports facilities.

500W–750W LED For Metal Halide Replacement

The 40SL delivers a stated 150–170 lm/W efficacy , providing high lumen output with lower installed wattage than many conventional metal halide systems. ( sportslight-fortomo.com )

A 2000W metal halide fixture should not automatically be replaced by one LED fixture. The required LED quantity and wattage should be determined through photometric calculations based on the existing lighting layout and target performance.

Flexible Beam Angles

The 40SL offers 25°, 35°, 45° and 55° beam angles , allowing contractors to match the optical distribution to mast height, projection distance and pitch layout. ( sportslight-fortomo.com )

IES photometric files can be used for lighting simulations to evaluate illuminance, uniformity and aiming positions before installation.

Low-Glare Outdoor Sports Lighting

The 40SL is specified with UGR <19 , instant-on operation and no-flicker lighting. It features IP66 protection , UV-resistant lenses and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +45°C . Optional 10kV or 20kV surge protection is available. ( sportslight-fortomo.com )

The fixture also supports 0–10V, PWM, DALI, DMX512 and Synapse control systems for compatible sports lighting installations.

LED Retrofit For Large Sports Grounds

For a 2000W metal halide retrofit, contractors should assess the existing electrical system and lighting columns before selecting the LED configuration. A professional lighting calculation can determine the appropriate wattage, number of fixtures, beam angles and aiming positions.

With 500W–750W output, 150–170 lm/W efficacy, flexible optics, IP66 protection and smart-control options , the FORTOMO 40SL provides a practical solution for high-lumen LED sports lighting retrofit projects worldwide .
