LED Floodlights for County Grounds | High Mast Lighting Solutions

County-level sports grounds require powerful, reliable floodlighting for football, rugby, athletics and other outdoor activities. A well-designed high mast LED lighting system can provide consistent illumination across large playing areas while reducing energy and maintenance requirements.

High Mast LED Floodlights for County Grounds

The FORTOMO 46SL LED High Mast Light is available in 600W, 1000W and 1500W versions, delivering up to 225,000 lumens with a stated efficacy of 140–170 lm/W . It is designed for football pitch floodlighting, high-mast applications and large arenas.

The high-output configuration makes the 46SL suitable for county grounds where large pitches need to be illuminated from elevated mounting positions.

Multiple Beam Angles for Large Sports Grounds

High mast lighting requires careful optical selection. The 46SL offers 10°, 15°, 20°, 40°, 60° and 90° beam angles , allowing designers to match the light distribution to pole height, pitch dimensions and fixture position.

A project-specific photometric calculation can determine the appropriate combination of fixture quantity, wattage, beam angle and aiming direction to achieve the required lux and uniformity.

Durable Outdoor Sports Floodlights

County grounds operate in demanding outdoor conditions. The 46SL features a pure aluminium housing, anti-corrosion powder coating and IP66 protection , making it suitable for wet locations. Its low-EPA design is also intended to withstand high wind levels.

The constant-current LED driver provides stable operation, while the luminaire is rated for up to 100,000 hours with 20kV surge protection and a 5-year warranty.

Smart Controls for County Sports Facilities

Different activities may require different lighting levels. The 46SL supports 0–10V, PWM, DALI, DMX512 and Synapse controls, allowing sports facilities to integrate dimming and intelligent lighting management.

Colour temperatures include 3000K, 4000K, 5000K and 6000K , with CRI 70/80 options.

High Mast Lighting for Football and Rugby Grounds

For a new county ground or LED upgrade, the lighting design should consider playing level, target lux, uniformity, pole height, glare and surrounding light spill.

The 46SL 600W–1500W LED high mast light combines high lumen output, multiple optics, IP66 outdoor protection and smart controls, providing a flexible solution for county football grounds, rugby pitches, training facilities and large sports arenas .
