LED Sports Lights for Metal Halide Retrofit at Community Sports Grounds
Older community sports grounds often use high-wattage Metal Halide floodlights that require regular maintenance and consume significant electricity. Upgrading to LED sports lights can improve energy efficiency while providing more consistent illumination and reducing replacement requirements.
37SL for Community Sports Ground Retrofits
The FORTOMO 37SL is a high-output LED sports light available in 600W–1200W configurations, delivering up to 150–170 lm/W efficacy.
The wide power range allows the 37SL to support different community sports grounds, including football fields, cricket ovals, athletics facilities, and multi-purpose outdoor venues.
For Metal Halide retrofit projects, LED wattage should not be selected simply by matching the old fixture wattage. Pole height, field dimensions, existing fixture positions, target illuminance, and uniformity should be considered through professional photometric calculations.
Flexible Optics for Existing Pole Layouts
Community sports grounds often have existing poles that project owners want to reuse. The 37SL offers multiple beam distributions to accommodate different mounting heights and field layouts.
Narrower optics can provide longer throw distances, while wider distributions can cover larger areas. Correct beam selection and aiming can help improve uniformity and reduce unnecessary light spill.
Reliable Outdoor Performance
The 37SL features a durable aluminium housing and IP66 protection for outdoor sports applications. Optional 10kV/20kV surge protection can provide additional protection in locations exposed to electrical disturbances.
The fixture also supports 0–10V, PWM, DALI, and DMX512 control options for projects requiring dimming or centralized lighting management.
