Low-Glare LED Sports Flood Lights for Light Pollution Control

Sports lighting near residential areas, roads, and neighboring properties needs to provide sufficient illumination without creating excessive glare or unwanted light spill. Proper LED sports lighting design can help control these issues through suitable optics, beam angles, mounting positions, and aiming.

41SL for Low-Glare Sports Lighting

The FORTOMO 41SL is available in 300W, 400W, and 500W configurations, producing 45,000–75,000 lumens with up to 150–170 lm/W efficacy.

For stadiums, football fields, tennis courts, cricket grounds, and community sports facilities, the correct fixture wattage should be selected according to the field dimensions, mounting height, target illuminance, and required uniformity.

Control Light Spill with the Right Optics

The 41SL supports NEMA2–NEMA6 optics and beam angles from 7° to 45° , including 7°, 15°, 25°, 35°, and 45°.

Narrower beams can help concentrate light over longer distances, while wider beams provide broader coverage where required. Selecting the appropriate optic and aiming angle helps direct light toward the playing area rather than surrounding properties.

Professional photometric calculations can evaluate illuminance, uniformity, glare, and potential light spill before installation.

Low-Glare and Outdoor Protection

The 41SL can achieve UGR <19 , helping improve visual comfort when the fixture is correctly positioned and aimed.

It also features IP66 protection , while optional 10kV/20kV surge protection provides additional electrical protection for demanding outdoor installations.
