Low-Maintenance LED Stadium Lights for Metal Halide Replacement Projects

Replacing traditional Metal Halide stadium lights with LED technology can reduce lamp replacement, maintenance work, and energy consumption. For sports facility managers, contractors, and distributors, a reliable LED system should combine high output, effective thermal management, environmental protection, and practical maintenance design.

37SL for Large Sports Facilities

The FORTOMO 37SL is a high-output LED sports light available in 600W–1200W configurations, with luminous efficacy of up to 150–170 lm/W . It is designed for large stadiums, football fields, cricket grounds, sports ovals, and other high-mast applications.

For a Metal Halide to LED retrofit , the appropriate wattage and fixture quantity should be determined through photometric calculations based on pole height, field dimensions, existing fixture positions, illuminance, and uniformity.

Reduce Maintenance with LED Sports Lighting

Traditional Metal Halide systems require periodic lamp replacement and maintenance, particularly in facilities with long operating hours. LED sports lights can significantly extend the interval between major lighting maintenance activities.

The 37SL is designed for long-term outdoor operation and supports a long service life. Its robust aluminium housing and thermal design help manage heat during extended use, while IP66 protection helps protect against dust and water exposure.

Optional 10kV/20kV surge protection can provide additional protection for outdoor sports lighting installations.

Flexible Design for Stadium Retrofits

The 37SL offers multiple optical distributions for different mounting heights and sports field layouts. Narrower beams can support longer throw distances, while wider optics can provide broader coverage.

The fixture also supports multiple control options, including 0–10V, PWM, DALI, and DMX512 , allowing lighting systems to incorporate dimming or centralized control where required.
