What Beam Angles Can Be Customized for Wholesale LED Sports Lights?
Beam angle is an important specification when selecting LED sports lights for wholesale projects. The correct optical distribution helps direct light toward the playing area while controlling spill light and supporting the required illuminance and uniformity.
For importers and contractors, beam angle should be selected according to the mounting height, pole position, field dimensions, and lighting layout rather than choosing the narrowest or widest option automatically.
What Beam Angles Are Available?
Depending on the LED sports light model and optical configuration, commonly available options include:
- 3° – very narrow distribution for long-distance projection
- 7° – narrow beam for high mounting positions
- 15° – narrow distribution for targeted field coverage
- 25° – medium-narrow coverage
- 35° – balanced field coverage
- 45° – wider distribution for broader areas
The actual available beam angles depend on the specific fixture and optical system.
41SL for Courts and Smaller Sports Fields
The 41SL 300W–500W is suitable for tennis courts, padel courts, basketball courts, football training grounds, and community sports facilities.
For court lighting, beam angle selection should consider pole height and the distance between the fixture and playing surface.
A wider beam may be useful for shorter mounting positions, while narrower optics can help target light from fixtures installed farther away.
40SL for Outdoor Field Sports
The 40SL 500W–750W can be used for football fields, outdoor arenas, rugby, hockey, and other field sports.
Different beam distributions can help designers match the fixture to pole locations and field dimensions.
For larger fields, combining different optical configurations may provide better coverage than using one beam angle throughout the entire installation.
46SL for High-Mast Applications
The 46SL 500W–1500W LED high mast light is designed for stadiums, large sports complexes, and high-mast applications.
Narrow beam options such as 3° and 7° can be considered when fixtures are mounted high or positioned far from the target area. Wider options can be used where broader coverage is required.
The final configuration should be verified through photometric calculations.
Can Beam Angles Be Customized?
For wholesale orders, buyers can discuss the required optical configuration with the manufacturer.
Customization may involve selecting an existing compatible lens or optical distribution rather than developing a completely new optical system.
If a project requires a special optical design outside the manufacturer's standard range, additional optical evaluation, testing, development time, and MOQ may apply.
Therefore, buyers should confirm the required beam angle before production.
How Should Importers Select a Beam Angle?
A practical selection process includes:
- Confirm the field dimensions.
- Determine the fixture mounting height.
- Identify pole and fixture positions.
- Define the required illuminance and uniformity.
- Select an appropriate beam distribution.
- Verify the design with IES/LDT photometric data.
This approach is more reliable than selecting a beam angle based only on the fixture's wattage.
Use Photometric Simulation Before Bulk Orders
For large wholesale projects, photometric simulation can help verify whether the selected beam angle provides the expected coverage.
FORTOMO can provide applicable IES/LDT photometric files for sports lighting products, allowing contractors and lighting designers to use DIALux or other professional software to evaluate fixture positioning, illuminance, and uniformity.
A Flexible Optical Solution for Wholesale Buyers
Wholesale LED sports lights can be supplied with different optical configurations depending on the model and project requirements.
With 41SL 300W–500W, 40SL 500W–750W, and 46SL 500W–1500W , FORTOMO offers sports lighting platforms covering courts, outdoor fields, stadiums, and high-mast applications.
For customized wholesale orders, buyers should provide the mounting height, field dimensions, pole layout, and target lighting requirements so the appropriate beam angle can be evaluated before production.
