Smart Stadium Lights: Leading A New Era of Lighting

Smart stadium lights: leading a new era of lighting

With the development of technology and the progress of the times, stadium lighting has gradually upgraded from traditional stadium lights to a new era of smart stadium lighting. So what is the difference between our intelligent stadium lighting and traditional stadium lighting?

Traditional Stadium Light:

Traditional stadium lights generally use metal halide lamps as light sources, and the lighting method is relatively simple. Usually, the lights are turned on and off manually or by simple timing control. The brightness is fixed and it is difficult to flexibly adjust according to actual needs. There may be uneven lighting in different areas of the stadium. In addition, traditional stadium lights have high energy consumption, and the heat dissipation problem is also prominent. The maintenance cost of the lamps is relatively high.

Smart Stadium Light:

Smart stadium lighting is based on advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things, sensors, and intelligent control. Most light sources use energy-efficient LED lamps, which have the advantages of long life, low energy consumption, and good color rendering.

Through sensors, the smart stadium lighting system can automatically sense changes in ambient light and the activities of people in the stadium, and realize automatic dimming. For example, some lights are automatically turned off when there is sufficient light during the day, and the light brightness is adjusted according to actual needs at night or on cloudy days. At the same time, remote control can be carried out through mobile phone APP or computer terminals, making it convenient for managers to turn on and off lights, adjust brightness, switch scenes, and other operations anytime and anywhere.

In addition, smart stadium lighting can also achieve zoning control, and personalized lighting settings can be made for different areas of the stadium according to different game scenes or activity requirements, which not only meets actual use needs, but also achieves the purpose of energy saving.

After a brief understanding of the difference between the two, let us take a deeper look at the "intelligence" of stadium lights.

• Intelligent control

(1) Automatic dimming

By installing light sensors, smart stadium lights can sense the ambient light intensity in real time. During the day or when there is sufficient light, the lights will automatically dim or turn off; at night or when the light is dim, the lights will automatically adjust to the appropriate brightness to ensure that the venue lighting is always in an ideal state.

(2) Remote control

Using the Internet of Things technology, staff can remotely control the stadium lights through mobile phones, computers and other terminal devices. No matter where you are, you can easily turn on, turn off, dim, and other operations, and you can also preset a variety of lighting scene modes to meet the needs of different events and activities.

(3) Timed control

The timed switch function can be set according to the use time and rules of the stadium. For example, the lights are automatically turned on during a fixed training or competition time period, and automatically turned off after the end, realizing intelligent time management and saving manpower and energy.

• Energy-saving optimization

(1) Intelligent dimming strategy

In addition to automatic dimming according to ambient light, smart stadium lights can also be dimmed in combination with the actual use of the venue. For example, the brightness is automatically reduced in unused areas, and the normal brightness is restored when someone is active to avoid unnecessary energy waste.

(2) Energy management system

By integrating the energy management system, the energy consumption of the stadium lights is monitored in real time, and the electricity consumption data is analyzed to provide a basis for optimizing the lighting strategy. At the same time, the system can also diagnose the operating status of the lamps in real time, detect faulty lamps in time, and reduce maintenance costs.

• Health and safety

(1) Flicker-free lighting

The smart stadium lights use advanced driving technology to effectively eliminate light flicker, provide athletes and spectators with a comfortable and stable visual environment, reduce eye fatigue and discomfort, and reduce visual errors and safety hazards caused by flicker.

(2) Emergency lighting function

Equipped with emergency lighting modules, the smart stadium lights can automatically switch to emergency lighting mode in the event of power grid failure or other emergencies, ensuring that the venue has a certain lighting brightness, ensuring the safe evacuation of personnel and the handling of emergencies.

• Improved lighting quality

(1) Accurate light distribution design

Using computer-aided design (CAD) and optical simulation software, the optical system of the stadium lights is accurately designed to achieve uniform light distribution, avoid glare and shadow areas, provide athletes with good visual conditions, and help them perform better.

(2) Color adjustment function

Some smart stadium lights have color adjustment function, which can adjust the color and color temperature of the lights according to different event atmospheres or activity themes. For example, when holding large-scale events, the lights can be adjusted to cold white to create a professional and serious competition atmosphere; when holding cultural performances or commercial activities, different colors of lights can be changed to create a colorful visual effect.
