Futsal Court Lighting – LED Lights for Five-a-side Football Pitch

LED-futsal-court-lightsOur LED futsal court lighting delivers high-quality illumination for football players and spectators. Our flood lighting system for five-a-side football pitch is suitable for both outdoor or indoor installation. It is because the luminary has water-tight design for adverse weather conditions. Besides, the exclusive heat sink effectively conducts the heat away and thus heat will not be accumulated when the lights are mounted to indoor soccer field ceiling.

LED replacement of metal halide, halogen and mercury vapor is very useful to reduce your electricity consumption and maintenance frequency because the LED futsal field lights have over 80,000 hours life span and 140 lm/W energy efficiency, which is about 10 times of halogen bulbs.

Futsal is quite similar to conventional soccer, the major difference is that each side is consisted of 5 players only, including 4 players and 1 goalkeeper. Let’s explore how to light up the futsal soccer astroturf by LED lights.

Futsal Pitch Lighting Design

1. Brightness & Lux Level of Futsal Field Flood Lamp

led-sports-lightingThe brightness requirement of flood lights depend on the nature of five-a-side soccer pitch. The lux level would be more demanding if the field is designed for holding televised competition. For instance, the lux level required is approx. 800 to 1200 lux for FIFA or other professional matches, and 300 to 400 lux for recreational or training purpose.

How many powers of lights do I need?

To light up a 20 x 40 square meters indoor futsal court for training, we will need (20 x 40) x 300 lux = 240,000 lumens, which is equivalent to around 1500W to 2000W LED lights. If we have a high ceiling, we will need to add extra power. Contact us for free lighting design.

2. Orientation of LED Flood Lights

As we can see from the above figures, there are 3 floodlights on each pole, and they have slightly different orientation (projection angle and direction). This arrangement ensures that the lights are evenly distributed across the entire soccer field. When planning the lights, our lighting designer will figure out the best orientation that delivers the optimal brightness and uniformity for futsal players.

3. HID Lighting Replacement of Futsal Pitch

It is beneficial to replace the metal halide, mercury or halogen flood lights with LED. If we take a look at the above comparison, we will see that the soccer pitch is very dim; nevertheless, there is a huge improvement in brightness and uniformity when using the LED lights to light up the soccer field.
