Last week is the Teacher Appreciation Week. How did you celebrate with or showing your respect to your teachers? The college professor may need to spend 5 to 7 hours in the classroom, and the lecture hall lighting determines the teaching quality. Too bright or too dim classroom lights irritates teachers’ eyes and distracts students’ attention. By doing the LED replacement of metal halide, fluorescent, halogen, HPS or LPS lights inside the lecture theater, we can immediate save 70% energy as well as improve the lighting uniformity by 50%. LED is also dimmable when projectors or other teaching equipment is needed. After a long day, the students may wish to enjoy their extra-curricular activities such as football, cricket, baseball, cycling and so on. Hence, high mas lighting for the sports field at college or high school allows the students to use the sports facilities at night. This passage will give you the ideas of how to improve the lighting in school.
Better lecture theater (classroom) lighting
Nowadays, many universities are increasing their enrollments, and the school’s area is constantly expanding. The demand for classroom lighting in schools is increasing. If we select the improper lighting system, huge amounts of electricity and thus money will be wasted. Improve the utilization of energy in school classroom lighting is always the primary consideration. We also need to know more about the importance of having a good lighting at high school and college.
For students, good and well-equipped lecture hall lighting can not only improve the efficiency of learning, but also reduce the incidence of myopia and other eye diseases. Many parent attributes their kids’ myopia to their poor sitting posture; however, recent studies show that types of classroom lighting also contribute to students’ eyesight.
For teachers, teaching will be more effective if they can control the brightness of light easily during presentation.
How LED system improves school lighting?
Reduce energy consumption
Contemporary LED lamps are not compatible to intelligent control. Comparing with our traditional manual lighting management system in the past, our brand new smart LED lights for classroom avoid energy wastage by automatically turning off the lights when there is no one inside. Apart from the motion sensing unit, the 100W LED light replace 400W metal halide and 800W halogen lights, and thus save much energy while maintaining the same brightness.

Environmentally friendly
LED luminaries do not contain toxic mercury, halogen and other heavy metal, which is better to our environment. Besides, due to the remarkable service life, the disposal rate of LED is significantly less than the HID flood lamps. Doing LED replacement becomes the trend in lighting industry.
Requirement of lighting
LED lamps meet the lighting needs of the classroom.
1. Meet the 150 to 250 lux requirements of students reading and writing, ensuring adequate both horizontal and vertical illumination.
2. Comfortable face-to-face communication between students inside classroom.
3. Adequate lighting in presentation area.
4. The light should not attract insect like mosquito. It can be achieved by using UV-free and IR-free LED lighting.
LED is so versatile that is applicable to not only lecture hall, but corridors, gym room, and other sports facilities. In the corridor, we can choose LED downlights with motion sensor to give better security at night. It also let student feel safe when they go to the bathroom along the corridor at night or after school.
Sports field lighting for high school and college
Schools are not only the place to study, but experience school life with friends. If there are problems with the campus infrastructure such as inadequate lighting, the health and quality of life of students will be greatly affected. LED improves the lighting quality of sports field because it emits bright and uniform lights, which is especially essential for contact sports, such as tennis court, football field lighting and rugby field lighting. A series of injury will occur if the students cannot see clearly with the balls and opponents.
There are two issues to consider for outdoor lighting. First, the sports flood light should be waterproof – having the rating of at least IP66. Since the LED lights are affixed to the high mast pole, we will need lightning protection module to prevent the field lights from going off during inclement weather. If the outdoor flood lamps are well-protected, they function normally for at least 20 to 25 years.
