What is the Best Cricket Ground Lighting?

When we prepare lighting projects and bids, we may want to choose the best cricket ground lighting. The truth is that choosing the best lighting for a stadium is not an easy task, as each cricket field has its own lighting requirements. We need to meet the brightness, uniformity, color temperature and other criteria set by the stadium owner. To save you time and effort, we have written this article to try to explain to you the best way to choose floodlights for your cricket ground, as well as some tips for buying cricket floodlights.

What is the best type of lighting for a cricket ground?

First of all, we need to know how to call the cricket ground lighting. In fact, it is not as difficult as you think because we can call them cricket stadium lights, cricket pitch floodlights, cricket ground spotlights and so on. The best type of cricket lighting is floodlights because they are powerful enough to illuminate the entire cricket field. High power floodlights, such as 400 watts to 1500 watts stadium lights, can easily flood light the cricket stadium, thus providing even illumination to the cricketers and spectators.

What is the best cricket ground and stadium lights?

Cricket stadium lighting should be energy efficient

The first requirement for the best cricket stadium lights is energy efficiency. LED is a good choice because of its high energy efficiency. Believe it or not, LEDs are 8 to 10 times more energy efficient than traditional light sources, such as metal halide, halogen or mercury vapor stadium lights.

Dimming control for cricket stadium lights

LED is the best cricket ground light because it supports intelligent control, DMX, DALI or 0 to 10V dimming, so we can easily control the brightness of cricket lights. By combining the pitch light with intelligent control system, we can further reduce the operation cost and maintenance cost. We can easily dim the lights during training and have maximum output during cricket matches. the LED lights can provide higher flexibility for lighting control.

High color rendering cricket ground lights are better

The best cricket field lights should have a color rendering of 85 or more to show the true colors of the cricket pitch and the cricket ball. High color rendering lights also improve the visual experience of cricketers by providing a high contrast background.

Flicker free lighting for cricket matches

For international cricket matches like ICC, we should use the best flicker free design lighting so it does not produce flicker on HDTV. Metal halide and fluorescent cricket ground lights are prone to flicker under the camera due to their unique operating principles. Flicker will be especially noticeable under slow-motion cameras.

LedsMaster LED cricket ground lights are specifically designed for HDTV or 4KTV broadcasting and slow-motion photography. Therefore, we do not need to worry about the flicker problem.

Waterproof Cricket ground lighting

A good cricket stadium lighting system should be waterproof and able to withstand extreme weather conditions. Since most cricket pitches are completely outdoors, the best cricket pitch lighting should be at least IP66 waterproof. We need to ensure that the cricket ground lighting will still work in heavy rain.

In our experience, corrosion resistant stadium lights are even better if the cricket stadium is located near a coastal area, as seawater fog can damage the lights if they are not specially treated. Please contact our sales and engineers for more information about cricket stadium lighting.

Passive cooling system for the best stadium lights

The best cricket lights should have an excellent cooling system to protect the lights. Believe it or not, high temperatures can damage the lights because the constant heat may reduce the life of the electronic components inside the LED chips, thus reducing brightness and life.

To overcome the heat generated inside the LED stadium lights, we developed a patented cooling system that includes a special fin arrangement. Most importantly, it provides a large surface area for heat dissipation and does not include a cooling fan. An active cooling system is not desirable because we may not be able to detect if the cooling is failing, so we cannot rely entirely on fans.

Life span of cricket field lights

Another important factor to consider is the life span of the cricket stadium floodlights. The best LED lighting fixtures should have a life span of at least 80,000 to 120,000 hours. This means that the lumen output of the cricket stadium lights will not decrease significantly after 80,000 to 120,000 hours of use. This is because we don’t need to worry about the maintenance and replacement costs of the lighting fixtures.

Our LED cricket field lights can last >35 years. By using a stadium light with an extra long life, we can reduce subsequent maintenance costs.

We can compare the life span with other HID lights and we will expect 15,000 to 25,000 hours for HPS and LPS compared to about 8,000 to 10,000 hours for halogen lights. Therefore, LED will be the best choice for cricket field lights.

The best optical technology for cricket lights

LedsMaster is a lighting company that specializes in providing high power stadium lights for any sports venue. We have a dedicated team of lighting engineers who are constantly improving the quality of our sports lighting fixtures.

We have developed Asymmetric Precision Optical Control (APOC) technology for stadium lights, which includes a special state-of-the-art secondary LED optical design to improve the luminous efficiency and life of LED flame lights. Our APOC technology also reduces flicker and glare by 70-80%, so cricketers can enjoy the game of cricket.
