The Istanbul Outdoor Sports Venue Lighting Upgrade was developed to improve the lighting performance and operating efficiency of an outdoor sports facility in Istanbul, Turkey.
For this project, LIKELITE supplied 300 sets of 150W LED Stadium Lights, supported by lighting engineering, site measurement, lighting simulation and project installation services.
The project achieved an estimated 22% improvement in energy efficiency while introducing dimming capability for more flexible lighting operation.
The selected LED Stadium Light uses an OSRAM SMD2835 LED source, 170 lm/W luminous efficiency, IP66/IK09 protection and a 120° beam angle. The luminaire is designed for demanding outdoor sports lighting environments where high brightness, weather protection and installation practicality are required.
Outdoor sports venues require lighting systems that can provide stable illumination while withstanding changing outdoor conditions.
The Istanbul project required consideration of:
Existing venue lighting
Lighting coverage
Luminaire mounting positions
Outdoor environmental conditions
Required brightness
Beam distribution
Electrical protection
Dimming requirements
Energy consumption
Installation conditions
The project used 150W LED Stadium Lights as the primary lighting equipment.
The selected configuration combines high luminous efficiency with IP66/IK09 protection and a lightweight housing design suitable for outdoor sports lighting applications.

Lighting Engineering for the Sports Venue
The Istanbul project included lighting engineering support in addition to LED Stadium Light supply.
Available project services include:
Lighting and circuitry design
Onsite metering
DIALux Evo layout
LitePro DLX layout
AutoCAD layout
AGi32 layout
Project installation
For an outdoor sports venue, the lighting layout needs to consider the relationship between the playing area, viewing areas, mounting positions and luminaire beam distribution.
Depending on the project requirements, the design process can evaluate:
Venue dimensions
Pole or mounting structure height
Luminaire position
Beam angle
Lighting coverage
Target illuminance
Uniformity
Glare considerations
Electrical layout
Operating zones
Final lighting calculations should be checked against the actual venue dimensions and applicable project requirements.
DIALux Evo Lighting Layout
DIALux Evo can be used to model the proposed sports lighting arrangement before installation.
The lighting simulation can help the project team evaluate luminaire positioning, beam distribution and expected illumination across the designated sports area.
Additional design formats can include LitePro DLX, AutoCAD and AGi32 according to the project team's technical requirements.
The calculation process may incorporate:
Venue geometry
Mounting height
Luminaire coordinates
Beam distribution
Working or playing surface
Target illuminance
Uniformity
Lighting zones
Electrical arrangement
The final layout should be confirmed using actual site measurements and the project's applicable lighting requirements.
Dimming and Lighting Control
A key feature of the Istanbul project configuration is dimming support.
Dimming provides the possibility of adjusting lighting output according to different operating conditions.
For an outdoor sports venue, lighting requirements can vary between:
Full-use sports activities
Training
Maintenance
Preparation periods
Non-use periods
Scheduled operation
The dimming function can therefore support more flexible lighting management when integrated into the project's control system.
Actual dimming strategy should be established according to the venue's operating requirements and control architecture.
300-Set Project Deployment
The Istanbul project involved 300 sets of 150W LED Stadium Lights.
At this scale, consistency of product configuration and installation positioning is important for project execution.
Project supply considerations included:
Consistent product specifications
Batch production
Electrical protection
IP66 environmental protection
IK09 impact protection
Dimming compatibility
Installation requirements
Transportation
Warranty support
Each luminaire has a product weight of approximately 9.55 kg, providing a relatively lightweight configuration for a high-output sports lighting application.
Energy Efficiency Improvement
The project achieved an estimated 22% improvement in energy efficiency.
The improvement was supported by:
High-efficiency LED technology
150W power configuration
170 lm/W luminous efficiency
Dimming capability
More controlled operating conditions
Reduced unnecessary lighting operation
The actual energy-saving result depends on the previous lighting system, operating hours, lighting levels, dimming strategy and venue usage.
For project verification, actual pre-upgrade and post-upgrade electricity consumption can be compared where measurement data is available.
Outdoor Protection and Mechanical Reliability
Outdoor sports lighting equipment must withstand weather exposure and mechanical impact risks.
The Istanbul project configuration provides:
IP66 protection
IK09 impact protection
4KV surge protection
Aluminum ADC12 die-cast housing
PC lens + glass
Operating temperature from -35°C to +45°C
30,000-hour rated lifespan
The combination of IP66 and IK09 is designed to provide protection against outdoor environmental exposure and mechanical impact in demanding sports lighting applications.
Installation and Project Coordination
The installation stage requires coordination between lighting calculations, mounting structures, electrical connections and luminaire positioning.
LIKELITE can support project teams with:
Lighting layouts
Circuitry design
Site measurement
Installation guidance
