LIKELITE provides engineered LED Stadium Lighting Solutions for football stadiums, sports grounds, training facilities, municipal sports complexes and large outdoor sporting venues.
A stadium lighting system cannot be selected by wattage alone.
The correct configuration depends on:
Field Dimensions + Pole Position + Mounting Height + Luminaire Quantity + Beam Angle + Aiming Direction + Lighting Requirements + Electrical System + Control Requirements
LIKELITE supports EPC contractors, lighting contractors, engineering companies, stadium operators, distributors and project buyers with a complete engineering service covering:
Lighting Design + Circuitry Design + Onsite Metering + DIALux Evo + Litepro DLX + AGi32 + AutoCAD + Project Installation
Football Stadium Lighting Engineering
Lighting Design Based on the Stadium
Football stadium lighting requires controlled light distribution across a large playing area.
The design process considers the relationship between the field and the existing lighting infrastructure.
Typical project inputs include:
- Football field dimensions
- Existing pole positions
- Pole height
- Existing luminaire specifications
- Luminaire mounting position
- Required lighting level
- Lighting uniformity
- Beam distribution
- Aiming direction
- Electrical capacity
- Operating schedule
- Dimming requirements
- Local electrical requirements
LIKELITE uses these parameters to establish the appropriate LED Stadium Lighting configuration.
The objective is not simply to install higher-power luminaires. The objective is to achieve the required lighting performance with an appropriate optical, electrical and mechanical configuration.
LIKELITE Stadium Lighting Solution Process
01 — Project Assessment
The project starts with the available site and lighting information.
For retrofit projects, LIKELITE can evaluate:
Existing Lighting → Existing Poles → Existing Electrical System → Existing Operating Conditions
Where required, onsite metering can be used to collect additional project information.
02 — Lighting Simulation
The proposed lighting system should be verified before installation.
LIKELITE supports:
- DIALux Evo Layout
- Litepro DLX Layout
- AGi32 Layout
- AutoCAD Layout
The simulation process can be used to determine:
Luminaire Quantity → Luminaire Position → Beam Distribution → Aiming Direction → Field Coverage
Project-specific lighting results should always be confirmed through the final approved calculation.
03 — LED Stadium Light Selection
300W High-Efficiency LED Stadium Lights
A representative LIKELITE configuration from the Manchester, UK Football Stadium Lighting Upgrade uses:
| Specification | Configuration |
|---|---|
| Product | LED Stadium Lights |
| Power | 300W |
| Quantity | 300 sets |
| Luminous Efficiency | 150 lm/W |
| Input Voltage | 240V AC |
| Frequency | 50Hz |
| Beam Angle | 120° |
| CCT | 5000K ±300K |
| CRI | Ra 70 |
| Protection | IP67 / IK09 |
| LED Source | OSRAM SMD3030 |
| Lifespan | 30,000 hours |
| Power Factor | PF >0.95 |
| Surge Protection | 4KV |
| Dimming | Supported |
| Working Temperature | -35°C to +45°C |
| Product Weight | Approx. 10 kg |
| Housing | Die-casting Aluminum ADC12 |
| Lens | PC Lens + Glass |
| Warranty | 3 Years |
| Certification | UKCA |
This is a project reference configuration rather than a fixed specification for every stadium.
04 — Optical Configuration
120° Beam Angle
The representative configuration uses a:
120° Beam Angle
Beam selection needs to be coordinated with:
- Pole location
- Pole height
- Field dimensions
- Luminaire spacing
- Aiming angle
- Required field coverage
A wide beam can provide broad illumination coverage, but the final optical configuration should be verified through the project lighting simulation.
The engineering objective is to distribute light efficiently across the playing area rather than simply increase luminaire output.
05 — High-Efficiency 300W LED Configuration
The Manchester reference configuration uses:
300W
with:
150 lm/W
This provides a nominal LED output of approximately:
45,000 lm per luminaire
based on the stated luminous-efficiency figure.
The final installed lighting performance should not be inferred from lumen output alone. Field illumination depends on mounting height, aiming direction, optical distribution, installation geometry and site conditions.
06 — UK Electrical Configuration
240V AC / 50Hz / PF >0.95
The Manchester reference configuration is specified for:
240V AC
50Hz
PF >0.95
4KV Surge Protection
For UK stadium retrofit projects, the final electrical design should consider:
- Existing electrical supply
- Circuit capacity
- Circuit grouping
- Protection devices
- Control system
- Earthing
- Cable configuration
- Local installation requirements
The final electrical design should be verified against the actual project conditions.
07 — Dimming and Stadium Operation
Flexible Stadium Lighting Control
The LED Stadium Lights support dimming.
This allows the lighting system to operate at different output levels when the stadium does not require full lighting capacity.
Potential operating modes include:
- Training
- Regular operation
- Competition
- Maintenance
- Partial-field operation
- Reduced-output operation
The actual dimming method depends on the project control architecture and electrical system.
08 — Outdoor Protection
IP67 / IK09
Football stadium luminaires are installed in exposed outdoor locations.
The representative configuration uses:
IP67 / IK09
Housing:
Die-casting Aluminum ADC12
Optical construction:
PC Lens + Glass
Operating temperature:
-35°C to +45°C
Stated lifespan:
30,000 hours
The actual service life depends on environmental conditions, thermal management, electrical operation, installation and maintenance.
09 — Lighting and Circuitry Design
Complete Engineering Support
Stadium lighting is part of the stadium's electrical infrastructure.
LIKELITE can support:
- Lighting Design
- Circuitry Design
- Electrical Load Assessment
- Circuit Grouping
- Dimming Configuration
- Surge Protection
- Existing-System Assessment
- Installation Planning
The project should therefore be evaluated as a complete lighting system rather than as an isolated luminaire purchase.
