What are LED Lighting Supply Field Hockey and Hockey Pitch Lighting?

These LED lights, typically stadium or powerful LED floodlights, are designed to replace traditional HID light sources like Metal Halide, Halogen bulbs, High-Pressure Sodium, and Mercury vapor lamps. The lighting fixtures provide bright lighting and can provide lighting uniformity.

To get the most out of these lights, we recommend doing a lighting plan done by one of our lighting designers. These plans will create balanced bright lighting eliminating bright and dark spots while taking into consideration horizontal lighting uniformity requirements. We can apply several options to reduce light pollution on the field hockey pitch.

We have found that high-power LED sports lighting works well in a field hockey venue. They have beam optic options from 10 and 60 degree.

LED field hockey lights are powerful enough to replace metal halide lighting. We can easily replace 400 Watt, 1000 Watt, and even 2000 Watt metal halide.

3. Fixture Mounting Height: Determine light fixture mounting height requirements to improve the visibility of players and sideliners. If there are no pre-existing light poles in your field hockey field, our Product Specialists will recommend the appropriate mounting height alongside a proper light pole solution to meet the needs of your playing field.
4. Existing Lighting Layout: If an existing lighting layout exists in your field hockey field, consider the current light fixture positioning, how the fixtures are mounted to the light pole, the number of fixtures installed on each light pole, and the maximum fixture weight each pole can support. Our Product Specialists will engineer an adaptive plan to utilize the existing light pole and light fixture positioning. This approach provides installation ease and contributes to overall project cost savings.

LED Lighting Supply’s full-line field hockey lights and light poles allow sports facility managers to balance safety, performance, and efficiency while reducing operational costs so athletes can focus on reaching their next goal.
