LED Lights for Field Hockey

What are LED Field Hockey and Hockey Pitch Lighting?

Hockey field lighting systems use stadium lighting to replace outdated HID technologies such as metal halide, halogen, high-pressure sodium, and mercury vapor. Professional-grade fixtures deliver uniform illumination across the playing surface, providing 50,000+ lumens of consistent output (verify on spec sheet). We recommend professional lighting design for optimal results. Our designers create balanced coverage that eliminates dark spots and bright patches while meeting horizontal uniformity requirements for competitive play.

Light pollution control is important for community hockey venues. High-power LED sports field fixtures offer 10-60 degree beam angles for precise light placement. Modern LED systems can replace 400W, 1000W, or 2000W metal halide installations while delivering superior performance. Free lighting layouts help facility managers visualize coverage and ensure compliance with league standards. Contact us for a custom lighting plan tailored to your venue.

What are the Benefits of Using LED Lights for a Field Hockey Venue?

Hockey field facilities often upgrade to LED technology to replace aging metal halide systems.

• Energy Efficient - LED field lighting reduces electricity usage by 50-75% (results vary), lowering operating costs while delivering strong performance.
• Lumen Output - High-performance LED fixtures provide 50,000+ lumens (verify on spec sheet), matching or surpassing metal halide systems.
• Instant On - LEDs reach full brightness instantly, allowing flexible practice scheduling without warm-up delays.
• Reduced Maintenance - Solid-state design eliminates bulb and ballast replacement, saving facilities thousands in annual maintenance costs.
• Long Life - Premium LED chips last 100,000+ hours (model dependent), providing 15+ years of reliable field lighting under typical use.
• High-Quality Lighting - Advanced optics ensure uniform field coverage and excellent visibility with consistent 4000K daylight color temperature when properly installed.
• Multiple Voltage Options - Dual-input LED drivers support 100-277V and 277-480V electrical systems without costly rewiring.
• Glare Control - Precision shields and engineered optics minimize spill light and glare, delivering optimal illumination while protecting surrounding properties when properly specified.

How to Select the Proper LED Field Hockey Lighting Solution

Several safety and performance factors determine the ideal LED lighting solution for field hockey. Our selection of LED fixtures and poles delivers efficient coverage while prioritizing player safety when properly installed. Consider these four critical elements when evaluating lighting solutions for your field.

• Lighting Level Requirements - Establish lighting needs based on your venue's competition level and usage. Uniform light distribution keeps athletes safe and optimizes visibility when properly specified. Our Product Specialists analyze project requirements and engineer free custom lighting plans before purchase to recommend optimal fixture and pole configurations.
• Existing Pole Considerations - Evaluate current pole locations and structural capacity. LED Lighting Supply's Product Specialists assess whether projects require pole replacements or additional supports. Request a free pole quote here for structural recommendations.
• Fixture Mounting Height - Mounting height impacts player visibility and spectator experience. Facilities without existing poles benefit from our Product Specialists' recommendations for mounting heights and suitable pole solutions for your field dimensions.
• Existing Lighting Layout - Analyze fixture positioning, mounting methods, fixture quantities per pole, and maximum weight capacity. Our Product Specialists develop adaptive plans using existing infrastructure where possible, reducing installation complexity and project costs.

LED Lighting Supply's field hockey lighting solutions help facility managers balance safety, performance, and efficiency while reducing operational expenses so athletes can focus on their goals when properly installed.
