As more places compete and provide nighttime entertainment. Better lighting is continuously replacing inefficient lighting, and lighting is being upgraded more quickly. To properly position the lamp posts, we need to know how many pitch lights there are on a pitch, whether it's a baseball, cricket or football pitch. It is necessary to consider the wattage since each pitch has a distinct size. The game, the players, and the spectators all depend on well-designed pitch illumination. Typically, a circle of grass is used to light the pitch. However, depending on the participants, cricket pitches will need different amounts of lighting electricity. LED lights are the greatest option since they are brighter, more energy-efficient, and more lasting, and many cricket field owners are upgrading their old lights these days. We sometimes request up to 10,000 to 50,000 watts of professional pitch lighting for LED fields at cricket stadiums, which may result in even greater cost savings. Therefore, knowing how many electric lights are utilised on the field is crucial. Strong floodlights are used to illuminate cricket pitches, much as in other LED arenas.Another way to describe them is as cricket-specific floodlights.
Average power levels for cricket pitch lighting
International cricket fields have typical power levels for cricket pitch lights in addition to cricket pitch lighting standards.Three types of lighting power may be found at cricket grounds, which we examine below:
Class I: Cricket, whether national, international, or regional
For Class I cricket fields, we must have the greatest lighting available. Class I players are of extremely high calibre, and their performances are often shown live on television. We consume more power when we use halogen bulbs since LEDs are about ten times more efficient than regular halogen lights. LEDs have 150 lumens per watt, whereas halogen lamps have 15 lumens per watt.
Because LED lights have a greater luminous efficiency than metal halide, high pressure sodium, mercury, or halogen bulbs, many cricket pitch lights now utilise them instead. This indicates that for the same illumination power usage, LEDs are brighter than traditional HID lighting parts.
Class II (training or community cricket)
Class II cricket fields are made especially for players from the neighbourhood or local area.
The lighting needs for cricket grounds are decreased as the need for lux decreases, and we no longer require as much harsh illumination. We can save a significant amount of power by switching from halogen to LEDs.
Class III (high school, university, or recreational)
Class III includes recreational areas and cricket fields at high schools or universities. There is no need for as strong of a lighting impact as the previous two since the cricket ground does not have seats for spectators.Therefore, it is possible to utilise outdoor flood lights without the first two requirements.
What factors affect the wattage of cricket stadium lighting?
Requirements for brightness
We just need 250–350 lux for regular training and on the playground, which is plenty for players to play team games with ease. Professional leagues, however, range in price from 500 to 750 lux. brighter since the action is more intense. Cricket players' performance may be enhanced and their energy levels raised by bright lights. The highest level in cricket grounds that accommodate international television broadcasts is 1,500–2,500 lux. This is because the visuals it offers are crisper.
The cricket pitch's dimensions
The quantity of light and lighting needed will vary depending on the size of the cricket pitch. This is because, in order to locate the lights on a cricket field, we must use this algorithm.
The light post on a typical cricket field is between 14 and 50 meters (46 and 164 feet), however first and second class dugouts sometimes need a taller lamp post. This kind of stadium requires more electricity.
Light power: lux x cricket pitch size (in square meters) = lumens needed
Lamp power is calculated as lumens needed divided by the lamp's luminous efficiency.
As a result, its wattage and pitch area are proportionate.
The height of the light pole on a cricket field
The height of the cricket pitch poles affects the luminous efficiency of LED light sources. It is well acknowledged that light loss increases with pole height. This results from the light beam's attenuation and diffusion in the atmosphere. Consequently, we must either decrease the beam angle or increase the energy of the cricket pitch lights in order to solve this issue.
The chip's brand
The power is also significantly influenced by the brand of the LED chip. For instance, there are several models of OSRAM and CREE. The brightness of certain LED chips is 130 lumens/watt. Although it will cost extra, we can lower the LED's power to 200 lumens per watt.
The LED bulb will save more energy and money for future operations if its brightness per watt is greater.
How much does it cost to run a cricket pitch for a whole day?
Selecting the appropriate bulbs is essential if you want to save money. As long as floodlights are used for athletic fields, the expense of maintaining stadium lighting may go up if the incorrect bulbs are used. About 400,000 watts of electricity are used by LED lights compared to metal halide lamps. This adds up to 400,000 watts x 24 hours x US$ 0.12/1000 = US$ 1,152 for lights. The cost of illumination with a halogen light source is 1 mw x 24 hours x US$ 0.12/1000 = US$ 2,880. Because of its poor energy efficiency, we can see that more electricity is utilised. When a metal halide lamp of the same brightness can be made with a 1,000,000 Watt halogen bulb, what about LED bulbs?
One million W of HID plus a 400,000 W halogen bulb are equal to our 100,000 W LED. As a result, lighting costs $288 per 100,000 W. We may see that LEDs and traditional light sources have very different operating costs. The cost of lighting for cricket stadiums may be significantly reduced by turning LEDs into light-emitting diodes.
Why choose cricket flood lights from Benwei LEDs?
You may pick from a number of alternatives for our company's cricket flood lights, including the Slim Pro series, Slim Max & Plus series, and ProE series. The power range of 200w-1440w can accommodate all of your demands, and the luminous effectiveness varies from 160lm/w to 190lm/w. We shall go into more depth below about the various benefits of SunetchLEDs' cricket flood lights, which include adjustable installation angles, light weight and portability, excellent anti-glare and heat-dissipation capabilities, extended lifespan, and minimal maintenance costs. Airports, golf courses, sports fields, stadiums, shopping malls, highways, industrial facilities, railway terminals, and other locations may all make use of cricket flood lights.
Effect of anti-glare
The intense light that the lights create will not only make the players and spectators uncomfortable, but it will also negatively impact the game's outcome and maybe cause the players' deaths. People will feel lightheaded merely by staring at LEDs, especially high-power LEDs without any specific design. To reduce the amount of glare, we have included a proprietary anti-glare design.
Outstanding heat-dissipation capabilities
Temperature is LED's worst enemy. Long-term exposure to high temperatures will harm the LED chip, reducing its light efficiency and shortening its lifetime. To address this issue, our organisation has created a heat dissipation system that uses an air convection structure, light and thin heat dissipation, and is 40% bigger than standard light bulbs. This system can minimise super light decay and increase service life.
Extended lifespan and minimal maintenance expenses
LED stadium lights from the Slim Pries, Slim Max, and ProE series have an 80,000-hour lifespan, which equates to more than 27 years if you use them eight hours a day. The expense of repairs and maintenance is no longer an issue, nor do you have to worry about purchasing new lights.
