As stadiums and arenas around the world look for more modern & efficient ways to light their buildings, LED lighting is becoming an ever more popular choice.

Here are some of the reasons that LED stadium lighting is becoming the choice for many, and why you should consider LED lighting for your property.

• Energy Savings: LEDs use significantly less energy than traditional light sources like metal halide or sodium vapour lights. This means that they are much cheaper to run, directly reducing your electricity costs.
• Long Lifespan: LEDs have been known for lasting up to 50 times longer than traditional lamps ; this is especially beneficial in large stadiums where replacing hundreds or even thousands of lamps would be costly and time consuming if using other types of lighting solutions such as fluorescent tubes or incandescent lamps instead. Not only do these extended lifespans help with saving money upfront but they also provide peace of mind knowing that there will be fewer unexpected outages during events due to lamp failure. Here at Kingfisher Sport all of our LED flood lights have a lifespan of 100,000 hours - around 11 years of constant usage.. 
• Improved Visibility & Safety: As compared with other forms of illumination, LED lights provide much clearer illumination, without  glare or UV issues. As such, an arena lit by LED flood lights is much easier for the players/performers visual comfort, as well as  more pleasant for the spectators, and much safer for everyone involved.
• Environmentally Friendly: If like many venues, you are looking to become more sustainable and reduce your environmental impact, then LED lights are definitely a great choice. LED lights are more efficient, use less energy, and also don’t contain harmful materials such as mercury or lead which may be found in much older systems. The long lifespan of LED’s also mean they have to be replaced less regularly, and if replacement is needed, they can be disposed of much easier.
• Easy Maintenance & Installation: Compared with older technologies, installing new LED’s takes considerably less time. On top of that, the level of maintenance required is much lower, so less stress & cost for you. In general, the higher lumen output of LED’s means less fixtures are required - another great saving.
