How should a sport light be selected for an American football field?
1. American football field size
Rugby matches are played on fields that are 160 yards long (one yard equals 0.9144 meters), 75 yards broad, 110 yards apart from the goal lines, 25 yards from the goal line, and have an end zone in the middle of the two lines.
There are 18 feet (5.64 meters) between the two goalposts.
The goal post is one foot above the crossbar, which is 10 feet (3.048 meters) above the ground.
2. Lighting requirements for grounds used for American football
American football fields have lighting standards that can be roughly categorized into six levels: training and entertainment 200lx, amateur competition and professional training 300lx, professional competition 500lx, general tv broadcast 1000lx, TV broadcast international competition 1400lx, and high-definition TV broadcast of major international competitions 2000lx.
3. American football field lights' beam angles

The football field center should not be less than 25° Angle with the ground to determine the height of the light pole, so the light pole distance is different from the center of the football field of the light pole height is different; Football field bottom line bottom line midpoint and foot of the light pole; and Football field corners set four light pole, 58 m height - 33 - like the discharge project-light lamp to the football field center should not be less than 25° Angle with the ground.
By projecting different beam angles, a proper light distribution may be created on the football pitch.

Due to the size of the football field and the height of the light pole, narrow beam angles are typically employed. A narrow beam angle is one that is less than 45 degrees. We provide the 15, 20, and 30 degree narrow beam angles with our GL-SPL series.

4. Which lighting options are ideal for an American football field?
All consumers desire to purchase high-quality sports lights for their field due to the hassle and expense of repair and upkeep. Most customers would associate "high quality" with terms like "brand LED chip," "brand driver," "high CRI," "uniformity," "save energy consumption," "extended lifespan," "low glare," and so on. Absolutely, each of these is crucial as well. Yet there was also something significant that was overlooked. Let's examine the top football stadium lighting options.
1. Non-flickering lighting for 4K and 8K TV broadcasting
Since 4K and 8K TVs are available, which can display high-definition photos and enable viewers to see even the finest details in the photographs, proper lighting is crucial for sports programming. Today, the camera must not only allow an appropriate amount of light to enter but also make sure that the proper use of light quality can accurately depict the colors on the ground. This is in addition to complying with the "Television Lighting Consistency Index" set by the European Broadcasting Union. In addition to meeting these requirements, flicker-free lighting offers the following advantages for UHD sports competition broadcasting:
A. MAKE THE AUDIENCE EXPERIENCE BETTER
Fans can fully experience a sporting event since the camera can catch every second of a game with flicker-free lighting. Also, because they won't be deterred by the flashing lights, viewers may better grasp what is happening, enhancing their enjoyment of the game. Improve audience satisfaction
B. IMPROVED QUALITY
Also, the flicker-free illumination guarantees broadcasters a glare-free experience, enabling them to pan across the whole field of vision and obtain a crisper image.
C. UNIFORMITY OF LIGHTING
Because they are not concerned with changing lighting and cameras to prevent flickering light, broadcasters can benefit from improved vertical and horizontal homogeneity.

The flicker-free illumination is intended to provide high-quality images that are most compatible with UHD Televisions, such as 4K and 8K. The audience may view the most minute details and playback their favorite scenes in this manner.
Users of 4k and 8k TVs will enjoy a crisp, high-definition, and enjoyable experience thanks to the flicker-free illumination. Moreover, broadcasters may guarantee improved image quality and uniform illumination, giving viewers a broadcast experience of sporting events that is unmatched and will keep them coming back.
2, Sports athletes should use anti-glare lighting
It might be difficult to participate in sports when there is an external light source present, especially for athletes. And most sports fans agree that this can lead to mistakes in performance.
A product's performance may suffer from uncomfortable glare and disability glare impacts, which might have an impact on athletes' performance.

Unique secondary optical system, high transmission glass lens, and aluminum alloy reflection cup are used in the MECREE SPL series. In order to efficiently decrease spill light, focus the light on the field, enhance the center light intensity by more than 5 times, and significantly reduce glare, it converts the majority of the overflowing light refracted by the aluminum reflector cup and lens into useable linear light.
3. High CRI, ( Color rendering index )
Led floodlights with a high CRI (color rendering index)
CRI must be taken into account when selecting LED sports lighting. A high CRI score of 90+ must be attained when accurate color presentation is required. Ra values greater than 80 are sufficient for most sporting applications, but you must adjust the CRI to greater than 90 for detailed photography and live video streaming. A "high CRI" light is one that has a value higher than 90. These lights emit a wide range of gorgeous, colorful tones. In order to get the required configuration, high CRI and color temperature can also be combined with LED sports lights.
CRI, however, should not be taken into account alone. Light resistance and energy usage are also significant. Yet, CRI is one of the most crucial considerations when purchasing LED sports lighting equipment.
The CRI of the MECREE SPL series is 80+, 90+, and we can create bespoke LED lights with a CRI of 95+ at the request of the customer. It can satisfy the requirements for high CRI.
4, Reduced volume, less expensive installation
The typical light tower may be immediately replaced when the total volume decreases in its original location. New poles, crossarms, demolition, engineering, and foundation costs can be avoided. That will almost cut installation costs in half.
The image below shows a typical MH lamp being replaced by a GL-SPL-1000W lamp on an existing light pole. Our SPL series has a lot of benefits like this.
