What we hear

The pain points we keep seeing.

HID restrike kills halftime.

Ten-minute warm-up after a power blip means the second half starts in the dark. Modern LED sports fixtures deliver instant-on every time with no warm-up delay.

Color shift ruins game film.

Broadcast cameras need CRI 90+ for accurate color reproduction. Aged metal halide drifts green and makes film look terrible. Coaches cannot evaluate plays under degraded lighting.

Uneven coverage creates risk.

Substandard sports lighting correlates with increased injury rates. Uniformity matters as much as brightness. IES RP-6-22 sets minimum foot-candles and uniformity ratios by level of play for a reason.

Practice mode dimming saves big.

Game mode does not need to run during practice. Dimming controls can cut energy another 40% beyond the LED baseline on typical practice schedules, and field-by-field scheduling eliminates waste.

Under the lights

Night games should look and play like day games.

A soccer match under floodlights at night, the lit pitch filling the frame against a dark sky.

A football player seen from behind under floodlights at night, the lit field ahead of him.

A floodlit soccer pitch from directly overhead at night, masts at the corners, mowing stripes visible.

A floodlight head seen close and from below at night, its beam cutting through falling rain.

The math

IES RP-6-22 foot-candle minimums.

Sports lighting is governed by IES RP-6-22 which sets minimum foot-candles and uniformity ratios by level of play. Getting this wrong is more than an aesthetic problem — injuries correlate with non-compliant lighting, and broadcast cameras cannot compensate for poor uniformity.

Professional football: 100+ fc, 1.5:1 uniformity ratio
Collegiate football: 50 fc, 2.0:1 uniformity
High school football: 30 fc, 2.5:1 uniformity
Professional baseball infield/outfield: 100/70 fc, 1.2:1 uniformity
