Sportsbeams has introduced the LED Stadium 1500.
Sportsbeams LED Stadium 1500 fixtures have been integrated into the lighting design of the 65,000-seat Raymond James Stadium, home of the National Football League’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Designed for both indoor and outdoor venues, Sportsbeams LED Stadium 1500 generates approximately 200,000 lumens of light, harnessed into focused beams with five different models using just 1,500 watts of light emitting diodes (LEDs). Sportsbeams’ high-output fixtures mean that 50% fewer fixtures are required as compared to traditional sports venue HID lighting, or up to 30% fewer fixtures are needed as compared to existing LED stadium fixtures.
Using its single optic glass approach, Sportsbeams’ delivers an even and blended beam, which minimizes light pollution and is virtually maintenance-free for stadiums, arenas, high mast, and other large scale applications, with a long 20-plus year LED operational life.
Sportsbeams patent-pending single-optical system solves the glare issue currently plaguing sports players/athletes in stadiums using conventional LED lights. Existing LED stadium lights often cluster together hundreds of small plastic lenses, which creates hundreds of “pin light” sources, resulting in distracting glare. Such conventional LED sports fixtures emit light that is more akin to a series of laser beams in contrast to the homogenous single-optic output of Sportsbeams.
Recently, Baxter and team won three best of show awards at this year’s National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) show for their innovations in LED broadcast lighting.
Additional features of the Sportsbeams LED Stadium 1500 include instant re-strike to eliminate lighting blackouts, providing flicker-free film and video capture at any frame rate – including slow-motion, and multiple remote command options to create enhanced fan-experience lighting effects.
