Application of LED lights in sports

One of the beauties in LED lights is that they are available from the smallest applications to the largest and most powerful sources of light as well. This contrast can be clearly seen when we take a look at the lights used in sports and various sport events. There are various equipments for sports where LED lights are used, often for safety kits.

Where vehicles like a bike or a car are included, LED lights equip them for adequate illumination of roads ahead. Car lights often used in race cars as well are becoming a popular solution due to their low power consumption, easy application and cheap maintenance. LED lights are not sensitive to shakes, and have a long lifespan, which make them especially ideal for race car applications. These light bulbs are available for cars in a wide range: these light bulbs are available with various fittings, beam angles and brightness, so finding the best solution for replacing a traditional light should not be a problem. The same light bulbs are perfect solutions for motorbikes too, where basically the same applications can be used.

Riding the bicycle is a common form of leisure during the summertime. LED bicycle reflectors are becoming a popular solution for due to their many advantages. With these products bikers can see well on the roads and with a range of different LED light bulbs, their visibility can also be improved. LED lights attached to pieces of clothing are common solutions in improving safety (such as zippers, small headlights, etc). These little compact lights are the usually operated with small batteries of long life. Another, commonly used LED product is the LED torch light, which has a growing popularity and wider range. LED torch lights are economic on battery life as they consume very little power. With the constant development in LED products, they are available in brighter versions too, with a decent light output.

Another sport related use of LED products is the illumination of sport facilities, from the smallest fitness rooms to the illumination of huge arenas. Illuminating small rooms are not much different than household applications, but many of us would be surprised to see the immense light emitted by LED reflectors in sport arenas. These panels are not the only applications within the arena though, there are various forms of LED lightings are present – including the LED scoreboards.

For newly built stadiums LED floodlight are becoming the norm, due to their low consumption of energy, minimum maintenance and sustainability. These characteristics are all crucial in stadiums, which do not only intend to spend little money on lighting and their replacement but also need to be as green as possible and as attractive as possible to draw in viewers. New solutions in the world of sport arenas all enter the race of winning the title of the “most eco-friendly stadium”, and that already excludes other forms of lighting. LED light bulbs are also the greenest lighting solution available on the market. One good example for their extended use is the recently built Green Point Stadium in Cape Town built for the 2010 World Cup. The arena, illuminated with the latest and highest quality LEDs by Osram is built for showing off with its lighting, using various forms of LEDs, like strips, reflectors, spotlights, panels, etc. The architectural piece shows its most charming face during the night, when internal illuminations make the walls transparent and also bright up.
