1. They Save Power and Are Cheaper to Operate
LED lights use up to 75% less energy than older styles of lighting. This means that every minute you operate your stadium lights, you are saving money. Depending on what your stadium, baseball field, or even tennis court is used for, this can equal a lot of savings.
If a game is played after dark, lights must be on all the time. In most places, lighting can equal up to hundreds or thousands of dollars a month in associated utility bills. This can put a strain on budgets for collegiate and municipal stadiums.
While you may think that switching to LED stadium lights is an expensive proposition, here is where the savings start to counteract the price of updating. It is not the only way in which LEDs will save you money, but the direct impact on the reduction of power used is one you will notice right away.
More than just saving money, this reduction in power allows your stadium to operate in a way that is more environmentally safe. Reducing the strain on power plants lowers the amount of carbon that is emitted. This helps to improve air quality and relieve environmental pressure.
2. They Last Longer
One of the great advantages of LED lights is that they last for an incredible number of hours. Each LED light you install could last 25x longer than traditional bulbs. This doesn’t just save you on replacement lights, but also upon the manpower to change the lighting.
In many stadiums, it can be difficult and dangerous to change the lights. It requires the use of safety equipment and even in some cases, having a bucket truck on site. This can, in turn, cause damage to the field, which will require even more labor to repair.
All of this will make your stadium cheaper to operate, but also more enjoyable to go to. Blown lights can scare children, cause delays, or reduce the ability of fans and players to see. If any of those things happen, your stadium will not be performing as well as it could have, had you used LED lights.
