Stadium lights are very powerful sports lights mounted at tall heights with small beam angles, usually ranging from 12-60 degrees. With these smaller beam angles, there is higher light intensity within that angle that allows bright light to reach the ground from elevated heights.
Stadium lights can be mounted at different heights depending on the venue. Beam angles will vary depending on the height. Some may be mounted as low as 25 feet, but a typical height will be between 40 and 60 feet. Some stadium lights, such as those used in major sporting venues, may be mounted well over 100 feet high while still being able to produce 300+ footcandles on the ground, which is a truly amazing feat. Most street lights and parking lot lights, in contrast, are mounted in the range of 20 to 30 feet, with the beam angle significantly wider and have from 10-20 footcandles of illuminance on the ground.
They are energy efficient, dynamic, and easily controlled. LED is the new leader of stadium lights. You can use them for basketball, baseball, soccer, or football.
