Why should we replace halogen bulbs for sports stadium?

1. Excessive heat given out

Halogen bulb can easily heat up the stadium, so the football players and audience may feel discomfort particularly in summer. To light up the halogen bulb, the filament inside the bulb is needed to be heated up to thousands of degrees to generate visible light. However, LED doesn’t require this heating up process, so we can keep the stadium cool after the halogen replacement.

2. Short life span

If you are using halogen bulbs in the stadium, you may find it is fairly painful to replace the bulbs from time to time. You will need to do so because each halogen bulb lasts for only 1000 to 3000 hours, which is quite similar to incandescent bulb. Apart from wasting money to buy the new 1000W or 2000W halogen bulbs, we also need to spend much on installation. Nevertheless, using LED lights can greatly improve this.

Our stadium LED light has the much longer life span of 50,000 to 80,000 hours. Replacing the halogen lights with LED can definitely save your subsequent installation cost, so you can allocate much resource in other part of the stadium.

3. Easy to break

Most halogen bulbs are consisted of grass and other delicate parts, the fast-moving football, cricket or tennis balls may easily break the halogen bulbs. We can say the halogen bulb is less resistant to shatter, particularly when we are using the lamps in the stadium. Having the durable lights can also improve the stadium security.

On the contrary, LED is more durable and resistant to break as the LED chips are covered by the sturdy polycarbonate lens or other transparent material. These lighting fixtures, and thus, can even resist the strong impact inside the stadium.

4. Sensitive to touch

Interesting, it is not recommended to touch the surface of the halogen bulbs. One of the reasons is that you may easily get burnt as the surface is extremely hot after turning the halogen bulb for a while. Another important reason is that the oil of our fingertip may leave on the bulb surface. The oil will slightly alter the imbalanceand thus cause the bulb to break suddenly.

However, we don’t need to worry about this after replacing the 1000 to 2000W halogen bulbs with LED stadium lights. This is because we use polycarbonate lens instead of grass to cover the light source. LED is also much cooler to touch.
