There are many factors to consider when choosing the an upgrade for your sporting facility: Be it surfaces or stadium seating, there are a myriad number of options available & sports lighting is no exception.

So how does Legacy's range of LED Sport Lighting measure up when compared to traditional metal halide lights?

1-For-1 Replacement of Metal Halide

The Legacy system has been purposely designed to offer direct one-for-one replacement for 2kW Metal Halide modules.  This not only is for the light output but weight and sail area too, ensuring existing poles can be used, avoiding expensive upgrades to poles and power.

Superior Definition

Whether you’re a small local outfit or a professional club, there are options from 70 to 90 CRI ensure you have the appropriate visibility and definition.

Whilst Metal Halide lamps have a good CRI when new, they start deteriorating within the first 100 hours of use and within 250 hours are only operating at 75% efficiency.

Unlike these traditional lighting systems, LED’s have maintain their performance over an extended period, typically 50000 hours.  This guarantees that the light is operating at a high level throughout the life of the fittings.

App-Based Control & Feedback

By utilising the Legacy app you can gain remote control of lighting levels or reports on power usage, helping you to optimise the use of the lights.

Other options include charging for usage outside of normal club hours and timers for remote settings.

40% Less Power Consumption

By replacing 2kW metal Halide fittings with 1.2kW LED modules, power consumption is reduced by 40% immediately.

Additionally, due to the rapid deterioration of MH lamps, savings of nearer 50% should be realised.

Alternately, if you’re looking to upgrade the amount of light on the field this can be done without upgrading your power usage.

90% Less Maintenance

One of the key long-term advantages of LED is that there is no required maintenance for 50000 hours, apart from occasional cleaning.  No bulbs to replace annually, no scissor lifts to hire, just high performance lighting all year round

Instant On

With LED lighting there is no warm up period but are instantly operating at full power.  If you have a power interruption, the lights will be back on the moment the electricity is flowing so there are no inconvenient waiting times.
