1600W LED Round Flood Lights - Your Direct MH Light Replacement

Metal Halide (MH) lights have been the primer choice for sports fields since the 1960s. Their ability to emit bright white light, combined with a long lifespan and greater efficiency than incandescent lights, made them popular for decades. However, since around 2008, advancements in LED technology have led many sports facilities to upgrade from MH to LED lighting. LED sports lights are more powerful, energy-efficient, and modern, making them an attractive option.

Yet, the high initial costs and complexity of installation can make some sports facility operators hesitant to switch. That’s where our 1600W LED round flood light comes in. It’s designed to directly replace outdated 2000W MH lights, offering a one-to-one upgrade without the need for additional construction or structural changes.

Why You Should Replace MH Lights with LEDs

Still unsure about the need to replace MH lights with LEDs? Let’s take a closer look at how MH lights work and their limitations.

Understanding MH lights

Metal Halide (MH) lights use a mix of vaporized mercury and metal halide compounds, contained within a quartz or ceramic arc tube. When an electric arc passes between two electrodes, it heats the mercury, causing it to vaporize and emit intense light. However, MH lights require a ballast to regulate the current and provide the high voltage needed to start the arc.

From this, we can see some key drawbacks of MH lights:

• Environmental Concerns: MH lights contain mercury, a toxic substance that poses environmental risks.
• Slow Warm-Up: They take a long time to reach full brightness, which can be inconvenient

LED vs. MH Lights

Compared to LED flood lights, MH flood lights have many limitations. Here is a table about the comparison between LED and MH light sources:

The table shows that LED flood lights are more efficient and generate less heat, resulting in significant energy savings and lower maintenance costs. Additionally, as safety and sustainability become increasingly important, LED floodlights stand out as a non-toxic option.

LED flood lights also offer higher light quality for sports facilities. They provide a higher CRI, a broader CCT range, and dimming capabilities to meet specific needs, ensuring optimal visibility and safety during games.

So, why not make the switch from MH sports lights to LEDs?

1600W LED Round Flood Lights - One-to-one MH Light Replacement

If you're considering an upgrade from MH lights to LEDs, take a look at our FieldAura—a lightweight LED sports light designed to seamlessly replace traditional MH lighting systems. But why choose FieldAura among the many LED floodlights on the market?

Unique Round Shape: Economical and Wind-Resistant Design

Why a round floodlight? Many clients, especially from North and South America, appreciate the round design as an economical and practical solution.

Additionally, FieldAura’s round shape minimizes surface area exposed to the wind, allowing smoother airflow and reducing drag and turbulence. This compact design means a smaller windage area, measured at just 0.25 m² at a 45° angle (for 1600W, 45° EPA: 0.25 m²/0.3 ft²).

One-to-one Replacement Without Building and Construction Changes

Replacing lighting in sports facilities can be complex and costly, as fixtures are often mounted on high poles. The potential need for new construction complicates things further. FieldAura offers a straightforward solution: it’s designed for one-to-one replacement of high-power 2000W MH lights. With a similar weight and size, FieldAura can be installed easily without the need for additional building modifications or structural changes.

Lightweight yet Durable, Easy to Install

FieldAura, a 1600W high-power LED floodlight weighs only 24.5 kg, making it significantly lighter than many other options on the market. This lightweight allows for safer and easier installation on existing MH light poles. If a light is too heavy for the pole, there’s a risk of it falling during sports events, which can endanger players.

FieldAura’s lightweight design doesn’t compromise on durability. Its cold-forged housing ensures optimal thermal management. Made with low-copper aluminum alloy and treated with a special surface coating and powder finish, FieldAura achieves a C5 anti-corrosion rating. These features ensure high performance and long-lasting durability, even in extreme weather conditions.

Optimal Lighting with Precise Angle Control 

FieldAura features precise light control, directing light exactly where it’s needed to optimize sports field illumination and enhance player performance. Optional symmetric narrow and medium beams allow for tailored lighting on medium and large sports fields. The die-cast aluminum U-bracket includes an access bolt, enabling the light body to slide back and forth, while a scaled spacer between the bracket and light body allows for precise angle adjustments. Together, these features ensure uniform and targeted lighting across your sports fields.
