Sports lighting in Moscow and throughout Russia from Fossa Electric.
Our lighting designers will develop a project of external lighting for sports facilities of any scale.
Lighting for sports facilities
In Russia, outdoor sports grounds, sports stadiums and complexes are modernized every year. FOSSA ELECTRIC helps create outdoor lighting for sports facilities and bright architectural lighting.
Features of lighting for sports facilities
External lighting for sports facilities allows you to highlight their architectural details and lines, giving the buildings a unique and attractive appearance for visitors. Outdoor lighting for sports facilities is of great importance for the safety and comfort of spectators, as well as for providing conditions for holding sports events. It should provide uniform illumination of the entire area so that players and spectators can see what is happening without any shadows or blinding light.
Sports lighting
Sports lighting is the illumination of such objects as football fields and stadiums, indoor arenas, ice arenas, sports palaces and swimming pools. When developing it, the needs of all participants must be taken into account:
- athletes, coaches, competition judges;
- fans and spectators;
- photographers and media representatives recording the event.
In addition, the sports lighting of the facility must ensure the general safety of all those present. Lighting of sports grounds must meet the requirements of all stakeholder groups: The main requirements for sports lighting of open, closed and training grounds are set out in SP52.13330.2011, SNiP23-05-2010, VSN-1-73, and depend on the type of sport.
When developing a lighting project using lamps of various types and configurations, our engineers and designers take into account such standards as:
- pulsation coefficient of luminous fluxes;
- uniformity of illumination;
- color flux transmission value;
- discomfort parameter that appears in the case of intensive operation of the light source;
- value illumination.
The characteristics must be specified in the regulatory documentation governing sports lighting. Based on the documents, LED lighting equipment is designed for installation at sports facilities.
Lighting for sports facilities is developed and installed taking into account the regulatory requirements of SNiP II-A.9-71. The outdoor lighting scheme for sports grounds and stadiums is divided into two groups:
- working - general lighting that is used during training and sports events in the dark;
- emergency - provides lighting for the facility in the event of a power outage, facilitates the safe evacuation of people in the event of an emergency.
Stages of designing the lighting of the facade of a fitness club
- First, a technical task is drawn up, where significant characteristics are indicated: operating modes of lighting devices, categories of competitions for which lighting will be used.
- Based on the technical task, specific objects are analyzed, design features, type, geometry of the arena, the presence of stands, scoreboard, special additional equipment, spotlights and other equally important nuances are determined. The presented factors influence the choice and location of lighting devices.
- The design is carried out taking into account the spectacle of sports competitions, creating the maximum level of comfort for athletes and fans. Our specialists install lighting devices with a high intensity of luminous flux so that there are no "blind" zones on the site. At the same time, the lamps should not blind the participants of the competitions and spectators in the stands.
Lighting stadiums and other sports facilities is a complex job that should be performed by professionals with the appropriate experience. If the model for placing lighting devices is built correctly, it is possible to calculate with high accuracy the high-tech properties of the future open system. Sports facilities are the most demanding in terms of the quality of artificial lighting.
Benefits of Sports Facility Lighting
Advantages of choosing LED equipment
Devices and systems operating on the basis of LEDs meet modern safety requirements. The main advantage of such a choice is energy savings. LED equipment with similar lighting parameters consumes significantly less electricity (almost 70%) than standard light sources.
The lighting functions of a fitness club and other sports facilities go beyond the installation of simple light sources; it is responsible for the safety and aesthetic perception of the entire complex. You can give a sports complex a premium look simply by installing suitable lighting. LED lighting has many advantages for lighting sports facilities. Here are some of them:
- Energy efficiency: LED lamps consume significantly less energy compared to conventional lamps. This helps reduce the fitness center’s energy costs and reduce the environmental impact.
- Long lifespan: LEDs have a much longer lifespan than conventional incandescent bulbs. They can last up to 50,000 hours, meaning they don’t need to be replaced as often, saving time and money on maintenance.
- High quality light: LED bulbs provide bright, uniform, flicker-free light. This is especially important for fitness centers where customers exercise and need good visibility.
- LED bulbs are controlled by dimmers and automatic lighting systems. This allows you to adjust the brightness and color of the light depending on your needs.
- LEDs are resistant to vibration and shock, making them an ideal choice for workout areas.
- Changeable light color – some LED bulbs come with a color-changing feature. This can be used to create different lighting effects or change the lighting of fitness rooms for different types of training.
Reliability is the key to people's safety. The implementation of this parameter reduces the need for technical maintenance of devices, which is of great importance when lighting hard-to-reach places.
Lighting of sports grounds
Architectural lighting of a sports complex is installed at the following facilities:
- tennis courts;
- stadiums and football arenas;
- hockey rinks and ice palaces;
- swimming pools and SPA complexes;
- skate parks.
Lighting of outdoor sports grounds has its own characteristics that must be taken into account when choosing and installing a suitable lighting system. Here are some of them:
- It is important to ensure uniform lighting throughout the entire area to avoid shadows and glare that may affect the athletes' visibility.
- It is recommended to choose LED light sources with a color temperature of about 5000-6000K to achieve brighter and more natural lighting.
- When choosing lighting fixtures, it is necessary to consider their protection against weather conditions such as rain, snow, dust and ultraviolet radiation. They must be moisture-proof, dust-proof and have an appropriate IP protection rating.
- Lighting of sports grounds must comply with safety standards set by relevant organizations and federations, such as the International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA) or the International Athletics Federation (IAAF).
- It is recommended to use a lighting control system that allows you to adjust the brightness and operating time of the lighting depending on the needs and requirements of the sports events.

Types of outdoor lighting for sports grounds
Sports Facility Lighting Equipment
Sports ground lighting involves the use of various lighting equipment. For maximum effect, lighting fixtures are installed at different levels, have different power and technical characteristics
For lighting such sports facilities, we use:
- masts - are installed on large-area facilities, such as stadiums or open ice arenas;
- supports - the optimal solution for volleyball, hockey and basketball courts located outdoors;
- luminaires - zonal illumination of individual areas;
- floodlights are the main source of light on the site.
All lighting equipment is selected taking into account outdoor installation, therefore it is reliably protected from weather conditions and accidental damage. We install LED lamps of our own production, which flood the area with bright light, but consume a minimum of electricity.
Stages of work
- we evaluate the object and make photo recordings;
- we prepare a computer model;
- we calculate the optimal power of the lamps and their location;
- we order equipment and installation metal structures;
- we prepare technical documentation;
- we coordinate the project with supervisory authorities.
