Sports Lighting Offers Opportunity for Savings

The newest innovation from Qualite is the Green Star Series™, which utilizes a high-wattage electronic ballast system that generates more lumens per watt. In other words, it generates more light while consuming the same amount of watts as a standard core-on-coil ballast system.

Lighting is a significant expense when it comes to running a sports facility, and the desire for more energy efficient or green lighting, at outdoor sports venues is following national trends.
 
The recognition of how much electricity is spent at parks and outdoor athletic venues has inspired Qualite Sports Lighting to offer a variety of complete lighting solutions that reduce electricity consumption and save money.
 
The desire for more efficient lighting is following national trends. The U.S. Energy Information Administration found that 13.5 percent of all the electricity used in the country was for lighting. Most industries, including sports, are using solutions reduce energy consumption and energy bills.
 
One solution is to help facilities’ lighting systems produce the same amount of light with fewer fixtures and at a lower wattage, saving money through reduced electricity costs.
 
Controlling the amount of light on the field is important. Efficient fixtures control the light coming from the fixture so that more light illuminates its intended location. Not only can this lead to a reduction in the number of fixtures that are required, but it also reduces off-site spill and glare.
