SoCalREN Measures | LED Sports Field Lighting

Sports field lighting can be a high monthly utility cost as many fields still have HID (High-Intensity Discharge), specifically Metal Halide lights. Many public agencies would like to switch out their older lights for new LEDs, but there is an upfront cost barrier. 

LED sports field lighting has been around for a long time, and the technology continues to evolve year after year. LEDs typically save around 70% on the cost of electricity vs HID/Metal Halide lights of the same power. LED lights produce the same brightness year after year, eliminating the need to replace them often. Another big advantage of LEDs, especially for sports events or field lighting, is that they turn on instantly. Metal halide lights require a few minutes to power up, disrupting in case of a power outage.  

If your public agency is considering an upgrade, we're here to support you. SoCalREN is actively seeking to create a procurement cooperative with a group of public agencies. This collaborative approach will help reduce the cost of purchasing LED lighting.
