LED Sports Field Light 500W 20° – Stadium & High Mast – 5000K – Philips Driver

Why choose the LED Sports Field Light 500W

High-mast sports lighting demands a fitting that throws light accurately over long distances without spill onto neighbouring properties or into players' eyes. The 20° beam concentrates all 85,000 lm precisely where it is needed, the Philips driver ensures stable output across the full operating life, and the die-cast aluminium housing handles everything from winter frost to summer heat without compromise.

• Efficiency: At 170 lm/W, this fitting produces the same illuminance as a 2500W metal halide lamp while drawing only 500W, cutting your energy bill by roughly €1,200 per fitting per year at average Belgian electricity rates.
• Precision optics: The 20° narrow beam is designed for mounting heights of 15–25 metres, delivering uniform lux levels across the pitch without excessive light scatter beyond the playing area.
• Build quality: The die-cast aluminium body with IP66 sealing withstands driving rain, dust ingress, and operating temperatures from -20°C to 55°C, making it equally suited to open-air stadiums and covered arenas.
• Driver and warranty: The integrated Philips driver maintains consistent colour and output throughout the 50,000-hour lifespan, backed by a 5-year manufacturer warranty for complete peace of mind.

Where to use it

This 500W floodlight is the right choice for football pitches, athletics tracks, rugby grounds, and multi-use sports parks where masts stand between 15 and 25 metres. It is equally well suited to basketball courts, padel courts, and tennis facilities requiring competition-level illuminance of 300–500 lux. Indoor arenas with high ceilings and outdoor stadiums with tiered seating both benefit from the controlled 20° beam.

What the specifications mean in practice

• 170 lm/W: Every watt of electricity produces 170 lumens of usable light, so you need fewer fittings to reach your target lux level, reducing both capital cost and ongoing energy spend.
• 20° beam angle: A narrow throw designed for mast heights of 15–25 metres; it concentrates light on the playing surface and minimises glare for players, spectators, and nearby residents.
• 5000K: A crisp daylight-white colour temperature that improves contrast and ball visibility, and renders accurately on broadcast cameras without post-production colour correction.
• IP66: Fully sealed against dust and powerful water jets, so the fitting can be installed on open-air masts and cleaned with a pressure washer without voiding the warranty.
• 50,000 hours: At four hours of use per evening, this fitting will run for more than 34 years before reaching its rated end-of-life, eliminating the frequent re-lamping that metal halide installations require.

Installation and compatibility

The fitting accepts 200–240V AC and connects via the Philips driver's 1-10V interface for smooth dimming, useful for training sessions or broadcast schedules requiring different lux levels. Standard yoke brackets allow mounting on round or square masts. Clightstore provides a free DIALux light study to confirm mast positions, fitting quantities, and uniformity ratios before you order.
