Wrestling Mat Lighting Case Study | 600W LED Stadium Light
This case study focuses on a lighting solution for a 40ft x 40ft wrestling mat, designed for recreational and training-level use (Class IV). The objective was to provide consistent, high-quality illumination that meets the recommended average illuminance of 20-30 foot-candles (fc) with a uniformity ratio of 3.0.
Wrestling Mat Lighting Design
Below is a wrestling mat lighting design crafted by our certified team of professional lighting engineers and product specialists. This design is tailored to meet the specific requirements of Class IV recreational and training-level competition. By carefully evaluating the necessary light levels, uniformity, and glare control, our team selected an 800W LED sports light with a 45-degree optic to achieve optimal performance.
While the end zones have slightly lower average illumination, the uniformity across the field overall is notably better than the recommended ratio. The design ensures adequate light levels for routine drills, scrimmages, and general practice needs, providing players and coaches with reliable evening visibility without excessive glare or spillage.
Fixture: 800W LED Sports Light
Optic: 45-degree beam angle
Mounting Height: 50 feet
Target Standard: Class IV (Recreational/Training Level)
Performance Results:
Average Illumination: 26 fc
Maximum Illumination: 46 fc
Uniformity Ratio: 2.8
Results
The 600W sports light delivered exceptional illumination across the wrestling mat, achieving the desired light levels and uniformity while maintaining energy efficiency. The client was highly satisfied with the outcome, noting the clear and evenly distributed light, which enhances both training quality and athlete performance. This project highlights the importance of precision lighting design in indoor sports applications, ensuring optimal safety, performance, and cost-effectiveness.
