Efficient Lighting
A Focus on Efficient Lighting
Operating sporting venues large or small often comes with significant energy costs, particularly when it comes to lighting. Let's focus below on how you and your clubs can reduce financial burdens by enhancing your lighting efficiency.
SHEDDING A LITTLE LIGHT ON LIGHTING EFFICIENCY
Switching to LED Lighting
One of the most cost-effective measures to reduce energy use is replacing traditional lighting fixtures with LED lights. LEDs use up to 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs and last up to 25 times longer. Though the upfront cost of LEDs is higher, the reduced energy consumption and longer lifespan lead to substantial savings over time.
Using Sensors or Zone Controls
Investing in sensors (PIR’s) or zone controls can further reduce energy costs. These systems only activate lights when motion is detected or when a specific zone is in use. With this technology, clubs can eliminate wastage from lights left on when areas are unoccupied.
Using Energy-Efficient Floodlights
Lighting for outdoor fields and courts can significantly contribute to a club's energy bill. Replacing traditional halogen or metal halide floodlights with energy-efficient LED variants can reduce energy consumption while providing equivalent or superior illumination. LEDs have the added benefit of an instant start-up, unlike traditional floodlights that require warm-up time.
Taking steps to reduce energy costs is about more than just financial savings—it's about ensuring that community sports clubs can continue their vital work in an economically sustainable manner. By implementing the measures above, clubs can lessen their financial burdens and focus on what they do best: creating enjoyable spaces for their communities to participate and watch sport.
