The Chromabeams Supernova 1500 represents the pinnacle of outdoor LED sports lighting, offering unmatched brightness and versatility for large-scale venues. With an impressive 1450W of LED power, the fixture produces over 161,000 lumens, making it capable of illuminating the world’s largest stadiums and sports fields. The patented cooling system keeps the fixture cool to the touch, even during extended periods of operation, while the CRI range of 70 to 90 ensures crisp, high-fidelity color reproduction. Eliminating plastics in the light path preserves optical quality, delivering uniform light distribution without glare or color distortion. The Chromabeams Supernova 1500 has been trusted by professional leagues, including the NFL, and remains a reliable choice for stadium lighting and high-powered sports applications.
The fixture combines full RGB capabilities with tunable white light, creating a versatile lighting solution for both sporting events and entertainment. Its innovative single-glass optic lens distributes light evenly across wide areas, producing a uniform lumen density of 346 lumens per square inch. This broad optic system significantly reduces glare, which is a common issue in conventional sports lighting that relies on plastic lenses. With over a decade of design experience in Hollywood broadcasting, Sportsbeams has perfected this technology to deliver stadium-grade performance without sacrificing brightness or visual clarity. The Chromabeams Supernova 1500 allows for immersive visual experiences, enabling dynamic color changes and high-quality white light for every type of event.
The fixture’s construction emphasizes durability and reliability. Active military-grade cooling extends the lifespan of components, reduces fixture weight, and allows mounting at any angle while maintaining optimal operating temperatures. The cooling system employs exterior-rated fans capable of over 490,000 hours of operation in diverse weather conditions, maintaining consistent internal temperatures and protecting sensitive electronics. Ambient air is drawn in at variable speeds to match environmental conditions, while heat fins carry energy away from LEDs and drivers, ensuring continuous cooling. The Chromabeams Supernova 1500 provides dependable performance in extreme environments, both indoor and outdoor, and is capable of withstanding rigorous use over long periods.
The lighting technology supports professional broadcast quality white light and a full spectrum of saturated RGB colors within a single fixture. Chromabeams Supernova 1500 offers up to three times the LED density of comparable fixtures, maximizing brightness and vibrancy. Unlike competitors, the fixture avoids plastic lenses, maintaining true RGB output and high-powered white light, which ensures complete coverage for large venues. This combination of patented optics, high LED density, and robust construction allows the fixture to deliver both vivid colors and broadcast-quality white lighting simultaneously, making it suitable for sports, concerts, and large-scale entertainment events.
Technical specifications highlight the fixture’s capability for high-power performance with efficient energy use. Lumen output ranges from 121,271 to 167,977, with a lumen-to-watt ratio of 92 to 124 LM/W. CRI options of 75/75, 80/75, and 90/85 are available, with correlated color temperature (CCT) options ranging from 2200K to 6000K. The fixture operates at 1410W, with input voltages from 277V to 500V AC and 51V DC, and maintains a power factor of 0.9 at 277V. Surge protection is built-in, with L-N 5.5kV and L-N-PE 11kV ratings, while over-temperature, over-voltage, and overload protections provide automatic recovery.
Construction and environmental durability make the Chromabeams Supernova 1500 suitable for extreme indoor and outdoor conditions. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to +40°C, with RoHS, FCC, and salt spray compliance (MIL-STD-810). Mounting options include pedestal and pendant configurations, with an effective projected area (EPA) of 3.59 ft with or without a visor. The fixture weighs approximately 75 lbs, combining substantial output with rugged yet efficient design, suitable for demanding stadium and sports field applications.
This fixture is ideal for stadium lighting, auditoriums, scholastic and municipal sports fields, high mast lighting, and wall wash applications. Its combination of high luminous output, uniform distribution, full-spectrum color options, and rugged construction sets a new standard in outdoor sports and event lighting, ensuring optimal visual experiences for players, spectators, and broadcast requirements alike.
