The U.S. Sports Light Series represents a purpose-built, high-powered LED solution tailored to meet the demanding lighting requirements of American sports venues. Developed to balance optimal visibility, safety, and visual comfort, the system ensures peak performance for athletes, spectators, and surrounding communities alike. Every aspect of its design reflects a commitment to reliability, longevity, and environmental responsibility, making it a trusted choice for sports facilities ranging from local fields to professional stadiums.
At the heart of this lighting solution is the Symmetry Luminaire, a fixture crafted to meet IES lighting standards across every level of play. Its dual-optic system ensures precise control of horizontal and vertical light uniformity, minimizing glare and light spill while delivering exceptional brightness and clarity on the field. The luminaire’s integrated optical engineering supports an all-in-one design that helps reduce light pollution, enhances playability, and contributes to a better fan and community experience.
Built to withstand the harshest outdoor conditions, the Symmetry Series combines durability, performance, and efficiency in one compact design. Each luminaire is manufactured using a stainless-steel chassis that provides outstanding structural strength and corrosion resistance—an essential advantage for facilities exposed to demanding weather or coastal environments. A proprietary extruded aluminum heat sink, developed in-house, ensures superior heat dissipation compared to conventional die-cast systems. The larger surface area keeps operating temperatures lower, thereby minimizing lumen degradation and extending both the fixture’s lifespan and its lighting consistency over time.
The Symmetry’s optical system also benefits from in-house lens technology designed to deliver industry-leading asymmetric distribution. This precision allows designers to achieve required light levels with fewer fixtures, lower energy consumption, and improved glare control—creating efficient and visually comfortable lighting for players and audiences alike. Each luminaire integrates a robust two-step surge protection system rated up to 15kA / 20kV, ensuring long-term reliability and protection from electrical disturbances.
Wireless control capability comes standard with Synapse plug-and-play technology, simplifying system configuration and management. The luminaire’s mechanical design further enhances its ease of use, incorporating a uniquely engineered bracket and cable retractor system that facilitate quick installation for both retrofit and new construction projects. All components within the luminaire are individually IP66 certified, confirming complete protection against dust and water ingress.
The Symmetry Series operates under comprehensive integrated management systems certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001, underscoring its quality, environmental care, and occupational safety standards. It is also UL certified for the U.S. market, meeting all necessary electrical and safety requirements.
Performance specifications highlight the luminaire’s power and precision. The Symmetry R1000 produces up to 130,000 lumens while the Symmetry R1100 reaches 150,000 lumens, with power consumption ranging from 1000W to 1180W. Multiple color temperature options—3000K, 4000K, 5000K, and 5700K—ensure adaptability across diverse sports and visual preferences. The system supports CRI values of 70, 80, or 90, allowing lighting designers to achieve desired color rendering for broadcast and competitive play. Each unit houses 256 high-output LEDs behind an anti-yellowing polycarbonate optical matrix for long-lasting clarity and uniformity.
Physically, the luminaire is constructed for strength and precision. Its stainless-steel chassis and powder-coated finish provide corrosion resistance, while anodized extruded aluminum heat sinks (with less than 0.1% copper content) enhance cooling performance. Measuring 28 x 16.9 x 16.8 inches and weighing 50.7 lbs, the luminaire maintains a balanced profile with an EPA of 2.30 ft². The yoke bracket with a central ¾-inch bolt ensures secure mounting, even under high wind loads, and the fixture achieves an IK09 impact rating for physical durability.
The separate driver unit, measuring 16.8 x 4 x 7.3 inches and weighing 15 lbs, carries an IP67 protection rating for safe operation in outdoor environments. Electrical performance includes a voltage range of 277–480V AC at 50–60Hz, a power factor of at least 0.96, and robust surge protection of 10kV line-to-earth and 6kV line-to-line. Safety measures such as IEC Class I insulation, auto-recovery short circuit protection, and thermal output reduction during overheating contribute to system reliability.
The Symmetry Series operates dependably in extreme environmental conditions, from -40°F to +130°F, with humidity tolerance up to 94%. This wide operating range makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, from community parks to large professional arenas. In every aspect—from optical performance and structural resilience to energy management and control integration—the Symmetry Series exemplifies the next generation of sports lighting solutions for U.S. venues.
