Sports facilities optimally illuminated
Whether small pitches, sports fields or training grounds for football, hockey, tennis etc., with the powerful, energy-efficient and durable AREALO 2 floodlights you can always illuminate sports facilities to optimum effect - naturally in compliance with the requirements of DIN 12193.
Simple, cost-effective mounting
- low total weight, low mast load
- quick electrical connection due to outlaying electrical connection box
- easy ECG exchange, no lifting platforms required (OV version)
Highly economical
- high luminous efficacy up to
184 lm/W - extremely long service life L90 > 100,000 h
- maximum energy cost savings through needs-based light management with LIMAS Air
Environmentally friendly & future-proof
- GreenLine luminaire, outstanding sustainable design
- eco-friendly, no light emission into the upper half-space, ULOR=0
- sustainable, replaceable components
Intelligent control options
Simply switching the spotlights of a sports facility on and off is neither efficient, nor cost-saving and environmentally friendly. Therefore, when converting to LED luminaires, fundamentally possible control functions should also be considered.
Dimming
The simplest way is to dim the floodlight system via DALI. Since the maximum illuminance is usually only required for match and competition operation, the light can be sensibly regulated by continuously dimming the luminaires or switching on preset lighting levels in training mode.
This is easily possible with the DIMD version of AREALO 2 and DALI cabling to the masts, and ensures high energy cost savings.
LIMAS Air
With RFLO luminaires and a light management controller (RFL LIMAS Air HUB TRI), your floodlight system becomes smart. Configuration and control are carried out using a free app via a smart device - individually per luminaire, in groups or per pole unit (accessories required). In conjunction with push-buttons, pre-programmed scenes can also be conveniently called up, e.g. competition mode, training or half-field lighting. Neither an internet connection nor a gateway is required for this. This efficient and demand-led control system reduces operating times and maximises energy cost savings.

Planning examples of sports field lighting
The basis for planning is the DIN EN 12193 regulation. It defines clear standards for illuminance, uniformity, glare limitation and color rendering for different lighting classes.
Lighting classes
1
High-performance competitions • international and national competitions with high visual requirements • high-performance training
2
Intermediate level competitions • Regional competitions with medium visual requirements • Performance training
3
Simple competitions • local competitions • school sports • general leisure sports • general training
Requirements
| lighting class | mean horizontal illuminance (Em) | uniformity (Uo) |
| 1 | ≥ 500 lx | ≥ 0.7 |
| 2 | ≥ 200 lx | ≥ 0.6 |
| 3 | ≥ 75 lx | ≥ 0.5 |
Example I: football field, lighting class 3, 6-pole system
