Project photo: Kahlenberger HTC, Mülheim an der RuhrChoose a sport, set the lighting class and see how precisely LED floodlighting lights only where the game happens.
Illustration, not a lighting calculation. Reference values to DIN EN 12193 for outdoor facilities; federations may set different requirements. More in the guide sports pitch lighting.
Floodlighting lights a large area from a few high points. Instead of many luminaires close above the area, individual poles stand at its edge with their floodlights aimed at the field. That keeps the area free of equipment and makes maintenance predictable – but it does require every floodlight to point exactly where the light is needed.
Two floodlights with the same power output can light an area very differently. What matters is the beam angle. Series 12 is available with 20° and 40° optics, and both can be combined within a single floodlight: distant parts of the area get the narrower optic, the near field the wider one. That puts the output where it is needed.
For sport and for work it is not the brightest spot that counts, but the ratio between light and dark. Where the eye keeps jumping between two brightness levels it tires, and a ball disappears into the shadow. That is why we plan floodlighting not by wattage but as a lighting calculation, using the photometric data of the luminaires actually installed.
Light that lands beside the area is lost twice over: it is missing on the pitch and standing in a neighbour's window. Each of the six modules of Series 12 tilts individually, so the distribution can end at the property line. Which requirements apply depends on the location – from state law to the local development plan.

ViewFloodlighting lights large areas from a few high points. The floodlights sit on poles at the edge of the area and are aimed at it. Typical applications are sports pitches, industrial sites, storage and handling areas, ports and large car parks.
A street or yard luminaire spreads its light broadly around its own position. A floodlight throws it in a directed beam onto a distant area. That is why floodlighting systems sit higher, are tilted and work with narrower optics – and why the result depends more on the aiming than on the power output.
Series 12 is available with 20° and 40°, and both optics can be mixed within a single floodlight. As a rule of thumb: the further a floodlight is from the part of the area it is meant to light, the narrower the optic. Which mixture fits in a given case comes out of the lighting calculation.
There is no general answer. It depends on the size and shape of the area, on the required illuminance and uniformity, on the pole height, and on where poles can be placed at all. We work this out in advance with the photometric data of the luminaires, before any quantities appear in a quotation.
Yes. Series 12 has a 0–10 V interface. This allows different levels for training, match play and competition, as well as a reduction in the later hours.
Series 12 is rated IP66 and IK10 and specified for a range from −40 °C to +50 °C. The housing is die-cast aluminium.
