  • LED
  •  

  • The lights turned on at night. The LED lighting modules have a long operating life of 40000 hours that contributes to reduced maintenance costs.

  • After sufficient consideration of light-leakage into the surrounding area, the 560W LEDioc FLOOD DUELL high-output LED floodlights (medium-angle) have louvers that prevent light-leakage attached.

  • With a brightness equivalent to 1000W metal halide lamps, 560W LEDioc FLOOD DUELL lights light the baseball fields, creating a bright and comfortable night-game lighting environment while realizing power savings.

  • A daytime view of the baseball fields.

  • A night-time view of the multipurpose sports ground, which is compatible with a variety of uses including soccer, rugby, lacrosse and American football.

  • A daytime view of the multipurpose sports ground.

  • The green of the artificial turf is vividly illuminated by LED lighting, which covers the entire sports ground in uniform light.

  • The lights turned on at night. LED lighting can be turned on or off instantaneously as required, which contributes to user-friendliness.

  • LEDioc TENNISTER lights compatible with the existing frames were installed for a change to LED that avoided a change to the atmosphere, and also realized power savings and a reduction in electricity costs.

  • A night-time view of the 2 artificial-turf futsal courts. LEDioc TENNISTER lights have been arranged in the corners to ensure sufficient brightness.

  • A daytime view of the futsal courts.

  • The installed twin-lamp LEDioc TENNISTER lights.

Location

Edogawa City Rinkai Ball-Game Field uses the roughly 50000m² of space on top of the Kasai Water Recycling Center to provide a full range of facilities including 4 youth-baseball fields (2 fields when used normally), 2 multipurpose sports grounds (2 grounds for soccer, and 1 for rugby, lacrosse, and American football), and 2 futsal courts. From December 2017 until March 2018, Edogawa City carried out renovations on the lighting equipment, changing the night-game lighting to LED after considering the contributions it would make to power conservation and reduced electricity costs, and the absence of workload and expense involved when changing lamps.

LEDioc FLOOD DUELL high-output LED floodlights were installed in place of the previous HID floodlights, using the existing lighting poles and frames to leave the facility's image unchanged. The white light from the HID lamps gave a dim impression, but the strong white color from the LEDs has brightened up the entire facility. The brightness has been kept at the same level, but dimming is now possible, so a brightness level taking into account the maintenance rate has been adopted, which has in turn enabled brightness to be maintained over long time periods. Before the renovations, users had to wait while the lights warmed up when they were turned on, but the upgrade to LED lighting means they can be turned on instantaneously, and feedback on this has been extremely positive. A condition regarding the futsal courts was the use of the existing lighting poles, so the change to LED was made by installing LEDioc TENNISTER lights, which left the impression of the facility unchanged. Instantaneous lighting has also been made possible in the same way for the baseball fields and multipurpose sports grounds, with similar positive feedback also being received.

Sufficient consideration was given to light-leakage in the change to LED lighting, as the surrounding area includes a Ferris wheel and transportation facilities such as an expressway and train line. In particular, the height of the lighting and the height of the expressway are roughly the same, so light-leakage has been controlled by using louvers so that the LED light will not be in the line of sight of drivers. The result has been the creation of a pleasant lighting environment.
