Product Overview

The AFL Series LED Sports Field Lighting System represents a decisive advancement in professional-grade stadium and recreational field illumination. Engineered for facilities that demand consistent, high-output performance, the AFL Series is available in seven wattage configurations spanning 240W to 1,800W — enabling precise system design for everything from community athletic complexes to broadcast-ready professional venues.

 

What sets the AFL Series apart in the commercial market is its infrastructure-compatible form factor. Each fixture is purpose-built to physically replace legacy metal halide and HID luminaires — including widely deployed models from Philips (MVF024, MVH-401/403/406 Arena Vision, MVF408-CAT1-1800W, NHF003) and Thorn (Mundial) — without requiring new poles, crossarms, demolition work, or foundation reinforcement. Facility owners and procurement managers gain a direct upgrade path that dramatically reduces both capital expenditure and project timelines.

 

Powered by premium Lumileds and CREE LED chips operating at up to 230 lm/W, and driven by Philips, Mean Well, or Inventronics power supplies, the AFL Series delivers measurably superior uniformity, color quality, and long-term reliability versus legacy discharge-lamp systems — with an operating temperature range of −40°C to +60°C and an IP66 weatherproof rating for year-round outdoor deployment.

 

2.  Key Features

5.  Applications

The AFL Series is engineered for demanding outdoor lighting environments where consistent illumination levels, energy efficiency, and long-term reliability are critical procurement priorities. Suitable applications include:

 

• Professional and semi-professional soccer / football stadiums
• Baseball and softball fields — including minor and major league facilities
• Track and field complexes requiring broadcast-compliant horizontal illumination
• Tennis courts and multi-sport facilities requiring even surface distribution
• Rugby and field hockey venues with full-perimeter light coverage requirements
• High school and collegiate athletic complexes
