Gymnasium Lighting Fixtures

About

The importance of the dedicated lighting system for your gymnasium or sports complex needs no emphasis. To be the toughest, and the best at whatever sport fits your bill, you need to at least see things in a clear light. This is where LED Gym lightings come into the picture. When people come in to exercise in a gym or in an arena, one thing that they expect is proper lighting. If the lighting in your gym doesn’t meet that expectation, you lose business, as simple as that! Conventional lighting fixtures give out an uneven light, sometimes causing hot spots, or sometimes causing glare both of which dampen the experience of the gym-goers. Major challenges in lighting up the gym The first major challenge with commercial gym lighting is about the height. Usually, ceilings above 20ft require high bay lights. This becomes a problem because a lift will be required for repair and maintenance of the fixture. Another issue is that large sports arenas are multipurpose spaces that double or even triple up as auditoriums, community meeting centers and more. Therefore different type of lighting is required for each of these activities. Last but not the least, it is crucial that the light does not cause glare. Gym-goers spend a considerable amount of their time in the gym looking up at the ceiling when the exercise. Bright lights which can cause a glare should be avoided in such a scenario. Things to keep in mind while choosing the lighting for your gym The height of the ceiling is perhaps the most impor6tant fact determining the type of light that you will install in your gym. On a low ceiling, integrated tubes will work but on a ceiling higher than 20ft linear or UFO high bay lights will be used. Next, the layout of the gym will play an important role in deciding the kind of light you will be using in your gym. In a small space, you might perhaps install Integrated tubes whereas in a large space you will use high bay lights, UFO or Linear. The hours of operation also play a part
