Engineered for compliance with French EN 12193 standards, presenting high luminous efficacy and low UGR profiles.
The transition of French municipal sports arenas from traditional high-pressure sodium and metal halide fixtures to intelligent solid-state LED systems has accelerated post-2024. Driven by strict energy sobriety plans (Plan de Sobriété Énergétique) and carbon reduction policies from organizations like ADEME (French Agency for Ecological Transition), project operators face strict criteria.
French standards require strict adherence to code NF EN 12193, which categorizes sports field lighting criteria into three lighting classes. From Class I (national and international matches requiring up to 750 lux and high vertical uniformity for HDTV transmission) to Class III (recreational and training events requiring 75-200 lux), luminaires must manage glare control (UGR < 22) and spill light control (ULOR = 0%) to prevent light pollution in suburban French residential zones.
Lukas Lighting provides the engineering precision required by French contracting companies, supplying customizable optics, high impact resistance (IK08-IK10), and robust thermal management systems designed for decades of uninterrupted operation.
Detailed architectural criteria required by French sports associations and local planning units (PLU).
| Application Area | Illumination Class (EN 12193) | Target Horizontal Illuminance (Eh) | Uniformity Ratio (U0) | Glare Limit (GR / UGR) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| National/Pro Soccer D1 (Ligue 1/2 Competitions) | Class I (FIFA/FFF Standard) | ≥ 800 - 1400 Lux | ≥ 0.7 | ≤ 50 (GR) |
| Municipal & Amateur Football (Regional Competitions) | Class II | ≥ 200 - 500 Lux | ≥ 0.6 | ≤ 50 (GR) |
| Local Clubs & School Training Pitches | Class III | ≥ 75 - 150 Lux | ≥ 0.5 | ≤ 55 (GR) |
| FFT Standard Padel Court (Indoor/Outdoor) | Class I / II | ≥ 300 - 500 Lux | ≥ 0.7 | ≤ 22 (UGR) |
| Outdoor Clay & Hardcourt Tennis Complexes | Class II / III | ≥ 300 - 500 Lux | ≥ 0.6 | ≤ 50 (GR) |
A professional manufacturer specializing in intelligent and energy-efficient municipal, industrial, and high mast sports lighting solutions.
Established in 1998, Jiangsu Lukas Lighting Co., Ltd. has spent over two decades developing high-performance outdoor illumination systems. Located in Jiangsu, China, our modern production base covers approximately 11,000 square meters, staffed by experienced optical engineers and structural technicians to ensure high-quality standards.
With continuous investment in research and development, Lukas Lighting has expanded its product portfolio to include LED street lights, solar street lights, smart lighting systems, landscape lighting, and customized municipal sports field lighting systems. Our manufacturing facility utilizes high-precision machinery, SMT assembly lines, and advanced photometric testing chambers to confirm that every high mast fixture matches global safety, energy, and mechanical tolerances.
Utilizing automated lines and high-capacity equipment, we deliver high-volume projects on tight municipal timelines.
Every step of production complies with ISO9001 regulations, backed by global patents in thermal management and optical lens design.
Offering seamless turnkey custom services: from initial Dialux light simulation to structural drawings, manufacturing, and shipping.
Pioneering green energy components, IoT smart controls, and high mast solar hybrid topologies to meet net-zero requirements.
Our facilities feature high-precision CNC laser cutters, SMT assembly lines, robotic welding stations, and specialized powder-coating lines to produce sports luminaires that perform in harsh environments.
Complete project fixtures, prefabricated structures, and high mast installations for indoor arenas and outdoor athletic complexes.
A projection of advancements in optics, controls, and material science shaping European athletics infrastructure through 2030.
Modern training grounds in France are beginning to deploy tunable white (CCT 3000K to 6500K) fixtures. Aligning light spectrum exposure with athletes' circadian rhythms optimizes recovery post-training and matches.
Next-generation high mast fixtures feature intelligent node sockets integrating temperature sensors, driver health trackers, and tilt monitors. Problems are communicated via NB-IoT or LoRaWAN to prevent match delays.
Replacing standard PC/PMMA lenses with UV-stabilized silicone optics minimizes yellowing under intense outdoor exposure. Advanced internal structures route light to minimize glare for players and fans.
Key technical and logistics inquiries regarding sports field luminaire distribution and contracting in France.
The main standard is NF EN 12193 (Lumière et Éclairage - Éclairage des installations sportives). It defines the required light levels (lux), color rendering index (CRI ≥ 70-80), glare limits (GR), and uniformity ratios based on the classification of the competition. Additionally, the French decree of December 27, 2018, regulates light pollution, requiring sports facilities to turn off lighting systems soon after events conclude and strictly limiting upward light pollution (ULOR).
Traditional symmetrical floodlights project light in a wide cone, spreading light beyond the play area into neighboring yards. Asymmetric optical lenses direct the beam at a steep angle, maintaining high horizontal illumination on the court while cutting off backward light to prevent glare and comply with municipal planning codes.
Yes. Our LED luminaires support DALI, DALI-2, and 0-10V dimming interfaces. They are compatible with European control networks (such as KNX or wireless Zigbee/LoRa controllers), allowing stadium managers to monitor power draw and dim individual zones from central software.
Custom systems (with specific optical arrays, drivers, or mechanical brackets) typically require 2 to 4 weeks for production. Shipping from our manufacturing hub in Jiangsu to French ports (e.g., Le Havre or Marseille) usually takes 4 to 5 weeks via sea freight. Air freight is also available for urgent project requirements.
