Flood Lights for Cricket Ground, Box Cricket & Turf

It depends on the ground type. Practice nets need 100W per lane. Box cricket and 5-a-side turf need 300W fixtures on four corner poles - typically 1,200W to 2,400W in total. Community grounds of 60 to 80 m need 3,600W to 7,200W. Full-size club and stadium grounds need 500W to 1000W fixtures on 15 to 40 m poles.

Recreational and box cricket play well at 150 to 250 lux. School and community grounds want 250 to 350. Club match cricket wants 300 to 500. Televised professional cricket runs 750 to 2,500 lux - a standard nobody building a commercial turf needs to meet.

Six metres is the minimum; eight to ten metres is materially better. Height is the most effective glare control available - at four metres, a fielder looking up to take a catch is looking almost straight into the fixture. If you're choosing between a taller pole and a bigger fixture, choose the taller pole.

So that every point of the playing area receives light from at least two directions. Two poles on one side produce hard shadows behind every player, a bright near half and a dark far half, and dazzle for anyone looking back toward the poles. A ball travelling at speed through a shadow is a safety problem, not a comfort one.

Output, and by more than the wattage suggests. The 200W gives 24,000 lumens; the 300W gives 43,200 - nearly double, not one and a half times. The 300W is the working fixture for any ground where a ball is in the air. Use the 200W on smaller grounds, lower poles and secondary areas.

An eight-fixture 300W setup draws 2,400W - 2.4 units an hour, about ₹19 at ₹8 per unit. Running five hours a night for 300 nights, that's roughly ₹28,800 a year. Against turf slot rates of ₹800 to ₹2,000 an hour, lighting is between 1% and 2.5% of slot revenue.

Substantially. The same coverage in metal halide draws around three times the power, needs lamp replacement every couple of years at height, and requires a warm-up delay every time it's switched on. LED runs 50,000-plus hours, starts instantly, and holds its output.

Cool white, 6500K. Cool light reads brighter at the same lumen output and improves contrast, which is exactly what a player needs to track a ball against turf, netting and night sky. Warm white reduces perceived brightness and flattens the contrast - it has no place on a playing surface.

Three things: mount high - at least 6 m, ideally 8 to 10 - angle fixtures downward so the beam lands on the surface rather than firing across it, and light from four corners so no player faces a single dominant light source. Height does more work here than any other single change.

Yes. Football turf uses the same four-corner 300W configuration as box cricket. Racquet sports need extra glare care because players look up frequently - mount along the sides rather than the ends, so nobody is serving or receiving directly into a light.

Yes, IP65 - fully dust-tight and protected against water jets from any direction, which covers monsoon on pole-mounted fixtures. More important on a ground is surge protection: tall metal poles in open ground are lightning-exposed, so fit a surge protection device at the distribution board.

Aim each fixture so its beam edge reaches roughly the centre of the next fixture's pool. On a four-pole layout each corner's beams cross the diagonal to meet the opposite corner's. The test: walk the ground at night and watch your shadow. One hard edge means a single-direction problem; soft and multiple means the layout is right.

They're part of our range and currently out of stock. A full-size ground genuinely needs them - 300W fixtures on a 20 m pole across a 100 m ground will not deliver playable light, and we'd rather tell you that than sell you the wrong quantity. Send the dimensions and pole positions and we'll advise on configuration and availability.

Yes, and for a ground you should ask before ordering. Send the dimensions, intended pole positions and pole height, what's played there, and your available supply. We'll return fixture count, wattage, aiming and expected coverage rather than you estimating.

Yes. Ground projects are typically eight to twenty fixtures, quoted at project pricing with GST invoicing - necessary for a commercial turf's accounts and depreciation. We're BIS certified and government empanelled, shipping PAN India from Delhi.
