Football Field Lighting Design Solution: LED Stadium Project Case in Zimbabwe
- Project Background
LED football field lighting project in Zimbabwe – night view
High mast LED flood lighting system for stadium
This project is located in Harare, Zimbabwe, and is used for football and hockey activities. With increasing demand for night training and matches, the client planned to upgrade the existing lighting system to achieve higher brightness and better uniformity.
In stadium lighting projects, what clients care about most is not just the lighting fixtures themselves, but whether the final lighting performance can meet expectations.
2.Project Overview
- Location: Harare, Zimbabwe
- Application: Football field / stadium lighting
- Product Used: MFL-G960 LED flood light
- Power Configuration: 960W high-power lighting
- Installation: High mast lighting system
3.Challenges Faced by the Client
During the initial communication, the client raised several concerns:
- Large area requires wide lighting coverage
- Uneven lighting may affect match experience
- Traditional lighting consumes more energy and requires frequent maintenance
- Most importantly: uncertainty about the final lighting performance after switching to LED
Therefore, ensuring reliable lighting performance was the key priority in this project.
- Key Factors in Football Field Lighting Design

When designing a stadium lighting system, several important factors must be considered:
- Field size and lighting coverage
- Pole height and installation layout
- Illumination level and uniformity requirements
- Fixture power and beam angle selection
- Environmental conditions and protection level
A well-designed lighting solution ensures both performance and long-term efficiency.
- Lighting Solution & Product Selection
MFL-G series LED flood light power range (120W–1440W)
For this project, we provided a complete LED stadium lighting solution and recommended the MIC LED MFL-G series flood lights.
This series covers a wide range of power options from 120W to 1440W, including:
MFL-G120, MFL-G240, MFL-G360, MFL-G480, MFL-G720, MFL-G960, MFL-G1200, MFL-G1440
In general:
- 120W–480W: suitable for small areas or auxiliary lighting
- 720W and above: suitable for stadiums and large-scale lighting
Based on the project requirements, MFL-G960 high-power LED flood lights were selected as the main lighting fixtures.

This model provides high luminous output and stable performance, ensuring sufficient brightness and uniform lighting distribution for the stadium.
6.Lighting Simulation Before Installation
One of the biggest concerns in stadium lighting projects is:
Will the actual lighting effect meet expectations after installation?
To address this, we provided professional lighting simulation (Dialux) before order confirmation.
By analyzing:
- Field dimensions
- Pole height
- Fixture layout
- Illumination and uniformity requirements
We created a complete lighting simulation plan and visualized the final lighting results for the client.
Only after confirming the simulation met expectations did the client proceed with the order.
This “simulation-before-purchase” approach helps minimize risks and ensures confidence in the final outcome.
7.Product Features & Advantages

8.Project Result
After installation, the lighting performance was significantly improved:
- Sufficient brightness across the entire field
- Uniform light distribution without dark areas
- Meets requirements for training and matches
- Improved visual comfort with reduced glare
The actual lighting result closely matched the simulation, proving the reliability of the solution.
- Conclusion
Through this stadium lighting project in Zimbabwe, we not only supplied high-performance LED lighting products, but also supported the client with professional lighting design and simulation to ensure a reliable final result.
