Entry DescriptionThe SUFA-P Floodlight is an ultra-lightweight high-output LED luminaire designed for demanding floodlighting applications across large-scale facilities such as stadiums, ports, and terminal infrastructure.
Engineered with a modular architecture scalable from 600W to 1500W, the platform can be tuned precisely to match performance requirements across diverse installation environments. Its proprietary finless cooling system maintains high thermal stability while preserving a clean industrial housing and compact body. As the lightest luminaire of its performance class with a significantly reduced EPA, it enables retrofit installation on existing structures without reinforcement. This refined form improves longevity, simplifies maintenance, and reflects focus on structural excellence and engineering innovation. The 1.5kW configuration was recognized by the Illuminaton Engineering Society in the 2025 IES Progress Report as a significant contribution to the lighting industry.
Optically, SUFA-P features precision symmetric or asymmetric beams with integrated Inner Visor that delivers controlled light distribution, maximizing useful illumination while minimizing glare, spill, and light pollution into surrounding areas and sky. SUFA-P combines performance, environmental intent, and robust engineering in a ultra-compact form.
Sustainability ApproachThe SUFA-P Floodlight weighs 45 to 70% lighter than comparable high-output sports luminaires, lowering carbon footprint across the entire project cycle from manufacture-level materials to transportation emissions. A modular heat sink architecture replaces traditional cast-aluminum bodies, reducing material mass while maintaining thermal stability and prolonging LED lifespan to minimize replacement cycles and waste. Its 55% lower frontal EPA reduces wind load, allowing reuse of existing poles, eliminating additional steel reinforcement significantly cutting embodied carbon and installation impact in a circular retrofit. With asymmetric optics and integrated visor control, SUFA-P directs light only where needed, reducing spill, skyglow, and energy waste, supporting both carbon reduction goals and dark-sky ecological responsibility.
