Sports and sporting facilitiesare no different from homes or businesses: saving energy and using eco-friendly lights is just as important. The use of LED lights  is very common with vehicles like sport or racing cars, motorbikes or bicycles. For these applications LED lights are especially useful not only due to their low consumption of energy but their resistance to shock and vibration. This feature is especially usefu lin rally cars and mountain bikes. LED after-market car lights are available in a large variety, and by now the majority of car lights  have an LED replacementwith all types of sockets.

In the case of bicycles illumination of the road is just as important as visibility on it. Since LED srequire very little power, they are available in compact forms and with small batteries attached to them. LED lights can be used at any part of a bike, or even as a part of an outfit. Another typical LED lighting solution popular with bikers is the torch light, which is a brighter and much longer-working solution than any other type of torchlight.

Illuminating sporting facilities, like fitness rooms or even arenas with LED lighting is also becoming more and more common. In a regular or small fitness room simple household LED lighting can be used for illumination saving a lot on the energybills for the club. Larger spaces however, especially arenas require special lights. LED scoreboards are commonly in use in sports arenas, courts or stadiums.

As a matter of fact, applying LEDs is becoming a fashion and necessity as well with more and more sport stadiums going green. Sustainability and low consumption of energy are both main issues the maintainers have to deal with. But LEDs are not only used because of their low energy consumption, but also for the minimal maintenance they require. Green solutions are attractive to audience as well with the growing popularity of eco-friendly solutions. One of the latest green stadiums opened recently was the Green Point Stadium in Cape Town constructed for the World Cup in South Africa in 2010. The facility was installed fully with Osram lights, using the full range and spectrum of LED lighting like strips, reflectors, spotlights and panels. The entire stadium is built basically to show its LED lights off, as during the night walls become transparent from the internal lighting.
