LED lighting for sports facilities, swimming pools and event venues

From festive events to junior sports training to the national handball league with TV broadcasts – sports halls as well as multi-purpose halls are frequently used by different players. Ball impact safety, high uniformity of illumination and flexibility in lighting control are thus recurring requirements for the illumination of sports and event venues. Indoor swimming pool lighting is also exposed to chlorinated conditions.

Robust and flexible

A high degree of uniformity, a pleasant colour temperature and – if the goal is missed – ball impact safety are the basic requirements for lighting in sports halls. In indoor ice rinks, in addition to the conditions of normal sports halls, the low temperature is another special aspect. In multi-purpose halls, the focus is not only on sports; festive events or concerts also need the right illumination. This is where central lighting control is particularly beneficial.

Flicker-free for fast-paced sports and HD broadcasting

In high-speed sports, such as ice hockey or table tennis, flicker-free lighting plays a crucial role in ensuring good visibility. In television broadcasts, it is also important to ensure that the illumination is suitable for this purpose and that flickering does not impair the image.

For HD television broadcasts, the lighting must be of high quality.

Lighting needs to be of high quality not only for players in the professional sector, but also for HD television broadcasts: A sufficient illumination level and no flickering are indispensable.

Different lighting situations are needed for different uses. These can be conveniently controlled with a central control panel.

Lighting control: convenience for complex usage concepts

Lighting control is a good choice for extensive usage concepts. This makes operation easier, especially in the case of a multi-purpose hall. Different lighting scenarios can be controlled centrally from one control panel. Additionally, other elements of the building control system, such as the sunshade, can be integrated to achieve optimal interaction of lighting and daylight, in turn maximising energy savings.

Swimming pool option

A special challenge: indoor swimming pools

The chlorinated atmosphere in indoor swimming pools attacks metals, causing screws and fixings to rust. It is therefore important to ensure that luminaires are chlorine-resistant. NORKA offers the option of the “swimming pool version” for this purpose. This means that we modify the luminaires to easily withstand the conditions in indoor swimming pools.
