Philips lights up the night
Philips' ArenaVision sports floodlighting system, which already equips more than half of the world's major football stadiums, has now been installed at Soccer City, Ellis Park, Royal Bafokeng, Moses Mabhida, Peter Mokaba and Nelson Mandela stadiums, to ensure these stadiums rank with the most advanced and best-lit sporting stadiums internationally.
Jeroen Jansen, Philips Lighting's GM for Southern Africa says, "It is vital that lighting systems are provided not only accommodate the stringent demands of the TV broadcasting industry, but also to give live spectators the best possible viewing experience. It is for this reason that the company was chosen to light most of the country's top stadiums and it has achieved this well ahead of schedule.
"With this system, the key disciplines of lamp, optic and gear design were brought together with a single mission: to create the best possible floodlight that will operate effectively for many years. The new mono block optics has been designed to provide around 10% more light. As a result, even fewer luminaires are required for the application coverage, allowing substantial savings on capital, energy and maintenance," he concludes.
