SPORTS LIGHTING SOLUTIONS
SPORTS APPLICATION GUIDE Sports affect us emotionally, captivate us and significantly contribute to our passion and excitement. The following guide provides an overview of key aspects to consider when planning and designing a lighting installation for brilliant plays in sports venues. At professional and recreational sports facilities, just as in other areas of life, light affects everything – people, places, as well as the environment. Modern lighting technologies take all of these factors into consideration, enabling people to see all the action clearly. Sports lighting not only provides visibility and clarity, it also enhances the entertainment factor, stimulates enthusiasm and emotions for players, officials and, of course, the fans – for those present at the venue, as well as those watching on TV at home. Light is an integral part of today’s sports venues. From the field of play to dynamic facades and dramatic light shows – good colour rendition, flicker free installations and proper uniformity are key enablers for sporting events. The sheer power of sports lighting is an environmental factor that must be considered carefully. Zumtobel Group solutions minimise light pollution to nearby neighbours and wildlife with cutting-edge optics while also saving energy with smart controls.
LIGHT JUST RIGHT FOR TV Broadcasting specifications are a key lighting consideration for stadiums that host televised events. Developments such as HD and 4K TV, improved colour rendering ratings (TLCI – Television Lighting Consistency Index) and super-slow-motion replays have raised the bar for quality. However, maintaining high light levels with no visible flicker poses key challenges. Modern LED stadium lighting technologies greatly minimise flicker levels and other concerns of TV camera operators. ACCURATE DESIGN When designing lighting installations, every sports facility is different. From large arenas to small practice fields, indoor halls to outdoor complexes, every sports venue generally requires an individual lighting solution. PRECISE CONTROL With LED technology, lighting installations are up and operating at full power capacity in less than 20 milliseconds or 1/50th of a second. Lighting challenges such as power outages are a thing of the past with LEDs. Controlling the light, however, plays an increasingly important role. For training sessions, professional games or large-scale events, light levels and uniformity must be configured precisely for various scenes and scenarios. LED LIGHTING Thanks to their long life, low energy consumption, flexibility and falling prices, LEDs are gradually replacing most lighting applications. LED light quality has seen massive improvements in recent years. At small-scale venues such as tennis courts, sports halls, small municipal projects, they have already become the norm. Large stadiums are also beginning to switch to LED technology. CREATIVE EFFECTS Advanced lighting technologies available today have opened up entirely new possibilities for venues. Thanks to LEDs and sophisticated control systems such as the DMX solutions, spectacular lighting effects are easy to create. Typically used for theatre lighting, DMX technology allows you to control each point of light individually and even change colours when used with colour effect fittings. REDUCING LIGHT POLLUTION When illuminating sports venues, it is important to ensure light is directed only where it is needed, thereby minimising light pollution and glare for nearby buildings and surrounding areas. Advanced optical controls ensure light is precisely directed to the intended location. EASTERN CREEK SPEEDWAY / AU LIGHTING SOLUTION: THORN ATLIS
4 REMOTE BLUETOOTH APP The 4Remote Bluetooth app is free to download via Apple iOS and Google Play app store. URBASENS PLAY RETROFIT BOX If your lighting is working for you already and has a DALI driver, then you can install this box and immediately connect your light points to UrbaSens Play and benefit from all of the advanced controls to save additional energy. URBASENS PLAY CONTROL BOX 4 Push buttons assignment is freely set during commissioning to recall multiple lighting scenes of UrbaSens Play & Move product set. Multiple scenes can be recalled by each push-button. ZHAGA D4I/DALI-2 RF-CONTROLLER Zhaga book-18 ed.3 IP66 2.4GHz basicDIM Wireless mesh controller for UrbaSens Play. MOBILE APP BASED CONTROL A simple platform for general day to day control. The app enables simple switching of luminaire zones as well as easy schedule and output amendment. This also doubles as an installation and commissioning app for our team to support the smooth set up of the UrbaSens Play system. LUMINAIRE GROUPING At any point in time, you are able to control any individual light point, however, it may be more useful to group the luminaires. So if you have seven tennis courts and three football pitches, there may be a range of different ways to group light points to ensure that your lighting levels are optimised. BESPOKE SPORTS LIGHTING CONTROL Not only can you select different light levels for different spaces in and around the facility, you can also adjust the lighting so it’s optimised for the sport being played. For example, if gymnastics is taking up half of the hall, then only that section of the hall needs to be fully illuminated. MULTI-CHANNEL At any point in time you can see the full view of luminaires across the UrbaSens Play system. This also means you can adjust multiple luminaires to reflect the requirements of the space. So if you suddenly needed additional illumination at the skate park, you can immediately bring all luminaires online to ensure the lighting needs are met. THORN URBASENS PLAY CONTROLS & LUMINAIRES

NORBUILT OVAL – FREDS PASS RESERVE As part of the major redevelopment of Freds Pass Reserve south of Darwin, the Northern Territory Government has invested in a state-of-the-art lighting upgrade at Norbuilt Oval, creating new opportunities for night games and training sessions for both junior and senior players. The upgrade allows athletes to avoid the harsh daytime heat while extending access to quality sporting facilities for the local community. Norbuilt Oval is home to the Southern Districts Football Club, supporting more than 600 players, with 80% of members under the age of 18. Following an outstanding 2024/25 NTFL season that delivered four premierships, including the Men’s Premier League title, the new lighting infrastructure will help support the club’s continued growth and success across all age groups. Delivered in collaboration with Litchfield Council, the project has been carefully integrated into the broader vision for Freds Pass Reserve. THORN TROPHY floodlights were selected for their superior performance, flexibility, and reduced long-term cost of ownership. SOLUTIONS INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING Our experienced on-site partners can provide safe and reliable installation support regarding windage and floodlight weight, mounting assemblies and gantry access. We provide support at every step throughout the commissioning process – whether for measurements with calibrated light meters and high level work or for considerations concerning access, floodlight aiming, angular or precision sights, pitch lighting, grid points setups, horizontal and vertical planes. CALCULATIONS AND MEASUREMENTS Lots of math goes into designing a stadium lighting installation. To achieve desired results in accordance with norms, precise calculations and measurements are made for vertical, horizontal and camera illuminance, for grid points and glare ratings, flicker and limiting angles. CONTROLS Modern lighting control technologies are designed to ensure long-term installation performance and flexibility. For training sessions, professional games or large-scale events, light levels and uniformity must be configured precisely for various scenes and scenarios.
