One example of a sports venue that has successfully implemented LED lighting is the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. The stadium features a state-of-the-art LED lighting system that can be controlled to create stunning lighting displays for pre-game and halftime shows. The lighting system can also be used to enhance the in-game experience, with different lighting colors used to represent the home team and visiting team.

“When we position lights in a stadium, we’re ensuring every player has different shadows,” said Casper. “When they’re on camera, it’s as if they’re in a studio. Viewers can see through athletes’ facemasks and distinguish their facial expressions, which makes fans feel closer to the game. That’s an art. But we’ve also built accelerometers and global positioning systems into our lights to ensure that every last one is positioned exactly as it should be. And that’s a science.”

LED lighting has revolutionized the way sports venues are lit, providing significant advantages over traditional lighting technologies. With its energy-efficiency, durability, and the ability to control color and intensity, LED lighting has enhanced the spectator experience in several ways. Sports venues that have embraced LED lighting have seen improvements in fan engagement, safety, and energy efficiency, making it a win-win for all stakeholders. As LED technology continues to evolve, we can expect to see even more exciting lighting displays and innovations in sports venues in the years to come.

Focused application of light improves efficiency and lowers light immission. Thanks to its clever design, the Floodlight FL requires only minimal tilting and thereby minimizes the unnecessary scattering of light while maximizing light output. And with our Sirius® high-performance floodlight with integrated full cut-off aperture, light immission is less than % in a vertical position – even reaching % in a horizontal position.

Modern multi-purpose halls and multi-functional arenas are stages where people work day and night. This requires the best lighting for the show, actors, spectators and broadcasters. Always controllable and in one system. The new Sirius® LED high performance floodlight provides this flexibility: single controllable light modules for DMX show lighting and La Ola effect, full integration into the building management system and suitability for the upcoming K picture standard. Convincing arguments for operation of the Olympiahalle Munich.
