LIGHTING THE WAY
of our customers, because they have such large venues it becomes technically difficult to achieve the desired func- tionality with lower power, yet it remains a point of inter- est with many people.” As for Lycian’s Lerman, he reported: “As we cope with
rising costs, lighting efficiently can act to offset increas- ing electric rates. Lighting is a major expense for any venue that is in use for sports and entertainment events. Many fixtures have become available that utilise LEDs, and while they require a larger ‘up-front’ cost, their long life and lower operating costs will in time pay back the initial investment.” BEKA’s Schleritzko noted: “Sports venues have always been the centre point of leisure for the public. Today, such venues have to offer more than just a location for a sports or entertainment event; it also has to be a centre of excitement! This has changed the architecture of sta- dia from a pure functional design, to an appealing, styl- ishly-designed venue, with a key focus on new, high definition exterior and interior lighting. Samples of this have become evident in the latest stadia design as real- ised for the recent FIFA World Cup™ 2010, hosted by a number of South African stadiums.”

New Products & Technology At Payne-Sparkman Manufacturing, Payne advised: “Now in our fifth decade, Payne-Sparkman has introduced sev- eral lighting products that are at the leading edge of
multipurpose building trends. LiteApp — an inexpensive tablet/smart phone control user-interface — utilises a cus- tom LiteTalk network application and operates on one or more of the facility’s existing networks. Our addressable LED dimming and day-lighting system allows LEDs to be dimmed — full range — and then ‘trimmed’ or pro- grammed so the user constantly sees uniform light levels from similar LED sources. The system operates with pro- grammable daylight sensors, but light levels can also be adjusted, facility wide, across the lighting network. Our non-battery, emergency ballasts maintain the arc of 1,000- watt and 1,500-watt high intensity discharge sports flood- lights in zero volt conditions. This alleviates the need for separate emergency fixtures, lamps, batteries, battery maintenance, and battery disposal.
“We also fabricate an ultra-light, retro-fit LiteShade
that is a clip-on and plug-in installation. It is custom-made to operate over existing power circuits to control and/or instantly black out any high wattage indoor or outdoor sports flood. This alleviates the need for costly new fix- tures and new wiring, while gaining the flexibility of addressable fixtures with individual lamp monitoring and diagnostics. We installed a retrofit with our LiteShades and LiteTalk network at the MTS Centre, home again this sea- son for the NHL Winnipeg (Manitoba) Jets that originally left the venue in 1996. At Kimmel Arena, UNC-Asheville (NC), we also did the complete lighting system with day lighting LiteShades and RideThru Green.”
