FEA TURE — SPOR T S LIGHTING THE WAY
As for Thorn Lighting, it has two key sports lighting lines, as Macrae advised: “Our Mundial is available in two versions, ‘R’ and ‘C’, both are high power and high per- formance floodlights for all sport applications and large area illumination. Features include: a circular reflector with symmetric distribution for long-throw applications; they are available in intensive and also optional 2x8°, 2x10° and 2x12° distributions; spun circular reflectors with baffle, and three-position lampholders for variable distribution; baffle for asymmetrical lighting distribution with low glare, minimal spill and upward light, prevent- ing obtrusive light; and a Hot Restrike version, where prolonged lack of lighting is not permitted. Recent Mun- dial installs include AAMI Park Stadium in Melbourne, Australia, and Türk Telekom Arena in Istanbul, Turkey. “Our Champion [product] is a high performance dis-
charge floodlight with innovative optic for controlling obtrusive light, ideal for sports. An asymmetric floodlight for a 1/2 kW metal halide lamp, it incorporates an inno- vative design concept — the front glass is inclined inside the floodlight, providing a 'virtual' light emitting surface and setting new standards for 'on-pitch' performance. One recent installation was in Mount St Mary's College, an official London 2012 Pre-Olympic Games Training Camp Facility.”
Performance & Portfolio For Philips, Fossey reported: “Philips has had many years of experience in lighting up venues that hosted major sports events. These include the F1 Grand Prix Track in Singapore; some 28 of the 33 Athens 2004 Olympic ven- ues; six out of the nine 1998 FIFA World Cup™ venues in

France; seven out of the ten 2002 FIFA World Cup™ ven- ues in Korea and Japan; all venues for the 2005 Mediter- ranean Games; eight out of the twelve 2006 FIFA World Cup™ venues in Germany; and six of the nine 2010 FIFA World Cup™ venues in South Africa. As for venues in the Middle East, Philips was responsible for events including four of the five venues for the FIFA Youth World Cup 2003 in UAE; twelve of the fourteen venues for the Qatar Asian Games; the FINA World Swimming Championship 2010 in the UAE; the Yemen Gulf Nations Cup 2010; and the FIFA Club World Cup 2010 in the UAE.
Philips Wide-Lite’s Ruedaflores added: “Hundreds of
arena and stadium installations around the world have enabled Philips to perfect ArenaVision MVF403 as an unequalled luminaire for sports lighting design, now available in North America. The construction principle consists of one IP65 rated die—cast aluminium housing able to accommodate multiple optics, versus a formed or stamped reflector with varied lamp positions to create distributions of varied control. Along with the seven pre- cision beam distributions that provide sharp cut—off characteristics and control, the product can be mixed and matched in 1kW and 2kW configurations to provide a customised light solution for any sports venue. The patented Monobloc reflector designs provide extremely precise beam distributions, with no tilt factor affecting the horizontal lamp’s performance characteristics. Among the first North American installations is Bobcat Stadium at Texas State University in San Marcos.” Ruedaflores added: “More major league and colle-
giate arenas are going to pre-game blackouts; as smoke rises, music is thumping loud, and a laser light show ensues as the home team players are announced. Then just as quickly, the darkness is broken by the light in a flash by the Philips Arena Eclipse indoor floodlight. Optics specifically designed to meet the strictest require- ments of the NBA, NHL, and NCAA, equate to the control
