Feature lighting for cinema
COLLINGWOOD Lighting has supplied a series of its low-energy LEDs in the entrance foyer and food areas at the Odeon cinema in Dorchester to create a bold visual experience for cinemagoers. Working with G&H Building Services,
the project needed to add individuality through use of colour. Collingwood Lighting’s RGB Strips were installed to ceiling and wall panels. Operated using a DMXC controller, the RGB strips produce a dynamic colour changing effect. In other areas, Collingwood Lighting’s Easy Strip LEDs were supplied in a cool white to light the imposing 3D Odeon cinema sign. A number of opaque and blue acrylic slots were also backlit using these LEDs to create a decorative wall partitioning within the lounge area.

Flexible lighting for Emirates Arena in Glasgow
THE Emirates Arena in Glasgow, comprising the National Indoor Sports Arena and Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome, will host many of the key events in the 2014 Commonwealth Games. The quality of floodlighting at both
venues is therefore critical. Working with consulting engineers Arup and contractors Forth Electrical Services, Philips supplied its ArenaVision floodlights for accurate and efficient light distribution. As well as meeting all sports lighting criteria, it was important that the system could be controlled in an energy-efficient way The arena has the capacity to hold up to 7,000 spectators and features a 200m, six lane running track which can be hydraulically operated to allow for other events, such as the badminton that will be hosted during the Commonwealth Games. In addition, the venue regularly hosts tennis, table tennis, judo, boxing and many other sports – all of which have different lighting requirements. To address these requirements, 188
ArenaVision floodlights have been installed, which can be individually switched to achieve different light levels. Light levels are influenced by a range of criteria, such as the status of the event (e.g. competition, training) and whether it is being televised. Different zones within the arena can also be lit to different illuminance levels.

Control is through a central, PC-based Philips Dynalite lighting management system operated by arena staff. They are able to select from 40 different pre-defined switching levels. To ensure even lamp burning hours and facilitate group lamp replacement the system automatically cycles which fittings are used when non- televised light levels are required. A particular challenge of lighting the
velodrome was ensuring consistent light levels on all parts of the curved track. To achieve this, Philips carried out extensive modelling when finding the right solution and also undertook the aiming and commissioning of the 272 ArenaVision floodlights installed to ensure the end result was as expected. The visual comfort of people using
offices and other spaces in the connecting building between the arena and the velodrome has also been taken into consideration with the use of Philips Lighting Control Modules linked to standalone ToBe Touched controllers in the spaces. Using Philips’ dynamic ‘light wheel’, the ToBe Touched units allow users to adjust their lighting in relation to a range of parameters including brightness, colour, colour temperature and saturation.
