Zumtobel will design and develop the lighting across the 61,000-seater ground in White Hart Lane, north London

Lux repots: ZUMTOBEL has won the prestigious contract to supply lighting for Tottenham Hotspur’s new £800 million stadium.

The company will supply the lighting to a design by independent consultants Buro Happold across the 61,000-seater ground including player facilities, seating bowl, circulation concourse and the extensive façade.

The multi-million pound contract is a major coup for the group and part of a wider trend of design-and-supply arrangements with single manufacturers for major infrastructural projects.

Scheduled to open in 2018, the venue will also play host to NFL American Football games, music concerts and a range of other events.

Zumtobel will also supply sister brands, including acdc, Reiss, Thorn and Tridonic.

Tottenham Hotspur’s director of operations Matthew Collecott told Lux: ‘Zumtobel has extensive expertise when it comes to illuminating stadiums and realising large and complex projects. We’ve every confidence in their ability to deliver a world-class lighting system as part of one of the most atmospheric and technologically advanced stadiums in the world.’

Thorn, a brand of the Zumtobel Group, was responsible for lighting the Wembley Studium in London, the Geoffroy Guichard Stadium in Saint Étienne, the ‘Stadium of Light’ in Lyon and the Alliance Riviera Stadium in Nice for the 2016 European Football Championships in France.

The stadium has been designed by architects Populous working in conjunction with Allies & Morrison and Donald Insall Associates and is being built by main contractor Mace.

Two new LED bollards from Kingfisher Lighting finally make visual comfort and performance a reality.

Deco LED and Helvellyn LED are the latest addition to the LED range from Kingfisher Lighting, the exterior lighting specialists. Both bollards utilise the same Kingfisher-designed optical unit which provides both light performance and visual comfort.

The low-glare optical unit has the LED light source in the bollard head, aiming down a matt coated cone. This provides a highly efficient light source at 116lm/W and also ensures that the light output is comfortable for pedestrians and drivers alike. The luminaire lumens come in at a healthy 1,324 lm with 20W power in 4,000K.

Thorn launches a new scalable Radio Frequency Outdoor Lighting Controls solution.

In a bid to make outdoor lighting controls easier to understand and implement Thorn has released a simple portfolio for managing groups of luminaires or total city applications.

The new radio frequency (RF) based outdoor lighting controls system is designed to provide energy savings and remote data management for energy conscious cities and communities, offering complete application and cost flexibility with sensor-based and non-sensor based RF nodes.

One of the most innovative features includes the “moving light” functionality which programs the light to switch on and then trail cars, bicycles and pedestrians, guaranteeing that light is only activated when needed, reducing waste light and decreasing energy consumption.

To make life simpler and to be future ready RF OLC works on an open protocol to enable operation with other smart city functions and it has been designed with future proofed RF technology; ready for whatever lies ahead.

On the occasion of Philips sixth consecutive Cape Town to Cairo roadshow, Philips today unveiled the newly illuminated Cairo Opera House.
– Philips 21st century connected LED lighting technology revitalises Cairo’s Opera House – bringing new life to this iconic building, whilst also reigniting cultural pride and saving energy.
– Over the past five years the Philips Cape Town to Cairo roadshow has spread light across Africa improving and beautifying cities, and illuminating iconic landmarks

Philips has provided the Cairo Opera House with a stunning makeover that has radically boosted the beautification of this iconic building. By using its latest LED lighting technology, which has a lifespan of up to 50,000 hours(1), Philips will enable the Opera House to reduce its energy consumption by up to 80% compared with conventional lighting currently used in the Opera House.

Reigniting cultural pride

The Cairo Opera House is a cultural landmark renowned for leadership, excellence and imagination. It has carved itself a significant position in the cultural landscape of Egypt and the Middle East. With its appealing mix of high-quality traditional events, and its unique venues as well as its state of the art facilities, the Cairo Opera House is exceptionally suited to fulfill its mission to become a representation of art in Egypt and across the world.

Tamer Abol Ghar, Country Manager Egypt & General Manager Africa, Lighting Professional End User Sales, commented : “It is with great pride that we can today unveil the stunning LED makeover of the Cairo Opera House. The lighting not only magnifies the beauty of the renowned building, but it will also enable a significant reduction of energy consumption at the Opera House. As the global leader in LED lighting, we have made massive strides in recent years with regards LEDs, and it’s really quite remarkable to witness the effect the lighting of a building or a landmark can have on an entire city or region. We have no doubt that the people of Cairo will enjoy the Opera House for many more years to come, and hopefully as a result of the dynamic new lighting it will be seen in a completely new light not only by locals, but by the world.”

Philips’ new lighting concept focused on highlighting the importance of the building as a source of cultural pride. Located in the southern part of Gezira Island, this iconic building now houses new Philips dynamic lighting, which ensures it is visible from anywhere up to half a kilometre away on the River Nile. The new Philips lighting design has guaranteed that the viewing points of the Opera House are the main feature, with light and shadow applied in such a way that the building’s structures are also emphasized.

The initial challenge for Philips’ design team was to give the iconic Opera House a more innovative look while maintaining the authentic and historic atmosphere of the Opera House. The Philips team applied its innovative Vaya LED lights which create an endless spectrum of colors to highlight the features of this architectural masterpiece, and allowed Philips to introduce a vibrant ambience that changes depending on the performance happening inside the Opera House.

The usage of intelligent RGB (Red, Green & Blue) flood lights on the façade of the Cairo Opera House turns the hall into a landmark that is highly attractive, adding visual comfort as well as an expressive environment at night. The domes of the building have been illuminated using intelligent RGB floodlights with wide beam angle to highlight the octagonal base shape

The entire project at the Cairo Opera House took Philips four months to complete – this included the design, implementation and installation of 160 Philips latest Color Kinetics Vaya LED RGB (Red, Green & Blue) Lighting luminaires.

Ninth and final stop of the Cape Town to Cairo roadshow

Cairo marks the grand conclusion of Philips’ annual pan-African Cape Town to Cairo roadshow that kicked off on 11th May 2015, in Cape Town.  Cairo is the ninth stop on the roadshow’s journey which covered 12,000 km across 11 cities and 8 countries over a period of 4.5 months. Cape Town to Cairo has gained significant momentum over the past five years, allowing Philips to get to the heart of some of the key issues facing Africa – including Mother and Child Care, the rise of non-communicable diseases, energy efficient LED and solar lighting solutions, as well as shining a spotlight on the need for clinical education and training.

The 2015 roadshow continued to drive the conversation around sustainable energy solutions. As part of Philips dedication to improving healthcare in Africa many substantial innovations and partnerships were announced and Philips illuminated a number of iconic buildings, which will leave behind a permanent legacy, while also reducing energy consumption.
