Comments off · Posted by admin in LED, LED Floodlights
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.

Third Premier League club goes LED – how long before the other 17 follow?
Comments off · Posted by admin in LED, LED Floodlights, Philips LED
LUX reports: Premier League football club Hull City is planning to upgrade its pitch lighting to LED floodlights this summer. The move is aimed at meeting the needs of modern high-definition TV broadcasting as well as opening up the KC Stadium to a wider range of events.
It has opted for Philips’ ArenaVision LED floodlighting system, which has been specially developed to meet the TV broadcast requirements specified by the Premier League. It can also provide the entertaining lighting effects needed to build atmosphere and excitement before and after matches.
The lighting will be installed at the KC Stadium during this summer’s break in time for the start of the next season.
LEDs are increasingly taking over from metal halide as the floodlighting source of choice. LED technology allows sports stadiums to use lighting in a more creative way, making them attractive venues for events such as concerts. Control systems allow individual floodlights to be switched on or off or dimmed. Systems such as Philips’ ArenaVision makes it possible to create pre-set light scenes for specific applications, such as dimmed energy-saving levels for cleaning and maintenance.
John North, managing director of the Stadium Management Company, said: ‘The new state-of-the-art, energy-efficient LED pitch lighting system for the KC Stadium delivers the ability to instantly change from one light setting from another. This is not just a game changer for spectators but also for the future of the modern multi-purpose stadium, a key feature of the operational strategy for our sporting venues.’
Hull will also benefit from the maintenance savings accruing from the long life of LEDs. Typically, metal halide floodlighting lamps should be replaced every three seasons to maintain the lighting levels required. The Philips LED system is expected to last more than 10 seasons.
Andy Gowen, director of public lighting at Philips Lighting UK, commented: ‘The main priority for professional sports venues has always been to ensure the correct light levels on the pitch, but with the arrival of the digital age, there is a great deal more on offer.
‘Our ArenaVision LED floodlighting bridges the worlds of entertainment lighting and static, high quality pitch lighting to deliver a memorable experience for visitors, whether they are coming to watch Hull in action or to hear their favourite bands perform.’
