The market continues to witness a shift towards LED lighting solutions due to their superior energy efficiency, longer lifespan, and better control over brightness and color. LED technology enables stadiums to reduce energy consumption, operational costs, and carbon footprint while providing enhanced lighting quality and flexibility. For instance, in April 2023, OSRAM and Musco Lighting together launched the OSCONIQ LEDs as part of a new field-of-play lighting system at the Armin-Wolf-Arena, a baseball stadium in Regensburg, Germany. The stadium’s new floodlighting uses the Total Light Control—TLC for LED system from Musco Lighting, fitted with OSCONIQ P 3737 LEDs from ams OSRAM, which provide the 5700K light source for the TLC for LED luminaires.
Integration of smart lighting systems equipped with sensors and controls allows for dynamic lighting effects, remote monitoring, and automated adjustments based on factors like occupancy, natural light levels, and event requirements. These systems enhance the spectator experience, improve operational efficiency, and contribute to cost savings. For instance, in May 2023, Signify and the Preferred Lighting Company of the National Hockey League, and the Florida Panthers upgraded FLA Live Arena with energy-efficient LED and connected lighting. The Panthers' sports lighting system integrates Ephesus LumaSport 8 tunable white and Prism RGBA luminaires from Cooper Lighting Solutions, offering Stevenson and his team dynamic control through the Interact IoT platform. With the LumaSport 8 luminaires, they can precisely adjust lighting to meet the NHL's stringent correlated color temperature (CCT) and light uniformity standards, ensuring the ice stands out vividly for players, spectators, and television broadcasts alike.
