Project Overview
This is a full‑scale lighting renovation project for a multi‑purpose arena hosting professional sports tournaments, large‑scale concerts, entertainment performances and public events. The legacy metal‑halide lighting system suffered high energy consumption, insufficient color rendering, lack of dynamic color effects, slow dimming response and high maintenance cost. It could hardly satisfy both HD broadcast requirements for sports matches and atmospheric lighting for live shows.
The arena owner expected one unified luminaire solution to cover professional sports competition and performing‑arts RGBW dynamic lighting. A complete intelligent control system was required for one‑click switching among illumination, color‑temperature and color scenes, cutting power and maintenance expenditure. All devices needed to withstand high‑temperature, heavy‑rainfall and frequent thunderstorm operating conditions typical of many coastal regions. ROKEE delivered the full‑turnkey solution with the G23‑series 1800W high‑mast LED sports lights, including lighting layout design, fixture supply, intelligent control deployment, site commissioning and final hand‑over.
Key Project Challenges
1. Dual‑standard lighting demand: Professional sports requires high uniformity, low glare and high CRI for 4K/8K broadcast; concerts call for full‑color RGBW dynamic effects. Conventional solutions need two separate sets of lights, leading to extra investment and complicated installation.
2. Reuse existing mounting structures: Original poles and catwalks were retained. Luminaires weight, mounting interface and input voltage must fit existing local infrastructure (wide voltage AC120‑277V power grid compatible).
3. Harsh outdoor environment: High temperature, high humidity and frequent lightning strikes demand superior surge protection, impact resistance and outdoor anti‑corrosion performance.
4. Easy‑to‑operate smart management: Operators need preset scenes and centralized remote control to simplify daily arena operation.
Solution: ROKEE G23‑Series RGBW High‑CRI LED Sports Lighting System
Model: RK‑FL‑07‑G23 1800W high‑power high‑mast LED sports light
– For the lighting upgrade project of this multi‑purpose sports arena, we leveraged professional engineering optics technology as the core and successfully deployed 132 sets of high‑CRI white‑light luminaires and 30 sets of RGBW intelligent luminaires. The G23 series delivers high luminous efficacy of 150‑160lm/W, equipped with premium Inventronics driver and high‑brightness SMD LED chips.
– RGBW 4‑in‑one light source: White channel delivers professional sports lighting with high CRI for live broadcast; RGB channel supports millions of colors for light shows and stage atmosphere lighting.
– Multiple optional lens angles (10° /15° /30° /60°). Custom optical distribution minimizes glare and eliminates dark zones on the playground.
– Robust mechanical performance: Die‑cast aluminum housing, electrophoresis & outdoor powder‑coated bracket; IK10 impact resistance, built‑in 10KV/20KV SPD surge protection, IP66 outdoor rating, 5‑year full warranty.
– Wide input voltage AC120‑277V(AC200-480V optional), adaptable for most global venue power supply networks.
Intelligent Control Architecture
DMX512 & DALI dual‑protocol intelligent control system was implemented:
1. Multiple pre‑saved scene presets: Sports competition mode, training mode, RGBW concert show mode, event warm‑light mode, night inspection mode. One‑touch scene recall.
2. Smooth 0‑100% dimming without warm‑up delay compared with old metal‑halide lamps.
3. Local control panel plus remote backend management; group & zone control available for independent brightness and color adjustment. Supports integration with arena central building management platform.
4. Built‑in timing schedule for auto on/off to save unnecessary energy waste.
Project Implementation
1. On‑site survey & lighting simulation: Analyze existing catwalks, poles and cabling. Optical simulation optimizes fixture quantity, power and lens selection. Maximize reuse of original mounting base to avoid heavy civil work.
2. Customized luminaire & control system production, full aging test before shipment.
3. On‑site installation and cabling, keep original steel structures unchanged.
4. In‑situ commissioning: Measure on‑site illuminance, glare and color rendering index. Calibrate all preset scenes. Provide operation training for arena staff and deliver complete project documents.
Project Benefits
✅ One luminaire for two core scenarios: G23 RGBW fixtures meet FIFA‑level sports broadcast and dynamic concert lighting simultaneously, saving investment for dual lighting systems.
✅ Outstanding energy‑saving & OPEX reduction: Sharp power consumption drop versus legacy metal‑halide system. Long LED lifespan greatly reduces replacement and maintenance cost.
✅ Improved light quality: Uniform field illumination, well‑controlled glare, high CRI. Better visual comfort for athletes and true‑to‑life color for camera broadcast.
✅ Reliable performance under harsh climate: High surge protection and IP rating guarantee stable operation in hot, humid and thunder‑prone operating conditions.
✅ Smart & efficient arena operation: One‑click scene switching and remote group control lower operation threshold. Expand venue commercial potential for more sports & entertainment events.
