Tegas Electric light it up for a basketball court

“We chose to work with LEDiL because of the very competent technical support from their representatives and because LEDiL optics give better results.”

PROJECT

Lighting a basketball court isn’t as straightforward as it might sound. Basketball itself is often considered an art, but achieving even illumination over a basketball court is more about science. When Tegas Electric were asked to provide the lighting for the Belorechensk sports school in Krasnodar, Russia they applied the science of light to the project.

SOLUTION

Tegas Electric chose to use a total of 12 of their Tegas 400 W lamps fitted with a variety of LEDiL optics. They located 3 lamps each in the end zones fitted with STRADELLA-8-HB-S optics and sited 2 m from the switchboard, each with a 10-degree tilt. A further 6 lamps with a 50/50 combination of STRADELLA-8-HB-M and STRADELLA-8-HB-S optics were installed to illuminate the centre of the court.

BENEFITS

In addition to a perfectly illuminated basketball court the school authorities gained a solution that is 45 % cheaper than any competitor offering and energy savings of 1.6 Kw/h.
