Sports Facility - Filamento

Applications

Sports Facility
In the realm of athletic gyms, lighting plays a pivotal role. A well-lit sports hall not only enhances athletes' performance and competitive edge but also ensures that gameplay isn't disrupted by excessive glare. The demand for a versatile lighting system, easily adaptable to various activities such as game nights, practice sessions, and school dances, is evident. This flexibility is particularly crucial given the multifunctional nature of many sports halls, where the ability to adjust lighting settings according to different functions is essential for optimizing the space's usability and ambiance.

Minimizing Glare for Visual Comfort: Enhancing Player Performance

Players often struggle with missed shots due to glaring lights obstructing their vision. Traditional high bay lights with exposed LEDs contribute to this issue by producing excessive glare. However, Filamento’s innovative technology and unique design effectively minimize glare, greatly reducing the discomfort experienced by players. This significant improvement is readily apparent in comparative images, demonstrating how glare is notably reduced when switching from HID lighting to Filamento lamps.

Easy Lighting Control allows for Versatile Functionality

In modern lighting installations, wireless controls have become a critical component, especially in gymnasiums and sports halls where adjusting individual light levels is essential. The lighting system must allow for easy scene changes to accommodate various activities. For instance:

  • From practice to game night
    • Practice will have all the lights on at 100%
    • Game night will have the lights on the court at 100% and lights over the bleachers dimmed down
  • From assembly to school dance in multifunctional sports halls
    • Assembly will have light on the speakers and stage area
    • School dance will have dimmed light everywhere

A simple wall switch, pre-programmed with buttons for different scenes, streamlines this process. The operator can just press a button for “School Dance,” and the lights automatically adjust to the preset levels. Setting up these scenes is straightforward—one facility director managed to program his entire basketball court in just 15 minutes.

Alternatively, Filamento’s solutions are fully compatible with Casambi, Synapse, and Avi-on Bluetooth systems, requiring no pre-commissioning, gateway, or annual fees. They operate on a mesh network, eliminating any single point of failure that could disrupt the entire lighting system. This setup allows for easy control of the environment, whether for grouping, scheduling, or setting scenes.

Tailored Accessories for Luminaires

Gym lighting often faces a significant problem: balls hitting the luminaires and damaging the lights. Fortunately, Filamento provides a solution with their Wireguard reflector accessory, which effectively shields the lamps from any flying balls.

Installation and maintenance

Looking to update the look of your sports gym with new lighting fixtures in a cost-effective way? Filamento’s innovative luminaire design allows you to change the lamp shade with a simple click, no electrician needed. You can even commission custom-designed shades to match your gym’s vibe.

What if some of your gym’s lighting fixtures fail, and the original design is no longer available? Instead of replacing all the fixtures, Filamento offers a solution that separates the stylish outer fixture from the actual lamp inside. This means local or on-site staff can easily replace the lamp without needing an electrician, allowing you to maintain the gym’s aesthetic.

Filamento’s solutions are compatible with virtually any existing electrical infrastructure, offering cost savings whether you’re installing new fixtures or retrofitting existing ones.
