![]() ”The new lighting adds to the ambience and experience of going to Eden Park.Work is well underway on the latest phase of the Philips Arena renovation. ![]() The solution provides a visual spectacle for people passing by or attending the games and adds to the atmosphere. “Creating a solution for the south stand that was visually interesting was important to us, it needed to have the wow factor and Philips delivered exactly what we were looking for. Philips was able to go beyond what we thought was possible while staying within budget and this is testament to their professionalism and experience,” says Tracy Morgan, General Manager Sales & Marketing for Eden Park Trust. “Working with Philips has been extremely rewarding, they are proactive and brought a range of design and capability expertise which added enormous value to the end result. For the 2011 Rugby World Cup, each side of the south stand was illuminated with the two teams’ colours, and the light effects were programmed to change dynamically.Įden Park Trust is thrilled with the way Philips produced multiple solutions for the projects that exceeded all expectations. The ColorReach Powercore floodlights are controlled by a Philips’ iPlayer 3, which has a colour palette of over 360,000 colours to utilise, along with show authoring software that allows Eden Park Trust to create and manage light shows using fully customised effects. ![]() “The Philips Color Kinetics LED system offers virtually limitless options and allows Eden Park Trust to create spectacular colour change light shows, themed to each specific event.” says Allan Stephenson. Each colour LED only uses 280 watts at full output, while in comparison conventional non-LED lighting would have required 1000w floodlights, using considerably more energy. LEDs are a highly efficient solution as they provide superior quality light while using minimal energy. For the solution, Philips used twenty four ColorReach Powercore LED floodlights. Together they completed the concept, design and installation. To illuminate the south stand, Philips partnered with a number of companies to turn this concept into a reality including, Omar Shahab from Switch Lighting Design, Modus Lighting, and Aseco. This makes it easy for the Trust to switch between lighting for individual sporting codes. The ArenaVision MVF404 floodlights use about 10% less energy than conventional stadium lighting systems and require less maintenance, meaning a significant reduction in overall running costs.Ĭontrolling the lighting is simple, as the Philips Dynalite lighting control system gives computer-based individual control over all the sports lighting in the stadium. Using ArenaVision MVF404 floodlights allowed us to provide a high-quality uniform lighting system to Eden Park that could be contained within the stadium,” says Philips Lighting Project Manager Allan Stephenson. "Ensuring minimal light spillage and glare was a core requirement of the brief and was imperative given the close proximity of the stadium to residential properties. The ArenaVision technology is specifically designed for outdoor sports stadiums and offers increased light output and optical efficiency, making it the perfect choice for Eden Park. Based on Aurecon’s design to light up the playing field, Philips provided 482 Philips ArenaVision MVF404 floodlights which were installed along the edge of the redeveloped stadium stands.
