Energy efficient lighting solutions pro-vider Philips reports it has been contracted to light soccer pitches in a number of stadiums in Poland and Ukraine, including the Olympic stadium of Kiev.
The other stadiums are Donbass Arena, Metalist stadium, Kharkiv Arena, Poznan City stadium and Municipal stadium.
Philips? advanced lighting solutions contribute to enhancing the viewing experi-ence for players, spectators and television viewers alike, bringing alive the spectacle and emotion of the soccer being played. Philips? innovative and unobtrusive lighting system helps players and referees deliver the best performance, the company states.
The stadiums are, among other functions, venues for the biennial Uefa European Football Championship, this year, during Europe?s summer.
Philips states its latest innovations are tailor-made for high-definition television quality and contribute to enhancing the viewing experience. The installed Philips lighting includes pitch and facade lighting, illuminating six of the eight stadiums that will be hosting the games.
?Philips and sports lighting have been a winning combination for a long time and, with our world leadership in energy efficient lighting solutions, we will continue to build on that relationship,? says Philips Lighting CEO Eric Rondolat.
?Sport is about performance and emotions. Philips captures the performance and emotions so that millions of people can enjoy the matches. I am proud that our lights will illuminate the main stadiums,? he notes.
The ArenaVision floodlights also give live spectators the best possible viewing experience from every seat in the stadium. In addition, good and unobtrusive lighting helps players and referees deliver the best performance.
Philips provided the Kiev stadium with tailor-made lighting systems. The stadium is the largest in Ukraine, able to host 60 000 spectators. The system includes a total of 608 Philips ArenaVision sport floodlights. Further, Philips? lighting concept combines functional and decorative solutions to create the effect of a ?ring of fire? on the stadium?s roof edge. The company also performed lighting calculations and reconciled power and control systems.
The company supervised the installation, including the targeting, commissioning works and lighting design measurements in cooperation with partner organisations.
Meanwhile, the stadium in Poznan, Poland, was the first of the arenas which will be hosting the soccer tournament in that country to be completed. The stadium is notable for its dynamic, coloured lighting of the outer facade, using light-emitting diode (LED) lighting systems. A total of 195 Philips LED projectors, as well as a control system and software, were used to illuminate the outer facade of the Poznan stadium, thereby enabling dynamic colour changes.
As a result, the Poznan Arena is endowed with the additional quality of being condu-cive to fostering emotion by dramatising the action taking place there during sporting and entertainment events and concerts.
