Reforma
Objective
Develop and implement a sports lighting system. Features of the project lie in the need to create an invigorating and stimulating training atmosphere. A small amount, as well as its unevenness, or pulsation, lead to rapid fatigue of light and reduced results.Solution
Suspended aluminum profiles with an energy-efficient LED strip were used in the project, allowing to create uniform flood lighting and effectively complement the design solutions of the interior of the club's gyms. LED lighting was installed in all Reforma fitness centers. The length of the pendant lights at some points exceeds 20 meters. Also, the lighting of the respawn and brand-wall zones was implemented.Result: Construction of a sports lighting system - from the available illumination and the estimated amount of light to the installation, start-up and debugging of all equipment. The implemented solutions meet the requirements for creating high-class facilities.
Lighting technology
Lighting technology is an applied field of science and engineering dealing with the generation, spatial redistribution, measurement and practical use of optical radiation. For a long time its role was limited to providing visibility at night, but modern lighting technology has grown into a complex interdisciplinary industry at the intersection of optics, materials science, microelectronics, architecture and neurobiology.
The fundamental turning point in the industry was the solid-state revolution — the transition to semiconductor light sources (LED). LEDs displaced traditional incandescent lamps and gas-discharge tubes thanks to phenomenal energy efficiency, miniature size, longevity (tens of thousands of operating hours) and high resistance to mechanical damage. This made it possible to abandon bulky luminaires in favour of integrated architectural solutions, concealed lighting and ultra-thin optical systems based on secondary optics (lenses, collimators and microprismatic diffusers).
The approach to light quality has changed in parallel. Where luminous efficacy (lumens per watt) used to be the main criterion, the focus has now shifted to colour rendering (CRI and TM-30 indices) and visual comfort. The suppression of parasitic flicker and control of the discomfort glare index (UGR) have become key parameters.
The key trend in modern lighting technology is the Human Centric Lighting (HCL) concept. The discovery of photosensitive retinal ganglion cells proved that the spectral composition and intensity of light directly govern our circadian rhythms. By changing the colour temperature (from a warm, relaxing 2700 K spectrum to a cold, invigorating 6500 K) during the day, modern dynamic lighting systems synchronise the production of melatonin and cortisol, improving concentration during the day and promoting deep sleep at night.
The integration of lighting technology with digital protocols (DALI-2, Zigbee, Bluetooth Mesh) and presence and daylight sensors has turned luminaires into key nodes of smart buildings and cities, where light switches on exactly where and when it is needed.
