Case Study

Leicester City Football Club, UK


Lighting fit for the Premier League -
Thorn floodlights chosen for Leicester City FC

Background
In order to meet the levels of vertical illuminance needed for HDTV
sport coverage Leicester FC needed to refurbish the King Power
stadium. The refurbishment work commenced prior to the club
becoming champions of the Premier League but it ensured the facility
was elevated to Premier League standards.

Lighting Objectives
In order to achieve the required
levels, floodlighting specialists
PWP Building Services,
Nottingham needed to provide
1650 lux to main camera
position with extremely low
levels of flicker to allow for super
slow motion viewing.

With its unique combination of


photometrics Thorn Lighting’s
Altis and Mundial Floodlights
were the obvious choice.

Solution
PWP Building Services installed 192 x 2KW Altis and 12 x 2W
Mundial floodlights. Altis is a high power floodlight for sports
lighting applications that produces a unique quality of light suitable
for HDTV broadcasting. Its flexible optical system optimises light
distribution for best in class results, whilst the compact dimensions
and low weight of the fitting present minimal structural costs. The IP65
rated Altis floodlight has been designed to provide the ultimate, fully
controllable solution that enables two stage lighting. This allows for a
lower illumination level after the match for ground maintenance which
still maintains a good level of light but with increased energy savings.

The excellent thermal management ensures consistency and stability


of light over time and memory setting provides the ability to retain the
floodlight setting after maintenance. Accurate aiming is achieved with
an adjustable precision aiming device around the frame.

Paul Lewis, Operations Manager at Leicester City FC commented


“The lights are fantastic and give an excellent coverage of the pitch.
A great job by Thorn and installer PWP nothing was left to chance,
two very professional companies.”
