The Champion of Sports Lighting

75 years of Lighting people and places

Thorn have a long and proud history in lighting, spanning 75years, and demonstrating thefinest ability in using the latesttechnology to provide the bestsolutions.

Over a 50 year period we havedeveloped and applied the bestin floodlighting - the provision oflight to large areas. We havedeveloped valuable knowledgeand expertise in sport lighting.

We understand the need to meetthe needs of players on the pitch,and also to safeguard theenvironment for the localcommunity and for astronomers.

We understand the importance oflighting for sporting activities atall levels, from the part it plays infacilitating local community sportsdevelopment, to the complex mixof needs associated with theworlds biggest sporting sites.

Recent Thorn achievementsinclude lighting the TelstraStadium in Australia, site of the2000 Olympics, and the SuncorpStadium in Brisbane, host tomany of the 2003 rugby worldcup games.

The lighting industry has recently witnessed the emergenceof the asymmetric Floodlight as asolution to sports facilities, small stadia and general areafloodlighting projects where thecontrol of obtrusive light iscritical. Such floodlights arecommonly referred to as ‘flatglass floodlights’, as they aredesigned to operate with thefront glass parallel to the groundto avoid any direct upwardcontributions to artificial skyglow. However, the reality is that most ‘flat glass’ projectorswill need to be tilted on-site inorder to meet the illuminance and uniformity requirements ofthe installation.

Champion is our new asymmetricfloodlight for 1 and 2 kW lamps,incorporating an innovativedesign concept which takes theperformance of asymmetricfloodlights to the next level.

Instead of having a true ‘flatglass’ construction, which canlimit the efficiency of a floodlight,Champion’s front glass is inclinedinside the floodlight. The front ofthe body acts as a cowl for full-cut-off and provides a ‘virtual’light emitting surface whichremains parallel to the ground.As a result, Champion combinesmany of the performance featuresof classic ‘projectors’ (high levelsof light output) with those of ‘flatglass’ projectors (control ofobtrusive Light).

Furthermore, each lamp optionhas a minimum of 4 lamppositions, adjustable on-site, toprovide different photometriesfrom just one installed position.Illuminance and uniformityrequirements of floodlightingprojects can be optimised withoutthe need to tilt the floodlight, thusreducing contributions toobtrusive light.

The innovative design conceptof Champion takes theperformance of asymmetricfloodlights to the next level bycombining on pitchperformance with the control of obtrusive light.

The term, ‘obtrusive light’ is usedto describe a number ofundesirable by-products ofexterior lighting installations.Obtrusive light can be anuisance through eitherpreventing us from seeing thingsor causing discomfort, by eitherreceiving light that we do notwant to receive, or by being ableto see a light source that we donot want to see.

The main components ofobtrusive light can be clearlyidentified and positive steps canbe taken to minimise their effects,including the correct selection of lighting equipment and propercontrol of the light output. Such control must be inherent not only to the floodlight, but also to the installation design, if it is to be effective.

For exterior lighting installations,obtrusive light manifests itself in:

• Contributions to artificial sky glow

• Light spill (light trespass) which contributes to Intrusive light

• Glare

Artificial sky glowArtificial sky glow is thephenomenon whereby lightemitted from a source is reflectedby particles of dust, moisture andcloud in the night sky, creating ahalo of light above towns andother significant lightinginstallations, preventing us fromseeing the stars.

Light spill (light trespass)Light spill (or light trespass) is thespillage light, beyond thedesignated area for which it isintended, into an adjacent area.At best, it is a waste of light andenergy. When it intrudes intopeoples homes, it becomesintrusive light.

GlareGlare can be a problem forsports participants, but it canalso be a problem to residentsliving local to a lit installation.If floodlights are badly aimed,people will be able to lookdirectly into the light source,causing visual discomfort, or bedistracted by a bright source (thefloodlight) appearing against adark background (the night sky).This can also be a hazardousdistraction to passing motorists.

Obtrusive light

The problem of glare is often taken into account for the on-pitch activities, however the problems caused to local residents are sometimes ignored.

Champion vs obtrusive lightWe all have a duty tominimise the effects ofobtrusive light.

The following sections of thisbrochure will examine in detailhow the innovative designconcept of Champion can help minimise obtrusive lightmore efficiently than existingfloodlights.

Obtrusive Light is a muchtalked about, and often highlyemotive subject. But whatexactly is it, and how canChampion help fight it?

The exact lighting requirements of an installation are dependentupon the sport to be played andthe competitive level. The higherthe level of competition, thegreater the requirements will be.

The requirements will also behigher for those sports where the visual information itself ismore difficult to process. For example, the lighting offootball terrains generally requirelower levels of illuminance anduniformity than hockey terrains,where the ball is smaller andtravels at greater speeds.

Illuminance and UniformityThe lighting level (illuminance) of an installation obviously needs to be sufficient for theparticipants to effectively processthe visual information of what is happening on the pitch(movement of people, balls etc).

Equally important is theuniformity of this illuminance. If there are parts of the pitch thatare quite dark in comparison toits immediate surrounds, this willimpair the effective processing ofthe visual information, even if theaverage illuminance of the totalpitch is acceptable.

Imagine how difficult it would beto follow a hockey ball moving athigh speeds in and out of darkpatches on the ground.

Colour appearance and rendering of lightThe colour appearance of the light, as well as the colourrendering properties (the degree to which colours are truly represented by the light)also help with the processing ofvisual information. The use ofwhite light sources such as MetalHalide lamps is an effective wayof enabling this, although‘yellow’ sources such as HighPressure Sodium are oftensufficient for lower levels ofcompetitive activity.

Glare controlBright sources (floodlights) visibleagainst a dark background (thenight sky) can cause discomfortand disability glare if the light isnot correctly controlled andfocussed on the target area (thepitch). The control of glarerequires excellent inherent optical control and correct aiming of floodlights.

Champion for sport

The Champion solutionExcellent levels of Illuminance and uniformity can be achieveddue to its excellent light outputand range of optical options

Excellent colour appearanceand colour rendering can beachieved through its use ofMetal Halide lamps*

Excellent glare control isprovided through its uniqueoptical construction (seeChampion for the designer).

The proof of a floodlight’seffective performance is in itsability to meet the requirementsof the project design. On pages18-21 of this brochure, you willfind various standard templateschemes designed usingChampion for a range of sports and variety ofcompetitive levels.

* High Pressure Sodium lamps are also offered in Champion for lower level sports installations

Players, adjudicators andspectators of sport need goodlevels of lighting to ensure thatneither performance nor theability to follow the match is impaired.

Artificial sky glowArtificial sky glow is caused by a combination of direct andindirect contributions.

Direct contributions to sky glowDirect contributions come fromthe upward light output offloodlights above the horizontalaxes of their installed positions.This can be eliminated by the use of horizontal ‘flat glass’floodlights, but only if thefloodlights are installed with thelight emitting surface parallel tothe ground.

However, the increasinglydemanding ‘on-pitch’ lightingrequirements of sportsinstallations will often requiremore than simple side-to-siderotational adjustment of thefloodlights.

If the peak intensity angle of thefloodlight is too low (i.e. it is notsufficiently asymmetric), it willneed to be tilted so that sufficientlighting and uniformity levels areprovided in the centre of thesports pitch. This will increasedirect contributions to sky glow and the possibility of light trespass.

Indirect contributions, unlikedirect contributions, cannot beeliminated. There will alwaysbe some reflected light from aninstallation. However, we canseek to minimise it by lightingthe target area to the lowestaverage lighting anduniformity levels consistent with the visibility requirementsfor the sport.

Take, for example, a sportspitch requiring an averagelighting level of 250 lux with a uniformity rating of 0.6.

Lighting the pitch to less than250 lux and less than 0.6uniformity would mean thatthere is insufficient lighting for the participants. However,lighting the pitch to 300 luxwould mean that theinstallation is ‘overlit’ by 20%, thus increasing indirectcontributions to sky glow by 20%.

The innovative design conceptof Champion not only enablesit to be installed without tilting,thereby reducing directcontributions to artificial skyglow, but also to reduce therisk of over-lighting aninstallation, thereby reducingindirect contributions toartificial sky glow.

Champion for astronomers

If tilting is out of the question,then the quantity of floodlightscould be increased. However,this can result in ‘over-lighting’ of the installation and subsequentincreases in Indirect contributionsto sky glow (see below).

Another alternative could be toincrease the mounting height of the floodlights, but this willincrease the costs of the masts.

Therefore, in reality, ‘flat glass’floodlights’ are very rarelyinstalled ‘flat’, rather diminishingthe arguments for using this type of floodlight.

However, Champion has an adjustable lamp feature, which can provide avariety of different light outputsfrom a single installed position (e.g. with the virtual light emittingsurface parallel to the ground).

Indirect contributions to sky glowIndirect contributions come fromthe upward light reflected fromthe ground. In sports, forexample, grass can reflect up to10% of light while some artificialsurfaces can reflect as much as25%. The indirect contributionfrom an installation can thereforebe quite significant but is oftenignored as a contributor toobtrusive light.

The key concern ofastronomers with regards toexternal lighting installations isthe potential contribution toartificial sky glow, which canprevent us from seeing thestars at night.

There are two aspects of exteriorlighting installations that canconcern residents living close to the installation.

Intrusive light and vertical illuminanceFirstly, light that is projectedbeyond the area for which it is intended (spill light) can enterpeoples homes (intrusive light)creating unwanted levels ofilluminance in the home. Evenwith curtains drawn, this can beproblematic and interrupt sleep.

The total Intrusive Light of aninstallation cannot be measuredas it is something which isspecific to an individual location.However, for each house withinthe neighbourhood, intrusive lightcan be measured as the verticalilluminance level of the windows.As such, given that the height of a typical 1st floor bedroomwindow is approximately 5 metres above ground level, it can be interesting to estimate the vertical illuminance levels at a height of 5 metres

The ‘flat glass’ solutionThe recent increasing popularityof ‘flat glass’ solutions has helpedto reduce both of these problems.The asymmetric distribution of thelight enables the front glass of theprojector to be installed parallelto the ground. The fitting then has a total cut off of the lightdistribution near to the horizontalsuch that the visibility of the lampand the optics is diminishedbeyond the target area of theinstallation. If the cut off is evenfurther below the horizontal, thiswill reduce further the possibilityof spill light.

Note that as soon as a floodlightis tilted, vertical illuminance levelsincrease significantly.

Unfortunately, as we havepreviously seen, ‘flat glass’floodlights are very rarelyinstalled ‘flat’ due to the peakintensity angle (degree ofasymmetry) not being sufficient tomeet the illuminance demands ofthe installation in the centre of the pitch or the need to ‘aim’ thefittings to achieve sufficientuniformity.

The Champion solutionChampion provides a genuine‘no tilt’ solution for most sportstraining and small stadiainstallations.

With peak intensity angles upto 68° from the perpendicular,the illuminance requirements atthe centre of the playing areacan be met without tilting.

Furthermore, since each lampoption has a minimum of 4lamp positions, and thereby different photometricdistributions from one installedposition, any aiming requiredto optimise uniformity on thepitch can be realised throughthe selection of the lampposition, and not by tilting.

The Champion solution is the‘no-tilt’ solution, reducingintrusive light and glare outsideof the playing area.

The innovative design conceptof Champion enables it to beinstalled without tilting, therebyhelping to reduce glare andintrusive light.

Champion for the community

Residents living close to lighting installations areconcerned about the amount of intrusive light and glare that they may be subjected to.

The skill of the lighting designeris to find the right balance in meeting the needs of thevarious stakeholders of sports installations.

How can the lighting designerprovide sufficient ‘on-pitch’performance (illuminance anduniformity),with a minimum offloodlights and minimise ‘off-pitch’ obtrusive light (sky glowand light spill)?

Traditionally, at least one of theseelements has had to suffer.‘Classic’ style projectors withexcellent light output propertiescan provide excellent on-pitchperformance with a minimum of floodlights, but they lack theoptical control to minimisecontributions to sky-glow and spilllight. Conversely, ‘flat glass’floodlights can minimise obtrusivelight, but have lower lightoutputs, thus increasing thenumber of floodlights required tolight the installation.

Optical performance of ‘flatglass’ foodlights and‘classic’ style projectorsWhen analysing the geometry ofsports lighting installations suchas football, hockey or rugbypitches, we can see that somefloodlights will need to be aimedat more than 60° from theperpendicular, if sufficientilluminance is to be achieved inthe centre of the playing area.

If the front glass is to bepositioned parallel to the ground(flat), then the peak intensityangle of the floodlight needs tobe somewhere between 60 - 70°from the perpendicular.

When light passes through glass,some light is reflected backproducing internal reflectionswhich result, effectively, in lostlight. If light passes through glassat 0°, then these internal

reflections are minimised andapproximately 90% of light istransmitted. As the angleincreases, so do the internalreflections and, thereby, lightlosses. At an angle of 70°, lessthan 70% of light is transmitted.

‘Flat glass’ floodlights will, atbest, produce 20% less light thana ‘Classic’ style projector (whichtransmits light at an angle nearerto 0°) with the result thatinstallations using ‘flat glass’floodlights will require 20 – 30%more fittings.

The Champion solutionThe optical design of Championis unique and sets new standardsfor providing ‘on-pitch’performance whilst minimisingthe number of floodlightsrequired and the contributions toobtrusive light.

The reflector design of Championis modelled on those of ‘classic’style projectors. It is also highlyefficient and designed to focus asmuch of the light produced bythe lamp in the direction in whichit is required.

Furthermore, because the frontglass is inclined within the body,the light passes through the glassat an angle that does notgenerate significant internalreflections and light losses.

Champion generates light outputratios, and thereby on-pitchperformances, normallyassociated with classicprojectors.

The body of Champion has beendesigned to act as a cowlproviding the ‘light beam cut off’at 80° from the perpendicularthat is required to minimise lightspill. The cowl creates a ‘virtual‘light emitting surface, which is to be aimed parallel (flat) to the ground.

Champion for lighting designers

Champion provides all theoptical control elementsassociated with ‘flat glass’floodlights.

Finally, the adjustable lampfeature provides a variety ofoptical distributions, from asingle installed position, whichcan be mixed to achieve therequired levels of uniformity.Examples of this can be seenin the template schemessection of this brochure.

Champion provides excellentuniformity without the need to either tilt the floodlight,raise the mounting height oradd extra floodlights to thescheme.

Additional accessories forincreased control of obtrusive lightAdjustable ‘vertical lightshields’ are particularlyinventive accessories whichhave been developed forareas of extreme sensitivity tolight spill. They are adjustableon site and enable the lightbeams to be ‘cut off’ at angles below 80° from theperpendicular.

The front shield cuts the lightbeam to the front (usually the most critical direction) andboth sides of the fitting. Thereis another accessory forcutting the light beam to the rear.

The optical design ofChampion combines outputefficiency normally associatedwith standard floodlightingprojects with the control ofobtrusive light associated with ‘flat glass’ asymmetric floodlights.

The role of the sports lightingdesigner is to find the rightbalance in meeting the needsof participants, astronomers and the local community.

When fittings are mounted atheights of anything up to 30m,any procedures need to besimplified wherever possible.

The inherent product designfeatures of Champion makeinstallation and maintenanceboth simple and safe.

Ease and safety of installationand maintenance for highpower floodlights is crucial.

Champion for installers

A simple ‘aiming sight’ issupplied with each floodlight to enable aiming in azimuth.

The top of floodlight is parallelto the ‘virtual’ light emittingsurface. A 0° tilt of the unit caneasily be assured by using aspirit level on the top surface ofthe unit.

The adjustable stirrup provides a number of possible mountingpositions. Installation flexibility is furthered by the availability of a ‘reverse mounting’ stirrupaccessory which enable allinstalled positions to beaddressed.

The floodlight is IP66 rated,including the ignitor box, whichis mounted on the stirrup.

Safety is assured through anClass I Electrical ratingcombined with automaticpower disconnection when therear access door is opened.

Access to the lamp is via arear door, and does notrequire tools to open,simplifying maintenanceprocedures. The rear accessdoor drops down to providea tray for any tools.

It is vital to ensure that while therequirements of on-pitch lightingare achieved, the off-pitchlighting levels are properlycontrolled, and calculated at theplanning stage to ensurecompliance with best practicestandards.

A typical 1st floor bedroom isapproximately 5 metres aboveground level, so the verticalilluminance at height 5 metres isof critical importance. Thismeasurement (“Ev”) is depictedon the vertical surface includedin each of the following templateschemes.
