A new home for the Leicester Riders basketball team brought about a new approach to lighting the playing area for the game.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Leicester Community Sports Arena is a \u00a34.8m joint venture project between Leicester Riders, Leicester City Council and Leicester College, funded by the partners, and Sport England and the Leicester & Leicestershire Enterprise Partnership.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Arena is the new home to the Leicester Riders and Leicester Cobras Wheelchair Basketball Club, and will also be a regional \u2018centre of excellence\u2019 for the sport. It will also serve as Leicester College\u2019s sport teaching and learning facility, and as a large multi-use sports venue for the local community.<\/p>\n

LED Light Vision (LLV) is an LED lighting solutions company with the capability to provide design and installation solutions using high quality LED luminaires, controls and ancillary items.<\/p>\n

Director of Operations Scott Williams explained that their proposals for the project included a concept not used before for professional basketball. The design concept was by Neville Moorcroft, technical Director at LLV, which provided for an advanced lighting and control system.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was great excitement about the new indoor venue \u2013 Leicester needed it and so did the Riders; they\u2019d been playing at a venue in Loughborough for two years.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe proposed a concept not used before in Europe for professional basketball, an Indirect LED lighting system without glare and flicker. We believe this sets the standard for future indoor arena lighting standards.\u201d<\/p>\n

This glare-free and high efficiency system provides a uniform light level across large spaces and is ideal for sports arenas, warehouses, superstores, large factories and airports. The light body is constructed of aluminum and a light\u2019s lifespan is sub 50,000 hours and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt also provides higher LUX lighting levels. For arenas such as the new facility in Leicester, the LUX levels normally required for televised basketball games is 1500lux; our system provides an average of some 2200lux in the Show Court for TV games,\u201d added Williams.<\/p>\n

Energy costs were high on the list of requirements with a full control system in place. This enables the lights to be used in areas where they\u2019re only needed, which gives additional savings and reduces running costs \u2013 against traditional lighting systems \u2013 by up to 70%.<\/p>\n

As well as the lighting for the arena\u2019s main hall, LLV also provided the car parking and external lighting, and lighting for the offices, hallways, toilets and reception area.<\/p>\n

The office, toilets and reception area lighting solution was a slim and simple design; polycarbonate body and cover-diffuser recessed into the ceilings.<\/p>\n

A special feature of the project \u2013 just for the Riders \u2013 was washing of the outside of the building using a red LED.<\/p>\n
