At a time when football fever is in everyone's mind more and more of Europe's top soccer clubs - and a number further afield - are switching to Thorn's Mundial floodlights. The system is ideal for colour TV: it also improves spectator - and player - viewing.This impressive picture shows the new floodlighting scheme at the widely acclaimed Ricoh Arena - home to Coventry City Football Club ("the Sky Blues"). The multi-purpose complex caters for 32,000 seated spectators and includes state-of-the-art conference, banqueting, exhibition, hotel and sports facilities.
To reduce installation costs the 120 floods, which employ OSRAM 2kW metal halide lamps are side mounted along the roofline to provide an average horizontal illuminance of 1200 lux for CTV cameras. Uniformity is an excellent 0.8 with virtually no shadows nor light spill. Action is brilliantly visible, from one goal to another.
