Crowfoot Arena sought to modernize its lighting system to enhance the player experience, improve visibility, and lower operational costs. The existing lighting infrastructure was outdated, consuming excessive energy while failing to provide optimal illumination for the ice rink. The arena needed an energy-efficient solution that would also contribute to improved safety and performance.
THE PROBLEM
-
High energy consumption leading to increased operational costs.
-
Flickering lights affecting player visibility and safety.
-
Excess heat output from traditional fixtures impacting ice quality.
PROJECT SUMMARY
-
Energy Savings: Equivalent to powering
120 homes for a month. -
Enhanced Visibility: Brighter, whiter ice
surface with sharper rink markings. -
Cost Efficiency: Reduced maintenance
and lower electricity costs. -
Improved Player Experience: Better
puck tracking and playing conditions.
THE SOLUTION
Radiance Energy implemented a cutting-edge LED lighting system tailored for sports
environments. The upgrade featured:
