Urban architectural lighting of buildings, bridges, statues and gardens can also help to create a
nightscape even more striking than the same area as seen by day.
Today’s architectural lighting does not necessarily involve high light levels but models
architectural features with color and shade. High light quality and even colored right sources
are appropriate in this application.
Compact HID lamps (Master Colour CDM & CDM Elite) next to Master SON &
Master HPI
are most suitable for this application area.
Sports lighting
Increases revenue by extending the activities of a sports club into the hours of darkness.
Special care is needed with lighting design to avoid light entering players’ eyes directly, wherever
they may be in the playing area, and also to avoid light pollution in residential areas. In local
recreational facilities and small clubs, the requirements are for functional lighting at low
initial and running costs. Each lighting point should therefore provide high light output with a
reasonable colour quality, and the lamps should have a long lifetime. As well as careful design to
avoid glare and light spill,
professional sports lighting must cater for the needs of colour TV
coverage and photography. This requires extremely high light levels – three times those used in
commercial offices – and superb colour rendering. Because of the limited burning period, lamp
lifetime is a less important consideration than reliability.
Dedicated lamps for these applications are the MASTER MHN-FC for recreational
and MASTER MHN LA & SA for professional sports.
Area lighting
Covers a range of applications, industrial areas, transport and parking facilities, services and
care institutes, etc. It has gained in importance with the appearance of large industrial estates
outside or at the edges of urban areas. Its role is to provide orientation and safe working
conditions in the hours of darkness as well as by day. Area lighting must be, functional,
economical and reliable, and provide glare-free illumination without causing light pollution to
the surrounding environment. Parking areas and loading and unloading zones often require
better colour rendering than the other areas. High light levels with a good efficacy and
reasonable colour rendering, together with a long service lifetime are usually the key criteria in
area lighting.
Recommended high power lamps are Quartz Metal Halide (MASTER HPI &
MASTER MHN) as well as MASTER SON PIA
