Lots of Watts Australia has successfully completed the installation of a custom engineered architectural lighting control solution for Sydney Olympic Park Precinct.
Working from an initial design from Lighting Art & Science with Colin Barker and Richard Mason, the brief provided Sydney Olympic Park Authority the ability to bring the precinct to life with light via a combination of Martin Exterior LED fixtures, architectural lighting control systems and point to point wireless control.
Initially envisaged for the NRL State of Origin Game 2, the final architectural lighting control solution now provides the precinct operator the ability to provide the public and event organisers an immersive experience with light.
The solution specified by Lighting Art & Science called for a sophisticated combination of control system integration across a geographically large precinct area to provide continuity of control and precinct appearance.
This was achieved using wireless devices strategically designed to be positioned across the precinct, allowing transmission of all lighting control protocols instantaneously for experiential consistency across the precinct.
The Martin Exterior 400™ LED fixtures have a solid reputation for lighting the tops of structures, up-lighting columns or reaching across long spaces and so a total of thirty-eight, located in six different locations, were chosen for the project.
Martin’s Exterior 400™ now produces a much brighter and crisper light with more saturated colours when compared to the earlier models. Today, the Exterior 400 line boasts a brighter light with lower power consumption of 139 W, down from the 575 W of its predecessor. Additionally, the fixture’s advanced LED technology limits downtime and maintenance costs while increasing the life span from 2,000 hours to 40,000 hours.
Lots of Watts Australia prepared the scores of Martin Exterior 400™ fixtures by fitting the appropriate lenses and glare shields as well as mounting them on custom made brackets.
Coupled with Lots of Watts Australia’s experience and lighting control solution engineering, the Sydney Olympic Park Venue can now provide all visitors a spectacular, lighting driven experience.
