Facility: Carriage Club – Kansas City
Electrical Contractor: Carriage Club – Kansas City
THE PROBLEM
- The chief problem was that the courts were not well lit
- Another problem was that the maintenance costs on the high-intensity discharge lamps were very high
- The facility had to rent a specialty lift every time they needed to work on the fixtures because they could not disturb the court surfaces
- This required thousands of dollars every time the lighting needed work
THE SOLUTION
- We designed a specific light layout through photometric reports to give a precision light capable of complete coverage for sports lighting.
- We used a high-quality product which has a 10-year warranty, thereby eliminating maintenance costs for the facility for the next 10 years.
THE DETAILS:
Why we chose this solution:
- Because it was a tennis court, a lot of light needed to be directed to the playing surface, and almost none just outside the playing area, so that we would not disturb neighboring spaces.
- We needed a precision product: the Finney series allowed us to design the optics of the light to meet the exact parameters of the courts.
