What is Hockey Arena Lighting Design?
Hockey Rink lighting design / skating rink lighting plans uses specialized lighting design software to model indoor ice rinks and arenas. It calculates the number of fixtures you’ll need. It will show you where these fixtures should be installed. And it will provide light levels on the ice and light balance.
Light balance is just as important as light levels. Creating a lighting solution that’s bright and balanced is the difference between noticing how good the light is and how bad it is.
We offer free lighting designs for our commercial lighting and industrial lighting clients, electricians, electrical contractors, and Escos.
How Does Lighting Balance Influence the Game in a Hockey Arena?
Lighting balance can influence the game by ensuring optimal visibility and reducing shadows and glare that would affect players’ performance.
Why is a Balanced Lighting Essential for Hockey Arenas?
Balanced lighting is essential to provide uniform illumination, reducing contrasts that can cause eye strain and interfere with players’ and spectators’ experience. No player wants to move the puck from hotspot to shadow.
What is the Process of Calculating the Number of Fixtures in a Hockey Rink?
The process of calculating the number of fixtures involves using design software to model the rink. We use industry-leading AGI32 software. The software allows us to model the hockey rink, place fixtures, choose fixtures, and configure until light levels and balance are optimal.
What are the Challenges in Creating a Balanced Lighting Plan for Hockey Arenas?
The challenges in creating a balanced light solution for hockey arenas include achieving uniform brightness across the ice surface. Ice is highly reflective, so you have to try to minimize glare as much as possible.
What are the Key Lighting Considerations in Hockey Arena Lighting Design?
The key elements in hockey arena lighting design include
- desired brightness
- balance and uniformity
- color temperature
- glare control
What is the Difference Between a Lighting Design Calculator and a Lighting Plan?
Use a calculator if:
- You are looking for a free, online tool to quickly calculate the number of fixtures you need
- You want quick, simple, and immediate results
- You are looking for a count of light fixtures needed based on a specific budget
- You need a rough estimate on quantity and layout/configuration does not matter
- There is no need to include specific light balance and shadows in your documentation
Use a lighting plan layout if:
- You would like a professional lighting plan engineer to review your requirements
- You need a calculated lighting plan that shows foot candle readings
- You need to see how balanced the light levels are, and you care about reducing shadows
- You want to show aiming angles, and light positions in scale within your indoor or outdoor area
- You need professional assurance that the lights you buy will be the right choice
