Parken


Mundial beams in on Parken

 
As digital TV technology with its ever increasing demands for close-up photography becomes commonplace in sports stadiums, many users find they are having problems with the original lighting system. The lighting specifications are becoming more onerous requiring increased illuminance levels, better uniformity and control of glare and spill light.

These were typical of the issues suffered by Parken, the home ground of F.C. Copenhagen and Denmark’s national stadium. When it issued the brief for a lighting system to replace its 15 year old scheme it was for the use of precision optics in high performance floodlights.

A total of 212 Mundial floodlights with 2kW metal halide lamps were installed. They provide the required higher standards of lighting. Furthermore, they are easily upgraded.
