Indoor sports lighting project

Coulaures Sports Hall

A multi-sport LED solution designed from study to installation

For this new municipal multi-sport hall in Dordogne, STADÉLUM supported the project with a photometric study, a zone-based lighting layout and installation guidance.

Context

Lighting a new multi-sport hall without focusing solely on the product

A municipal sports hall must be able to accommodate several sports, training sessions, school or community activities, with different requirements depending on the areas of the building: sports area, perimeter, spectator seating, entrances and circulation areas.

For Coulaures, the objective was not simply to supply luminaires. The solution also had to take into account the available height, the distribution of lighting points, the sports area, the spectator area and the installation constraints of a new building.

STADÉLUM support

A comprehensive approach: study, product, layout and technical support

The performance of indoor sports lighting depends as much on the quality of the luminaire as on its layout, optics, mounting height and aiming. This overall consistency is what guides the STADÉLUM approach.

01
Photometric study

Lighting simulation before installation to validate light distribution and identify the areas to be illuminated.

02
Luminaire selection

Selection of SUPRALED 150 W luminaires in 4000 K to meet the requirements of an indoor multi-sport hall.

03
Zone-based layout

24 luminaires above the sports area and 4 additional luminaires for the spectator area.

04
Installation guidance

Support regarding mounting height, suspension, positioning and aiming to remain consistent with the study.

Technical evidence

Studies designed to secure the expected result before installation

Study visuals make the project easier to understand for the project owner, installer and on-site teams. They help illustrate the expected light distribution before the luminaires are permanently installed.

Selected product

SUPRALED 150 W 4000 K: a suspended luminaire for indoor sports lighting

For this project, the selected solution uses 28 SUPRALED 150 W luminaires with a 4000 K colour temperature. The configuration consists of four rows of six luminaires above the sports area, complemented by one row of four luminaires over the spectator area.

On-site result

Clear, consistent lighting suited to the uses of a municipal sports hall

The visual result highlights a bright, clean sports hall suitable for a variety of sporting activities. The study, luminaire selection and installation guidance help create a consistent installation without unnecessarily increasing the number of lighting points.

This project illustrates the STADÉLUM approach: providing a complete technical solution, from analysing the requirement through to supporting the installer.

What this project demonstrates

A sports lighting project is about more than a product reference

In a sports hall, the same luminaire can produce very different results depending on the mounting height, number of lighting points, optics, spacing, aiming and quality of installation.

Before installation

Assessment of the building, luminaire selection, definition of the layout and anticipation of the areas to be illuminated.

During installation

Guidance on mounting height, suspension, aiming and consistency between the study layout and actual site conditions.

After installation

Where conditions allow, illuminance level checks or support with final on-site measurements.

Technical FAQ

LED lighting for a new sports hall: key points to check

Why carry out a photometric study for a new sports hall?

The study makes it possible to verify light distribution, layout, the required uniformity and consistency between the luminaires, available height and the areas to be illuminated.

Why not focus solely on the number of luminaires?

The number of luminaires alone is not enough. Mounting height, optics, spacing, aiming and the area covered have a major influence on the visual result and user comfort.

Were the lux values measured on this project?

The information provided for Coulaures describes the configuration, study and installation layout. No measured lux values are added unless supported by an on-site measurement report.
