Because on the Rhine shines: new LED lighting for Bundesliga table tennis!

Weil am Rhein is ready for the first Bundesliga: The sports hall in the city has now received a new lighting that meets the requirements for the highest play classes. As Verlagshaus-Jaumann.de reports, the required illuminance for participation in the first Bundesliga at 1000 lux. This brand has now been reached with the new LED lighting.

Before that were installed in Hall 61, the lamp tubes and LED spotlights attached to the side were installed. But the old models could only meet this standard in some areas of the hall. In view of the EU-wide prohibition or the decline in the performance of these fluorescent tubes, it was decided to convert the entire lighting to 30 modern LED lights. These new light sources are not only more energy -efficient, but also bring many advantages.

energy efficiency and light quality

The new LED lights impress with a light output of 120 lumens per watt, while the fluorescent tubes only came to 50 lumens per watt. This unit of measurement, the lumen, indicates the entire light output of a source and is crucial for the assessment of lighting. The higher the luminous flux, the brighter the light. A better example would be a 60-watt light lamp, which offers about 800 lumens compared to a 10-watt-LED lamp, which can generate the same amount of light as lampen1a.de explained.

The luminosity (LUX) and the light intensity (candela) are used not only the lumens, but also the illuminance (Lux) and the light intensity. In the case of our sports hall, a beam angle and the light color also means a role. LED lights are usually more efficient and often have a closer beam angle, which makes the lighting more precisely.

long -term costs and sustainability

By switching to LED lights, the hall can not only save operating costs, but also use a sustainable solution. The lifespan of the new lamps is between 10,000 and 60,000 hours, compared to the approximately 4,000 hours of halogen lamps or 10,000 hours of energy-saving lamps, as can be seen on Elektro.com . The long-term costs are also remarkable: at a burning time of 10,000 hours, switching to LED lights saves cash.

With this change in Weil am Rhein, not only a basic requirement for sports operations was created, but also focused on efficiency and the latest technology. The city shows that it thinks and invests sustainably so that table tennis can take place at the Bundesliga level.
