One of Sweden's most modern floorball stadiums

The arena was opened in 2005 and is owned by IBF Falun through its wholly owned subsidiary, Falu Innebandyarena AB.

ASSIGNMENT

To modernize and prepare for the upcoming phase-out of T5 and T8 fluorescent lamps, the arena's lighting needed to be reviewed. Lighting calculations were made and early on it became clear that significant savings would be made in the future, despite higher illumination levels.

SOLUTION

The lighting in the stadium was upgraded from traditional T5 fluorescent tubes to modern LED ECHO 1 luminaires with integrated smart DALI control, which among other things enables stepless regulation of brightness. In addition to lighting the playing field, some of the luminaires are used to illuminate the stands and aisles, which have been dimmed down to only 36 W.

The upgrade of the Guide Arena has brought benefits such as reduced energy consumption, less environmental impact and better lighting values.

Savings after replacement

If we assume that the operating time of the luminaires in the arena is approx. 5 hours per day and thus 1825 hours per year, the old solution with traditional T5 fluorescent luminaires corresponded to SEK 121 618 per year for the association if 1 kWh is assumed to cost SEK 2. Today, the costs have been reduced to SEK 41 347 according to the same calculation. The savings made possible are thus as much as SEK 80 271 per year. In addition, the new luminaires are equipped with DALI control, which was not possible with the luminaires previously installed in the facility.

In addition to the large energy savings of over 60%, the lighting power was also increased by 20%, proving that modern LED lighting for the premises makes a big difference to both the economy and the environment.

Before, the light was yellow and cloudy, now it's white and clear!
