An upgrade in light
When the Hawthorn-Malvern Hockey Centre sought to upgrade their outdated lighting system, they turned to AAA-LUX for an innovative solution. For over 20 years, the club had relied on Metal Halide lighting, which frequently failed due to blown globes and inconsistent light coverage. The existing setup provided substandard lighting levels, falling well below the 300 lux standard. This was a significant limitation for a club aspiring to host Premier League games, which require 500 lux lighting.
The upgrade needed to address more than just brightness. Situated near a main road, the facility also had to minimize light spill and glare. AAA-LUX emerged as the ideal partner, delivering a cutting-edge lighting system tailored to the club’s unique needs. The solution included the revolutionary Control Box 2, enabling seamless control over lighting intensity and patterns.
Now, Hawthorn-Malvern Hockey Centre enjoys precise, app-based control of their lighting system. As President Ross Blair-Holt explains, “We can run 300 lux during training and switch to 500 lux for matches, all with an app – it saves electricity as well!” The feedback from members has been overwhelmingly positive. According to Mr. Blair-Holt, “The new lights have blown everyone away! Players are amazed at the improved lighting and lux levels.”
When asked for his advice to other organizations considering AAA-LUX, Mr. Blair-Holt’s response was clear: “Go for it! A great job with wonderful outcomes.” Hawthorn-Malvern Hockey Centre is yet another satisfied customer, enjoying the benefits of AAA-LUX’s advanced and efficient lighting solutions.
