Illumination quality that knocks you off your feet
Average LED’s are unable to illuminate a cricket oval due to the dimensions of a cricket oval and the importance of quality illumination for the game. Not for AAA-LUX: by combining the most sophisticated technologies, AAA-LUX has managed to produce a luminaire that answers even to the illumination requirements dictated by the ICC.
Light plays an important role in cricket, thereby placing a major emphasise on the quality of the luminaire. Cricket ovals are huge, often resulting in light sources being positioned far away from the action. AAA-LUX partner Jasstech recently dealt with this when they installed AAA-LUX LED technology at Limestone Park cricket oval in Ipswich, Australia. Here light for a cricket game needs to travel over twice thedistance of an average football field.With a cricket ball being small in size but travelling at high speeds, batsmen need the best possible illumination in order to be able to react quickly. Well-trained bowlers throw a ball at speeds of up to 160 km per hour leaving a batsman with approximately 0.4 seconds to react. Good illumination is important to have this achieved. AAA-LUX LED increases visibility through a combination of high colour rendering (CRI) and the fact the light is more tranquil for the human eye. The key is in so-called continues lighting. Contrary to conventional luminaires, AAA-LUX LED luminaires don’t flicker enabling athletes to better track objects moving at high speed.
Cristal clear on TV
Illuminating a cricket game on TV poses unique challenges. The vast size of professional cricket venues often requires light to travel over 300 meters to capture a clear image. To provide consistent vertical lighting from the camera side, the beam must span across the field and reflect off the ball back into the camera for optimal visibility. Only high-quality LED technology can meet this demand, and AAA-LUX delivers with powerful lighting and advanced optics.
AAA-LUX designs, develops, and assembles its lighting solutions in Eindhoven, Netherlands, a hub for LED innovation. Leveraging local expertise, AAA-LUX constantly refines its technology to ensure top-tier performance. Their smart control system also enables adaptive lighting, allowing venues to reduce intensity for lower-league matches, saving energy while maintaining quality.
With the rapid growth of new cricket formats, AAA-LUX LED technology is set to become a game-changer in international cricket.
