Lighting in Design Q3 2024

Innovative sports lighting solution for Hoërskool Kempton Park BEKA Schréder has supplied the smart LED floodlighting solution for Hoërskool Kempton Park’s new astro hockey field in Gauteng.

H oërskool Kempton Park, known as Kem pies, was founded in 1956 as one of the first Afrikaans high schools on the East Rand. Kempies is, therefore, celebrating its 68 th anniversary this year with a learner count of 1700 learners. As things change on the educational scene, Kempies is currently the only Afrikaans home language high school in the greater Kemp ton Park area. Apart from Afrikaans, English and Life Orientation, learners can choose between 18 subjects. Furthermore, Kempies participates in 15 different sports activities. One of these sports activities is hockey! To host prestigious hockey matches, they decided to build a new Astro Hockey field with a Category 2 Hockey surface. This is one of three Category 2 Hockey surfaces in the country. To match this top class facility, a high-quality smart lighting solution was needed. Smart Lighting Solution BEKA Schréder supplied the wireless sports lighting control solution and OMNIBLAST-2-E MAXI floodlights for this prestigious project. This floodlight was chosen because it meets International Hockey Federation (FIH) specifications. Incorporated with Schréder ITERRA, a complete user- and installer-friendly wireless control solution for sports lighting applications, site managers have a robust, cost-effective and

futureproof platform to run their infrastructure with the utmost flexibility for adapting the lighting to any scenario or event while maximising energy savings and providing the best experience for players and fans. This system can now be expanded throughout the rest of their school. A mobile App-based system, Schréder ITERRA is straightforward to operate and can be controlled remotely through a GATEWAY device. It comes with an intuitive visual interface that can be quickly personalised to the client’s needs, giving them complete control of their lighting installation.
