The challenge

Powerplus Group, a contractor we’ve worked with many times before, had been contacted by Excel Tennis to upgrade its current lighting to an LED system. The existing system was 20 years old and the light quality was diming so much, because of lamps degrading and failing, it was significantly affecting play. Excel were fed up with the amount of time and money being spent to keep things running. They wanted to use this opportunity to make energy savings too.

There was a problem though. Excel needed everything up and running in an exceedingly short timeframe because it was due to erect its court winter bubbles.

So, Powerplus turned to us to help out.

Our solution

The upgrade was going to be a simple one for one replacement of its 2kW metal halide luminaires for LED ones.

The perfect choice to replace Excel’s halide lamps was our Modus R1200 as it had been tried and tested as a 2kW halide floodlight replacement for years. Its light weight and versatility have also made it the ‘go-to’ product for sports lighting.

With a wattage of just 1,200W, it was certainly going to help cut energy costs. As with all our products, the need for maintenance and the costs involved would be cut considerably also.

From order to installation we only had two weeks to get everything ready though. But that didn’t worry us. We simply ‘pulled out all the stops’ and used our fast-track delivery process to get things sorted – with time to spare.
