CS121 Bridgestone Achieves Perfect Display on Ice

Case Study 20160208

The metal halide lighting solution weighed 29,500 lbs., which

has been reduced to 9,500 lbs. with the new LED system.

By eliminating over ten tons of weight from the roof beams,

the engineers are allowing for additional light and sound

equipment to be installed by these outside shows.

The sealed Arena Pro fixtures also require less frequent

cleaning than metal halides, which is an issue following events

such as Monster Jam truck shows. The cleaning process was

extensive with the show dirt having to be wiped off each

surface of the MH lamp housings and reflectors, and now

only requires a simple wipe down of the outer LED lens plate.

The Bridgestone Arena is also positioned to attract a greater

variety of shows now that it can accommodate instant on and

off of the lighting system, CCT changes and programmed light

schemes via DMX control.

The return on investment for the LED installation was 2.5

years including energy savings, maintenance savings and

state rebates. Electrical lighting load dropped from 415,000W

to 89,000W and energy consumption dropped from 1.1

million kilowatt hours to 200,000 kilowatt hours—a savings of

more than 80%. This savings is greater than the total annual

electrical consumption of over 85 homes and removes the

equivalent amount of greenhouse gases as 1.5 million miles

driven by an average car. All of this was accomplished while

significantly improving light quality, light levels and uniformity

on the playing surface.

Given all these benefits, the arena owners are very pleased

with the lighting upgrade. However, the most telling result

has been the comments from hockey fans, people who have

marveled at the light quality in the arena and claim they have

never seen a better show.
