Maximum energy consumption? Applies only to athletes.
Since the lighting renovation, the luminaires in the triple hall at the Gries Culture and Sports Centre in Volketswil only need a minimum of energy. No comparison to before. The 324 FL tubes literally devoured the electricity. That cost a lot of money. Not to mention the maintenance costs. The tubes on the 10-metre-high ceiling had to be replaced every six years on average. A lot of electrical waste was accumulating. Since the tubes were replaced with LED inserts, the energy and maintenance costs have been demonstrably reduced. The challenge of integrating the lighting control into the existing event technology was mastered. And the lighting quality? As if made for winners.

So that every occasion appears in the best light.
Admittedly, the planning and implementation was not a walk in the park.
A cultural and sports hall needs light for umpteen different situations. The small table tennis ball must be just as visible as the markings of a volleyball or handball court. In addition, the hall is used for events, which in turn require special technology. Linking the lighting with the event technology was a special challenge. We met it, found solutions and implemented them successfully.
»With this lighting refurbishment, we have taken a visionary path in terms of lighting and energy technology. The complex integration of the event technology was a real challenge, but nevalux AG took care of every detail with great commitment until the end.«René Geiger, Owner’s representative and head of technical property management, Volketswil
The next luminaire generation
Think about the future now, because all FL tubes will be banned from 1.9.2023. Intelligent LED alternatives are needed now.
Good for the environment
The energy savings are striking compared to FL tubes. The maintenance effort is zero.
Efficient and durable
The LED inserts are extremely durable (72,000 hours). The efficiency of over 160 lm/W is also a winning argument.
Submission of funding applications
We know all about funding opportunities and the general conditions. Leave your subsidy application to us.
At your side
No matter how complex the lighting control requirements are — you are in good hands with us.
Flexible lighting control
DALI-based sensors and luminaires can be integrated into any sensor-controlled lighting solution.
Tailored to the sport
Depending on the type of sport, hall lines must be particularly clearly visible. Corresponding light scenes can be programmed and called up.
Multifunctional halls
We support you in the lighting design of gymnasiums, which are also used for stage events with appropriate control.
Easy assembly
Thanks to a magnetic fastening, the LED luminaire inserts can be mounted easily and, above all, quickly.
Rapid installation
With the 230 V connection power, which is tapped with three or five wires depending on the dimming requirement, you install quickly and successfully.
Less scrap metal
Wherever possible, we use existing luminaire housings. In gymnasiums, the ball protection can also be taken over.
We care
The parameterisation of the lighting system is carried out by our specialists at the end of the installation work.
In action for the environment: the LED luminaire insert, narrow beam 40°.
Old T5 or T8 fluorescent tubes out, linear LED inserts in. So simple, because the LED luminaire insert fits into a wide variety of luminaire designs. With this minimal installation effort, you achieve maximum energy savings.
