SUCCESS STORY: HOW PADELBOX BERMONDSEY OPTIMISED ITS LED LIGHTING CONTROL SYSTEM

Hytronik, in collaboration with Low Energy Designs, contributed to the lighting of the courts at the new PadelBox Bermondsey club in London, providing a control system to optimise energy efficiency and enhance the player experience.

THE CHALLENGE

The newly built PadelBox Bermondsey club required a lighting system that met the following criteria:

• Optimal court visibility: Ensuring adequate light levels for both professional and amateur padel players.

• Energy consumption optimisation: Implementing a control system to efficiently manage lighting usage and make the most of available natural light.

• Simplified management: Providing club administrators with an intuitive lighting control system via an app and local switches.

• Flexible lighting operation: Allowing dynamic adjustments to suit different match and training requirements.

THE SOLUTION

To meet these challenges, the following technological solution was implemented:

1. Bluetooth control: Bluetooth repeaters were installed on each court, creating a stable network for precise lighting management. This ensures real-time synchronisation and maintains system continuity even during power outages.

2. Advanced LED luminaires: New LED luminaires from Low Energy Designs were equipped with Hytronik Bluetooth controllers, allowing precise brightness regulation and on/off functionality based on usage conditions.

3. Wireless self-powered switches: EnOcean-based switches, requiring no wiring or batteries, were installed to allow quick manual control without relying on a centralised system.

4. Management via the Koolmesh app: Court lighting is managed through the Koolmesh app, enabling staff and players to:

o Select pre-configured lighting scenes, such as training or competition modes.

o Adjust brightness levels according to schedules and playing conditions.

o Automate lighting shut-off to prevent unnecessary energy consumption.

RESULTS & BENEFITS

The implementation of Hytronik’s lighting control system at PadelBox Bermondsey has delivered significant benefits:

• Enhanced player experience: Optimised lighting ensures perfect visibility on the court, reducing glare and minimising eye strain.

• Energy consumption optimisation: Efficient lighting management ensures responsible energy use and extends the lifespan of the LED luminaires.

• Improved operational efficiency: Club staff can easily manage lighting schedules and intensity levels via the Koolmesh app.

• Total flexibility: Wireless switches allow for quick manual adjustments, adapting lighting to different game scenarios.

• Sustainability commitment: Energy optimisation supports the club’s commitment to efficiency and reducing its carbon footprint. By combining advanced LED lighting with Hytronik’s control system, PadelBox Bermondsey sets a new standard in sustainability and technology for padel sports facilities.
