Ekana Cricket Stadium: A Gleaming Heritage

Discover how Lighting Technologies India transformed Ekana Cricket Stadium with innovative LED Sports Lighting solutions
The Ekana Cricket Stadium, formerly known as the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium (BRSABV), is situated in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. Renamed in honor of the former Prime Minister of India, Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee, this iconic venue seats 50,000 spectators and is famed for its longest straight boundaries. The arena has been the venue for esteemed matches such as the IPL 2023 and the ICC World Cup 2023, and it has been designated to host matches for the upcoming 17th season of the TATA IPL 2024, organized by the BCCI, which begins on March 22, 2024. The stadium experience is enhanced by exciting cricket matches and advanced lighting. Lighting Technologies India (LT) undertook the significant task of modernizing lighting at BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium.

Lighting Technologies India (LT): Leading with Innovation
Lighting Technologies India (LT) is a multinational company renowned for its expertise in designing and manufacturing LED lights. The design and management of lighting for a cricket field pose considerable challenges. Let's delve into how Lighting Technologies India tackles these challenges and considerations regarding Sport Lights at Ekana Cricket Stadium.

Uniform Illumination: Shedding Light on Precision
Recognizing the importance of uniform illumination in enhancing gameplay and visibility, LT installed Sports floodlight fixtures with six high masts on a towering height of 78 meters. This strategic placement ensures exceptional uniformity, meeting the stringent Lux levels required for International HD Telecasts.

Excluding Glare and Shadows: Precision at Play
Glare disrupts players' tracking of fast-moving objects and discomforts spectators watching the game. To mitigate glare and eliminate shadows, LT incorporated Special PC Lens Optics with precise distribution. This meticulous design ensures optimal visibility for players, enhancing their performance on the field.

🌈 Color Rendering Index (CRI) Awareness: Crafting a Lively View
With a keen focus on color accuracy, LT's Sport floodlights featured an impressive Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 90, ensuring precise color representation. This meticulous attention to detail enhances the players' ability to discern the ball's trajectory with unparalleled clarity.

Dynamic LED Effects: Dramatic Presentations
The project employed state-of-the-art DMX controllers for the LED light engine, creating "Dynamic LED." Operators can adjust scenes, intensity, and patterns at any time with a single touch. Dynamic high mast systems improve visibility, focus on the game, create engaging visual effects, and optimize energy efficiency for various stadium activities.

Heat Management: Keeping Cool Under Pressure
LT's LED Sports Lights are engineered to produce minimal heat, thanks to their advanced natural airflow cooling technique. This ensures optimal thermal management, enhancing the longevity and efficiency of the lighting system.

Ensuring Stable Lighting: Steadiness in Motion
Recognizing the detrimental effects of light flicker on player concentration, LT's LED system boasts flicker-free performance. This seamless operation ensured uninterrupted gameplay, allowing players to maintain their focus without distraction.

🌿 Energy Efficiency Challenge: Sustainability in Action
Driven by a commitment to sustainability, LT's energy-efficient LED Sport floodlights significantly reduced energy consumption for Ekana Cricket Stadium. This eco-conscious approach not only lowered operational costs but also minimized the stadium's carbon footprint, paving the way for a greener future.

🛠️ Maintenance and Lifespan Consideration: Built to Last
Prioritizing reliability and longevity, LT's Sport floodlights are designed with high-quality corrosion-resistant special powder coating housing. Alongside IP66 and IK08 ratings, and efficient drivers equipped with essential safety protections, these fixtures ensured unparallel durability and performance.

Installation Obstacles: Precision in Practice
Ensuring precise positioning and safety during installation is paramount, and LT's sports lights are designed with this in mind. With easy-to-position fixtures and optimal beam angles, installation became a seamless process, guaranteeing the desired Lux levels on the ground.

Conclusion: A Bright Future Awaits
The city of Lucknow rejoiced, knowing that its beloved Ekana Cricket stadium stood as a beacon of hope and inspiration for generations to come. High above, on the towering masts, the sports fixtures stood as a tribute to the Lighting Technologies India team's enduring spirit, eternally lighting up the skies with their brilliance by completing this project in LIGHTNING SPEED before the World Cup 2023
