"This is a gig that has turned into an interesting science for us and a nightmare for our client," said Brandon. "Because it is in an ice rink with a special sports wooden floor covering, there is a major moisture / condensation problem making the play field very slippery.
"We were looking for an LED sports arena flood solution for this job that would not affect the temperature of the play field, would be the right flicker rate for HD cameras would save lots of power and would illuminate globe failure and maintenance over the next two weeks of constant use. We could not find a "confident" product in time to test so went the 2k fresnel route.
We beefed up the 2kw Selecon Arena Fresnels stock to 30 fixtures. After focusing, we added a few 1k Selecon Rama Fresnels to fix up dark spots, and at 80% intensity, the camera guys are happy.
