Only 12 Days to Go for World Championship!
Only a few days until World Championship in Muay Thai Boxing. On November 30th, 2019 Johann Mayer will go for world champion at Arena Nova, Wiener Neustadt. Today organizer Harald Fass invited press to present program and athletes of this amazing night.
NIGHT OF THE WARRIORS – November 30th, 2019 at Arena Nova Wiener Neustadt. SMART ARENA is supporting the sportsman Johann Mayer and will enlighten the boxing octagon with 18 floodlights embedded in a genius light show. Come and see!
New Lighting Records Scored by soft-LED: Ultra Narrow 6° Beam Angle and 70.000 Lumen
Max 15° beam angle – that’s it. There is no way to focus light in a more narrow beam angle by using common lenses. If metal halide lamps with narrow beam reflectors shall be replaced by LED floodlights, you are approaching a problem. Technical limits prevent lighting designers from using LED floodlights for long distance beams and high vertical illuminance.
SMART ARENA exceeds all technical limits with combining LED high performance CoBs and proven reflector technique.
Lighting engineers will be filled with wonder when hearing about the recent results measured at lighting lab: The ultra narrow optic of new PETA series floodlight only has a 6° beam angle reaching 70.000 Lumen!
Yes, you got it right! These results outclass any other product in the market many times.
And – it opens very interesting opportunities: Real retro-fit solutions for all 4 mast soccer sites will become close to reality. Game Changing Lighting – that’s the way we do it!
SMART ARENA enlights stage of teriffic Brucknersaal
Brilliant acoustics, pathbreaking architecture, elegant atmosphere and SMART ARENA!
This teriffic setting now can be enjoyed in the impressive Grand Hall of the Brucknerhaus in Linz, Austria.
SMART ARENA enlights the stage for the orcherstra. 10 SMART ARENA HIGH END embosom the impressive stage with perfect warmwhite light with a colour temperature of 3000 Kelvin. The floodlights are controlled via DMX and can be dimmed completely flickerfree. An excellent Color Rendering Index (Ra) of 95 and a very good TLCI of 95 fulfill also sophistic demands of modern TV-technology.
To create best lighting conditions for the 200 m² stage in front of the new gorgeous organ 25° reflectors were chosen, complemented by light shades.
Also ecological balance is quite attractive. Due to switching from halogene to LED-technology nowerdays only 4.000 Watt are needed instead of 24.000 Watt in old days.
10 years of warranty – can this be a serious promise?
It staretd to become more and more darkish in the the high bay warehouse of Nikitscher Metalwaren. The original 400 Watt Metal Halide Lamps are not on the market anymore. So new lamps have to be bought. For test purposes 20 China origniated LED-lamps were bought. But what a surprise: Whitin some months all 20 pieces broke down – 16 hours daily operation time was to much for chinese quality.
Now looking for an European high-quality producer Nikitscher found soft-LED and asked for 120 months – 10 years – warranty!
Can it be serious to offer 120 months warranty for a electronic device in countinuous operation?
Yes, it is serious. But you have to open your technical bag of tricks. The magic word is called “underdrive case”. “Underdrive case” means that only part of the power of LED and driver is used. In the case of Nikitscher only 200 Watt per beam spot are needed to reach the neccessary level of illuminance. The LED used shows a power rating of 500 Watt. This means that only 40% of the available wattage is used.
Lifetime is increased up to more than 100.000 hours: 120 months of warranty are a serious promise.
Shortly 105 SMART ARENAs will be delivered to Pinkafeld. And there is an extra advantage to be announced: Nikitscher saves per beam spot 200 Watt – this means all together 21.000 Watt. And this is the moment when the eyes of the cost control manager are sparkling with joy.
SMART ARENA benchmarks for outstanding uniformity of illuminance
The athlets of Stadium Mödling are already in training, well-lit by SMART ARENA floodlight. In accordance with our slogan “game-changing lighting” we are proud to announce a record:
The official photometry data were published testifying an outstanding uniformity of illuminance. No other stadium in Austria will outmatch Mödling in this respect! Even requirements for international divisions are fulfilled and medium standard for regional devision of illuminace 150 lux is surpassed.
Here are the results – put in a nutshell:
Due to this perfect set-up the athlets of SC Mödling und AFC SonicWall RANGERS will rush into a successful and delightful new sports season.
New generation SMART ARENA TERA 2.0 arrived on soccer field!
Strike on strike! After an intensive developping stage the new generation of LED-floodlights is ready for sale: SMART ARENA TERA 2.0! More compact, lighter, smaler. This brings a lot of advantages for operators of existing sports facilities concerning static and wind load.
First home of SMART ARENA TERA 2.0 will be sports ground Mödling, Austria.
The cover picture shows the first partly refurbished mast. The big, mighty and energyeating floodlights are out! Energy consumption of these floodlights, which were introduced in 1988, amounted to 80.000 Watt. The very elegant SMART ARENAS are satisfied with 20.000 Watt. We guess these numbers do not need any further comments.
Opening Night for SMART ARENA in Putzleinsdorf!
Opening Night! SMART ARENA light was turned on in Putzleinsdorf the first time for a local derby on 24 th, August. Putzleinsdorf was celebrating a 3:2 victory against Union Vorderweißenbach.

SMART ARENA and the Anaconda
How are SMART ARENA and the anaconda living in famous Vienna “Haus des Meeres” linked together?
The anaconda’s empire was newly refurbished last year. The 9 meter snake weighing 200 kilograms now lives in a top new terrarium. 2 SMART ARENA floodlights with 5700K were choosen for illumination.
Enjoy an anaconda puzzle picture and some impressions how the lighting was installed.
SMART ARENA used as Constant Light for Object Photography
Photo-artist Franz Baldauf gave a workshop to 14 young talented photographers from all parts of Austria. He showed them how to use LED-floodlight SMART ARENA as constant light for shooting pictures of marvelous oldtimers in his studio. “This light-setting is awsome!” he explains, “Constant light provides a wonderful soft indirect lighting with 5700 Kelvin in the studio. This allows you to achieve really great results!”

Some more imoressions from Putzleinsdorf and some specification concerning the uniformity ratio of SMART ARENA illuminance. Average illuminance scores with 230 Lux. The relation between average and maximum illuminace (g1) is specified with 0,85. The proportion between minimum and maximum level of illuminane (g2) is specified with 0,7.
Quite proud to announce this data.
