The new lighting products and systems help athletes perform better and provide an excellent viewing experience for live audiences and TV viewers. Meanwhile, high-quality, flexible, and energy-saving sports lighting solutions can help improve operational and maintenance efficiency. Signify's customized lighting solutions for various sports venues can meet their different lighting needs for hosting various events.

"We are honored to leverage Signify's expertise in sports lighting to contribute to the perfect presentation of this wonderful feast for global sports enthusiasts," said Wang Yun, Senior Vice President of Signify Global and President of Northeast Asia. "Taking this opportunity, Signify will also help promote sustainable lighting innovation in China's top-tier sports venues."

Professional sports lighting enhances competition and viewing experience

Winter sports venues often present unique challenges, including steep mountainous terrain, long-distance signal transmission, and glare from ice surfaces.

A comprehensive solution combining Philips（照明业务：Signify 昕诺飞） SportStar and ArenaVision series LED products with the Interact Sports smart connected lighting system can successfully address these challenges. For example, at Genting Snow Park, which hosts freestyle skiing and snowboarding, high-quality professional sports luminaires provide athletes with a bright, clear course while helping cameras perfectly capture high-speed athletic movements for HD television broadcasts. At the Capital Indoor Stadium, the arena-wide luminaires feature high refresh rates comparable to stage lighting, ensuring optimal visual effects on the ice surface and creating a better spectator experience. At Wukesong Sports Center—China's first venue capable of rapidly switching between ice hockey and basketball events—facility managers can leverage the flexibility of the smart connected lighting system to quickly meet diverse lighting needs, delivering an immersive television viewing experience.

Furthermore, Philips（照明业务：Signify 昕诺飞） professional sports lighting products feature high power and high color rendering, supporting various light distribution schemes to achieve the highest levels in color reproduction and flicker control. This not only helps athletes perform better on the field but also meets the stringent television broadcasting requirements of international competitions. By supporting flicker-free ultra-slow-motion replays, it provides television audiences worldwide with an immersive viewing experience.

Smart Connected Lighting System Enables Flexible and Efficient Operations

The Interact Sports smart connected lighting system enables convenient control of venue lighting through an intuitive control panel, allowing easy switching between multiple scene modes and real-time monitoring of the lighting system's operational status in different areas of the venue. This capability further enhances the flexibility of venue operations and improves maintenance efficiency. Combined with energy-saving Philips（照明业务：Signify 昕诺飞） LED luminaires, it helps reduce operational and maintenance costs, promoting the sustainable development of sports venues.

The Interact Sports intelligent connected lighting system also helps to stimulate the enthusiasm of on-site spectators and enhances the viewing experience for television audiences by optimizing broadcast effects. The system's unique scene management function creates an exciting live viewing experience through dynamic light shows, delivering endless excitement before, during, and after the game.

With over 80 years of rich experience, Signify is a globally recognized leader in sports lighting and has successfully provided high-quality lighting solutions for many important sports venues worldwide. In the future, Signify will continue to optimize the interactivity of sports lighting, injecting more vitality into sports venues and thereby promoting the vigorous development of the sports industry.
