Horse

As the professional engineering construction unit for the track lighting of the National Sliding Centre, Horsay (002963) fully leveraged its advantages during project construction, actively implemented the concept of "Smart Winter Olympics, Green Winter Olympics," and promoted the application of technological achievements at the Winter Olympics.

Known as the "F1 circuit" of the ice and snow sports venues for this edition, the "Snow Dragon" will host bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton events during the Winter Olympics. Due to the stringent venue requirements, the "Snow Dragon" has become one of the newly built competition venues with the highest design difficulty, greatest construction challenges, and most complex construction techniques for the Beijing Winter Olympics. The Haurui team rose to the challenge, precisely overcoming multiple technical barriers in lighting engineering, and completed the project preparation, construction, and service support work to high standards and quality.

The light color quality of the dedicated lighting for bobsleigh and luge tracks plays a decisive role in the quality of the competition. Among these, glare energy and glare effects on the track are direct factors affecting athletes' performance. Haoersai has created an "anti-glare green lighting system" based on actual site conditions, adopting anti-glare luminaire structures to reduce glare through secondary light distribution. Meanwhile, adhering to the concept of "internal light for external use, ecological energy saving," it minimizes light pollution in the surrounding environment. In terms of track lighting control, all Haoersai luminaires use high-quality standard light sources with a color temperature of 5600K±100, a Color Rendering Index (CRI) of Ra≥90 and R9≥45, or HD CRI TLCI11 Qa≥85, and luminous efficacy greater than 90lm/W. The lighting is more uniform and transparent, flicker-free, resistant to low temperatures, and features uniform luminance, effectively preventing reflective glare from the ice surface and light spill. This not only provides a more comfortable competitive environment for athletes but also meets the broadcasting requirements of event cameras.

In addition, HORSER equipped the "Snow Dragon" with a smart lighting control system, adopting a mode that combines manual lighting management and automatic lighting management, enabling remote control through bus connections between distribution boxes and cabinets. The manual control system is installed in the video control room on the third floor of the finish area of the Bobsleigh and Luge Center and within the track distribution boxes, capable of forcibly starting various lighting modes and also used for emergency debugging and installation; the automatic control system is installed in the video control room on the third floor of the finish area of the Bobsleigh and Luge Center, controlling various modes through the intelligent system.

Horse Lighting stated that the company has undertaken numerous Winter Olympics venue projects, including the National Ski Jumping Center "Snow Ruyi", the National Sliding Center "Snow Dragon", the Shougang Big Air "Snow Feitian", the National Aquatics Center "Ice Cube", the National Speed Skating Oval "Ice Ribbon", the National Indoor Stadium, the National Ice Hockey Hall, the Chongli Genting Winter Olympics site, and the Main Media Center for the Winter Olympics.
