Lighting sports
and entertainment facilities such as Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul,
Minnesota makes Venture Lighting a member of the major leagues.
The 650,000 sq. ft. Xcel Energy Center is home to the National Hockey
League’s Minnesota Wild, the 2004 NHL All-Star game and four
World Cup of Hockey games.
The NHL demands
quality lighting for televising games. This includes rendering players’
jerseys in true color and adequately lighting the ice rink and fans
in the arena’s first 30 rows. Venture Lighting’s MS 1000W/HOR/BT37/3K
lamps produce the necessary 125 fc of vertical illumination, high
color rendering and light quality. The lighting design called for
340 luminaires, but the Venture lamps’ light output helped
reduce that number to 280 luminaires.
"They’re
great lights," said Mark Anger, director of Facilities Development
for Minnesota Sports & Entertainment.
Venture lamps
also light the American Airlines Center, Conseco Fieldhouse, Pepsi
Center, Staples Center and First Union Arena.
