Portugalete Sports Center

Recently, the installation of the exterior lighting of Portugalete sports center in the Basque Country has been finished. It occupies a space of 20.000 m2 dedicated to leisure, sport and culture.

Through the management of Commercial Susaeta the lighting project has developed with lights of Gropo MCI, more specifically, more than 500 Line Grazer 24V of 900mm in RGB has been installed. This type of fixture is ideal for wall washing and guarantees a uniform powerful light and, in addition, provides a high environmental protection grade (IP66) as well as impact resistance (IK10), which allows its application in exteriors.

To control the lighting application the communication protocol DMX512-A, often abbreviated as DMX (Digital Multiplex), was used. This protocol is used for installations RGB where you look for colour escalades, sweet or quick dynamics changes even multimedia contents if you have a big number of luminaires.

The finality of those systems is to allow generating different lighting scenes (programs), which can be activated in autonomic way by presence sensors, crepuscule ones, or by time sensors, through programmed events or by users with control keyboard or remote control, Smartphone’s, digital screens or wall-pushers simply.
