Location

Auckland, New Zealand

Scope

Dimmable-on-demand range lighting with an appropriate wildlife-friendly spectrum and controlled spill towards neighbouring homes.

The Challenge

Ellerslie Driving Range in Auckland, New Zealand, faced strict planning requirements. Light spill into nearby housing estates was not permitted, and local authorities were particularly concerned about wildlife preservation.

The range needed dimmable-on-demand lighting with an appropriate wildlife-friendly spectrum, while maintaining the illumination required for evening play.

Our Solution

The GALAXY 3TX-V1 was selected for its precise glare control and wireless dimming functions.

Lighting simulation plots prepared before installation showed an even distribution of light. The proposed performance was verified by independent consultants.

The Outcome

The completed lighting met the planning department’s requirements, allowing the range to resume normal evening opening hours while maintaining the illumination needed for play.

“The containment of light spill to the sides is very impressive!
Great to have a result after all of this…We really appreciate all of your help, input and expertise.

PS. Top Tracer was actually working at night with no lighting on, with the new generation camera’s.
Nonetheless, the light wash out on the hitting area really improves the customer experience.
You can see the ball in the air to about 135m”
