With the Highest Ceiling Among Domestic Indoor Practice Facilities

SK Supex Dome in SK Futures Park

This project is a case study of the installation of MAHA 400W floodlight products at the Supex Dome, an indoor practice facility within SK Futures Park, located in Gilsang-myeon, Ganghwa-gun, Incheon.

SK Futures Park held its official groundbreaking ceremony for civil engineering works on April 8, 2013, and celebrated its opening ceremony two years later on April 1, 2015, where 66 units of 1kW metal halide lights from Company M were installed at the Supex Dome indoor practice facility. However, the client wanted to achieve a superior energy saving rate, and just one year and three months after its opening, in July 2015, the existing metal halide lighting was decisively replaced with GigaTera's LED floodlight, the MAHA product.

This is an indoor practice facility installation case that was able to achieve great satisfaction from the client by realizing not only excellent illuminance but also the outstanding uniformity characteristic of the MAHA product. Additionally, the Supex Dome, where this installation took place, is known to have the highest ceiling among indoor practice facilities in the country.

One of the most important client requests in carrying out this project was to set the highest illuminance in the area between home plate and third base, as this is where the players conduct a lot of their batting practice. With the previous metal halide lighting, the light was not focused in one area but was split between the walls and the floor. However, the asymmetrical MAHA floodlight could focus the light on the desired floor area, achieving a brightness of over 1,000 lux, which produced results more than sufficient to satisfy the client.

This was possible because the MAHA product's excellent cutoff technology allowed for the light to be focused only on the desired space. The light projected from four directions was precisely aimed for each zone based on simulations, and the maximum illuminance measured after installation was 1,236 lux.
Impact and Value
• Precise zonal illumination with cutoff technology
• Achieved a 60% energy saving rate compared to previous lighting
• Minimized glare with an asymmetrical design
• Easy aiming with a bracket that allows for rotation and tilt
• Instant on/off of the lighting
