The various areas of a golf course place specific demands on lighting. While uniform and pleasant illumination is crucial on the playing surfaces, it is also important to minimize unwanted stray light into the surrounding area as much as possible. At the Golfclub Frühling, modern COB LED technology from SmartArena with a color temperature of 3,000 K is used for this purpose.

COB LED technology enables uniform light distribution and precise light control. When combined with SmartArena’s Direct-Light-Control (DLC) shading system, the light is directed specifically toward the areas where it is needed. This minimizes unwanted light emissions into the surrounding area.

 
Smart control for demand-based operation

In addition to light quality, another key focus of the project was on a flexible yet easy-to-use control system for the lighting installation. The system utilizes DALI wireless controls, as well as various basicDIM Wireless solutions from Tridonic. This allows the different illuminated areas to be controlled precisely and operated according to their specific use.

The intelligent lighting control system simplifies the daily operation of the system and ensures that lighting is used only where it is actually needed and at the appropriate intensity. Together with energy-efficient LED technology, this contributes to significant electricity savings and, consequently, to a sustainable reduction in ongoing operating costs.

 
LED technology for the parking area as well

As part of the project, it wasn’t just the lighting at the golf course itself that was modernized. The parking area also received new LED lighting featuring fixtures from Ecoworld LCL. This expanded the lighting concept beyond the playing areas and converted this area as well to modern, energy-efficient LED technology.

Both the SmartArena LED floodlight solutions and the Ecoworld LCL luminaires used in the project are manufactured in Styria. The project thus combines modern lighting and control technology with regional manufacturing in Austria.

 
The result is a lighting solution that combines pleasant lighting conditions for golfers, precise light control, and significantly simplified operation. At the same time, the energy-efficient COB LED technology and demand-based control ensure significantly reduced energy consumption and lower ongoing operating costs.

Protecting the surrounding residential areas also played a key role in the modernization. For this reason, the floodlight system was equipped with SmartArena’s DLC (Direct-Light-Control) shading system. This directs the light specifically onto the playing field and minimizes stray light and light pollution outside the sports field.

 
A particular challenge arose during the installation work: One of the existing floodlight poles is also used by a mobile network provider. The radio equipment therefore had to be temporarily taken out of service for the work. Kevin Beck of Montron GmbH summarizes:

“Since one of the masts is also used as a transmission mast by a mobile network operator, we had to carry out the work in accordance with the C413 guideline for activities near radio equipment. This required a temporary shutdown of the transmitter. Coordination proved to be challenging because the mobile network provider required a two-week lead time – since no alternative pole was available near the border – and local residents had to be informed in advance about the reduced signal coverage. Thanks to the excellent cooperation of all project participants, the work was nevertheless completed on schedule and safely.”

With the new floodlight system, SC Oberpullendorf now has a sustainable and cost-effective lighting solution that combines modern COB LED technology, intelligent lighting control, and precise light distribution, thereby creating optimal conditions for training.
