An empty school sports hall at dusk with a timber court, a basketball resting on the centre circle and four long, straight rows of slim Anura LED battens glowing high on the grey steel roof trusses.

Sports Hall lighting

The Sports Hall lit by tunable

Light for every game.

Built for the ball. Kind to the eye.

Anura battens high on the roof steel, rated IK08 and IP65, with glare held to UGR <19. Caretta outside on the walkway and down the change-room corridor, sealed to IP66.

Dawn at the school sports hall: the PE teacher, a smiling Aboriginal woman in a navy staff polo with a bag of basketballs over her shoulder and a coffee in her hand, walks onto the empty court under four rows of lit Anura battens while the clerestory windows glow peach.

06:45 · First light

The hall is open.

One switch, and every Anura batten on the roof steel comes up together, even from end to end, before the first bag of balls hits the court.

A Year 5 PE class in navy and gold sports uniforms plays bench ball in the bright hall: a girl leaps to catch a high red ball, two classmates cheer with their arms up, and the PE teacher laughs at the sideline under the rows of Anura battens.

09:10 · Year 5 PE

Eyes up, no glare.

Every catch means looking straight up. With glare held to UGR <19, the children see the ball against soft, even light, not a bright point.

Senior basketball training: a student with a high black ponytail follows through on a long shot as the orange ball flies high toward a row of Anura battens on the roof steel, while five teammates in navy bibs and their coach watch and clap.

11:40 · Senior basketball

Made to take a knock.

Sooner or later a long pass finds the roof. Anura is rated IK08 on the IK scale for impact resistance, in a sealed IP65 body.

The lunch bell. Then the rain.

A teacher on lunch duty in a navy rain jacket laughs with four Year 6 children under the school's covered walkway in heavy rain, a straight row of Caretta battens glowing on the underside of the walkway roof beside the hall's closed glass doors.

IP66

Bright under cover, rain or shine.

Sealed to IP66, Caretta lights the covered walkway through a downpour, so a wet lunchtime still gets outside.

A Year 6 class walks back from PE down the change-room corridor with kit bags over their shoulders, chatting and laughing behind their teacher in a navy staff polo, under a straight row of Caretta battens on the white ceiling.

13:40 · After PE

Tough where the kit bags swing.

Down the change-room corridor, Caretta is a vandalproof batten rated IK08, with glare held to UGR <19.

Selectable white

Choose the white for the hall.

Anura comes in three selectable whites, chosen for the hall rather than changed through the day. A crisp cool white suits exams and sport; a warmer white suits a hall that is often a theatre. Here is the hall set for tomorrow's exams in both.

The sports hall set for tomorrow's exams, rows of grey desks across the court in crisp cool white light from the Anura battens, a teacher placing an envelope on a desk while a colleague with a clipboard checks the rows. — 5700K, cool white

The same exam setup in warm white light from the Anura battens, the timber court and desks glowing golden. — 3000K, warm white

Selectable in 5700K, 4000K or 3000K.

Community badminton night in the school hall: six adults of different ages and backgrounds play doubles across a net, one lunging low and one laughing as she reaches a high shot, the white shuttlecock clear against the rows of Anura battens.

18:30 · Community night

The hall after hours.

Local clubs take the court in the evening. Low glare keeps a white shuttle easy to follow against the roof, from the first rally to the last.

Concert night at dusk: families find their seats in neat rows of chairs on the court, a father holding his young daughter's hand, a grandmother and a woman with flowers, while the music teacher talks with two students by the choir risers and piano under the rows of Anura battens.

19:00 · Concert night

From court to concert hall.

Chairs out, curtain open, families in. The same even light that runs the PE lessons fills every row, so nobody watches from a dark corner.

Families see a hall that is cared for. It reflects well on the school.

Children, teachers and parents all notice a well-lit hall.

Night at the empty, tidy sports hall: the smiling caretaker in a green work polo rests his hand on the switch panel by the wall, and the four rows of Anura battens go off, leaving the hall in darkness under a navy night sky.

21:00 · Lock-up

Lights off, doors locked.

The caretaker's last round: one switch by the door and every batten goes off together. On DALI-2, a late scene can also switch the hall off on a schedule if somebody forgets.

Control

One hall, many scenes.

Anura and Caretta both come in On/Off or DALI-2. On DALI-2, the hall can keep scenes for sport, exams, assemblies and concerts, the walkway can follow a timer through dark winter afternoons, and the whole building can switch off on a schedule. Or simply on and off.

How DALI-2 works

The school principal in a charcoal blazer and the facilities manager in a navy work shirt stand on the centre of the empty court, smiling up at the four rows of lit Anura battens, as he points toward the roof.

Friday · The facilities manager

Light that lasts the school years.

Every light here, in the hall and outside it, is rated for 50,000 hours and backed by a 5‑year warranty.
