For the opening and closing ceremonies of the Guangzhou Asian Games, OSRAM Opto Semiconductors’ OSLON SSL LEDs were chosen to light up the exterior of the newly constructed half-stadium in Haixinsha Square. The LEDs highlight the gill-like side openings of the half-stadium, flanked by the city’s UFO-like opera house and the latticed Guangzhou TV Tower.
Oslon SSL amber/green/blue LEDs and warm-white LEDs are used in separate floodlights to provide various color combinations for the architectural lighting. Each floodlight was equipped with four independent sections of display pixels and color adjustments. Together with real-time video control system, different colors match the requirements of the various opening ceremony programs. Roughly 200,000 LEDs are used in 3,200 floodlights in the project.
OSRAM’s Oslon SSL series is a family of compact and symmetrical LEDs with a high efficiency of up to 84 lm/W at an operating current of 350mA and a viewing angle of 80° or 150°. The Asian Games, to be held from November 12th to 27th, will have 11,700 athletes from 45 nations competing in 42 sports. The opening ceremony will be broadcast live to countries in Asia and beyond. It will be the best stage to prove the strengths of LED architectural lighting.
