Solander Oval, Sydney (AUS)
ewo equipped the Solander Oval sports facility in a suburb of Sydney with efficient lighting using R–System floodlights, completely free of stray light and glare.
Versatile floodlights for multi-purpose facilities
This project is one of a growing number in Australia, as ewo’s R–System increases its presence in well-used sports venues.
Featuring lighting design from Rubidium Light, 36 floodlights are now used to illuminate Solander Oval’s multipurpose sports field, utilizing full horizontal cut off luminaires installed at 0° uplift so reducing spill light and glare.
The directionality of the illumination was achieved using ewo’s A–Series Asymmetric High Forward throw lenses, utilizing both left and right-shining directional lens varieties, to make best use of the positioning of each pole on the field. Full control over the illumination was given to the client with DALI drivers.

A test for the R–System
The following is the comment of Rubidium Light lighting designers: “As specialist lighting designers, lighting outcomes and the quality of the products we use are of upmost importance.
This is one of a number of sites delivered for Sutherland Shire Council in NSW, including a total of four separate locations, each involving a separate test for the versatility of the ewo R–System, as it continues to excel in the field of sports.
“Finally we have a sports lighting product that can deliver glare and obtrusive light control while still providing the benefits of an LED source.
