LIGHTING FOR SKI RUNS DIFFERS FROM OTHER SPORTS. SNOW GREATLY REFLECTS LIGHT AND SKI RUNS REQUIRE POWERFUL FLOODLIGHTS THAT CAN BE INSTALLED ON VERY HIGH POLES.
THE CHOICE AND NUMBER OF FLOODLIGHTS ARE CAREFULLY STUDIED TO PROVIDE THE VISUAL COMFORT YOU NEED.

Illuminance levels of a Ski Run :
There are no specific requirements for ski run lighting. However, a low average illuminance level of around 20 Lux is recommended. As snow greatly reflects light, the low illuminance will be increased to achieve optimum lighting while saving energy.
Furthermore, ski runs are located in natural environments that are home to wildlife. The floodlights must not disturb the fauna and flora, hence the low level of lighting.
Layout of luminaires on a Ski Run :
Based on our experience, the lighting fixtures are best installed on poles approximately 10m high, along one edge of the run. Poles on either side are not necessary, and a single pole per section of run provides sufficient lighting.
Narrow optics will be chosen to focus the light on the run and avoid casting light on mountain wildlife habitats which can be stressful for animals.
