As the hotel’s Astroturf tennis court’s floodlighting has
become outdated, Sir Richard Branson personally requested
that the old HID floodlights are replaced with LED floodlights.
BEKA Schréder supplied the OMNIstar-midi, a cost-effective and
efficient lighting solution to maximise energy and maintenance
cost savings. Furthermore, the gooseneck type pole was
successfully converted to a conventional floodlight bracket.
The OMNIstar-midi is the smaller sized floodlight in BEKA
Schréder’s OMNIstar family. The various optical solutions
make it a very versatile floodlight, ensuring the correct lighting
for the area to be illuminated. Various optical solutions are
available to achieve the highest energy savings and the most
economical lighting solution. In addition, because it has been
designed and manufactured in South Africa, it takes Africa’s
harsh environments and conditions into account, thereby
ensuring a long lifetime.
The OMNIstar-midi is impact-resistant, making it ideal for
this application. Furthermore, owing to LED technology, the
floodlights switch on or off instantly, eliminating the delay that
we experienced with traditional lamp technology.
BEKA Schréder locally develops and manufactures energy-
efficient LED lighting products, designed and suitable for
local conditions. We are very proud to be associated with
Mont Rochelle in providing a successful floodlighting solution
for this project.
