The Olimpica Tennis sports facility in Rezzato chooses Gewiss lighting to illuminate five of its tennis courts. The centre has always been a reference point for sporty types in Brescia, and boasts a total of eight tennis courts, with four outdoor and four indoor courts with Play-It surfaces, a 5-aside indoor football pitch and an 18-hole minigolf course.

For the managers of the centre, the well-being of their users has always been the absolute priority. In this regard, the lighting of the court is crucial for the physical and psychological well-being of players, and as such, has a decisive effect on training and sporting performance. Accordingly, Olimpica Tennis has turned to Gewiss technology in order to meet the needs of its customers.

Indeed, a total of 40 Smart [4] 5+5L devices now illuminate 6 of the courts at the centre, the 4 outdoor courts plus one which is equipped with an inflatable cover spanning a width of 80 square metres, with surface area of 4,000 square metres in total. In addition to a clear improvement in visual comfort compared to the previous 400W floodlights, innovative Smart [4] LED technology also ensures complete safety for all athletes training at the centre.

In fact, with DIN 18031-3 certification, Smart [4] is the only technological solution that is perfectly suited to installation in gyms and sports centres. All versions of Smart [4] with bracket - LB | HB and FL - can now be surface and ceiling-mounted, thanks to the mechanical structure of the product which guarantees an IK08 degree of protection (index of resistance to impact). Furthermore, the fixing and connection systems were proven to ensure complete safety and functionality at the end of the test (36 standardised ball impacts at a speed of around 60km/h).

In addition to offering guaranteed safety, Smart [4] technology is also synonymous with energy savings. Following the installation of the Gewiss appliances, a reduction in the peak power used for each court was seen, dropping from 3.44 kW to 1.1 kW, resulting in an estimated decrease in consumption of 68%.

Massimo Ogna , manager and owner of the Olimpica Tennis sports facility, along with his father Angelo Ogna, comments on the choice: ' We are very pleased with the performance of our Gewiss Smart [4] devices. The difference compared to the previous lighting system is really clear: the light provided is much more uniform, and the improved visual comfort contributes to better tennis performance, whilst safeguarding the overall safety of our athletes '.

Aldo Bigatti, sales director for Gewiss Lighting, makes the following statement: ' We are very honoured and proud to have been chosen as a partner in technology by Olimpica Tennis; for us, the sporting sector represents a key area of opportunity, thanks to the safety and comfort that our technology offers '.
