  • Lighting system for a stadium
    Patent number: 9924578
    Abstract: A light system for a stadium, the light system comprising: at least one sensor configured to determine light intensity values for multiple locations within the stadium; at least one electronically controllable luminaire configured to generate light directed towards at least one location of the multiple locations within the stadium based on a received control parameter; a controller configured to receive the light intensity values from the at least one sensor, further configured to determine a light intensity difference based on the light intensity values from the multiple locations within the stadium, and configured to select the at least one electronically controllable luminaire and generate the control parameter for the least one electronically controllable luminaire based on the light intensity difference to attempt to reduce the light intensity difference.
