Sheffield steel: Thorn Lighting has helped future tv crews while creating a lighting scheme for a new English Institute of Sport facility in Sheffield. The £24 million centre designed by architect Faulkner Brown includes a 200-m indoor running track and facilities for a wide range of sports from basketball and boxing to table tennis. The objective was to provide energy efficient lighting with even illumination suitable for players, spectators and tv cameras. Thorn Mundial 1 kW low glare floodlights are used in most sporting areas. These have metal halide lamps with luminaires symmetrically arranged on high-level trusses. The main contractor was Interserve, Haden Young was m&e contractor.
