SFP-RTS Sports Lighting System

Lead Designers Duk-Yong Kim

Entry Description

The SFP-RTS Sports Lighting System unifies professional match lighting and entertainment effects in a single sports lighting platform. Conventional stadiums rely on fixed floodlights for play and temporary truss systems for show lighting, increasing structural load and operational complexity. RTS eliminates this divide by integrating high-output white light, RGBW effects, and motorized tilt-steer mechanics within compact IP-66 rated luminaire housing and an industry-first moving bracket.

Through pre-programmed aiming presets, fixtures can be repositioned at the touch of a control command, allowing the venue to shift between lighting modes optimized to sport-specific lighting regulations. This adaptive aiming control maintains uniformity and target illumination levels while conforming to the distinct lighting zones required for different event formats in a single location.

The system delivers UEFA and FIFA-grade performance when in match mode, then transitions instantly into entertainment sequences with dynamic movement, color, and synchronized show effects triggered through the same control network. By embedding motion and entertainment capability directly into the sports lighting infrastructure, SFP-RTS enables a multi-identity venue without additional rigs, rental systems, or structural reinforcement.

Sustainability Approach

By integrating color lighting into the primary sports lighting platform, the SFP-RTS system removes the need for temporary rigs and rental truss lighting, cutting transport and setup emissions. The system boasts lightweight fixtures that embody a modular, reduced-material body. At Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas, and Borussia-Park stadium in Mönchengladbach, Germany, SFP-RTS sports lighting deployment prevented more than 30% use of auxiliary structure, reducing installation waste. At Papara Park in Türkiye, existing catwalk structures were reused in a circular upgrade and adaptive beam presets reduced non-competition energy use by limiting illumination to active zones only. Consolidating two lighting systems into one platform maximizes infrastructure efficiency and extends venue utility with lower carbon overhead.
