★ IESNA Class III to major stadia where premium quality
★★
lighting and excellent glare control is required.
★★
★ Medium to large indoor arenas.
★★
★★
★ Large stadia and arenas where color TV recording and

broadcasting will be common, and excellent color rendering
and high vertical plane illumination is required.
★★
★ Sports fields and arenas where optional instant hot restart is
★★
desired in case of momentary power interruption or large
line dips. This feature can be critical when TV recording and
broadcasting is taking place and revenues
may be at risk if there is a short duration
power loss that could cause an 8 to 12 minute
fixture blackout.

★ Facilities requiring instant off/on capability
★★
for dramatic theatrical lighting choices.

★ Other general floodlighting applications

where premium lighting is required from a

System Features
Advanced Metal Halide Lamp—The Ultra
takes advantage of metal halide lamp technology, proven by
decades of use in all types of lighting applications. It uses an
advanced generation of lamps specifically designed for use in
sports lighting. Offered in a choice of 2000, 1500 or 1000 watts,
these white light sources feature a double-ended design without
an outer bulb, and provide an average rated life of 3000, 6000
and 10,000 hours, respectively. A standard mogul-base 1500W
metal halide lamp has an average rated life of 3000 hours.
These advanced lamps also provide excellent color rendering
with a 4000 degree Kelvin color temperature.

featuring a special high reflectance coating for a mirror like
finish and 95% visible light reflectivity. The Front/Secondary
reflector is spun from high quality specular aluminum and has a
GE patented ALGLAS
This new lamp/reflector configuration produces a more
efficient and effective oval light distribution with very tight
vertical light control to minimize wasted light and maximize light
on the playing field.
