Thorn chosen for stadium in Turkey
Seating 52,650 people, the Türk Telekom Arena in Istanbul is one of the finest multi-purpose stadiums in Turkey. It is the new home ground for soccer club Galatasaray S.K., replacing the old Ali Sami Yen Stadium. The games, which cover a range of competition levels, are televised in HD and also need to fully satisfy UEFA criteria for hosting the European Football Championship in 2016.
The solution lay therefore in providing high quality white light as well as achieving strict lighting control. The choice fell on the Mundial R floodlight with 2kW metal halide lamp. Nearly 350 projectors provide ideal colour TV coverage (1400 lux for the camera at pitch level); they also provide excellent spectator – and player viewing. Four switching levels operate: international (100%), national (50%), training (25%) and maintenance via 12 separate Mundial C units.
Main contractor for the scheme was VARYAP, with local partner Kitoko Aydinlatma & Muhendislik representing Thorn. The project took 18 months to complete with the opening, on 15th January 2011, marked by a friendly match against Dutch club Ajax Amsterdam.
