From Match Lighting to Dynamic Venue Experiences

Modern sports venues are expected to support more than one lighting mode. The same luminaire platform may need to deliver high-quality white light for competition and broadcasting, dynamic color scenes for entertainment, and fast transitions for pre-game, halftime and post-event shows.

This creates a system-level design challenge: power, channel control, dimming response, broadcast performance and maintenance access must work together. A multi-channel driver provides a more coordinated way to manage these requirements within the luminaire architecture.

• Competition mode – stable, high-quality white illumination
• Show mode – independent RGB(W) channel control for color scenes
• Event effects – fast dimming and quick flashing for synchronized cues
• Broadcast mode – low-ripple output and smooth low-level dimming

Fast Effects Without Compromising Lighting Quality

Sports-lighting systems must respond quickly during entertainment sequences while maintaining stable illumination for cameras and spectators. uPowerTek’s multi-channel platform combines fast control response with low-ripple output and smooth dimming capabilities on applicable configurations.

Flash rate, dimming depth and broadcast performance should be verified with the selected model, LED load, control system and camera requirements.

Choose the Control Architecture for the Project

Different venue systems prioritize different types of control. Protocol support is selected by model and configuration, so the driver should be matched to the project control architecture before the final luminaire design is released.

Do not treat every protocol as a universal capability. Confirm the complete model suffix and latest datasheet.

Support Different Project Layouts and Configurations

Support Remote-Driver and Centralized Layouts

A high-voltage LED output can help reduce cable current and voltage drop, making remote-driver or centralized layouts possible for suitable projects. Driver location, conductor size, voltage drop, insulation, EMC and regulations require project-level validation.

Reduce SKU Complexity with Flexible Configurations

A configurable driver platform can help luminaire manufacturers cover more project combinations through model-dependent input, power, channel and control options.

• IP66 and IK08 enclosure protection
• Built-in surge protection up to 20kV on applicable models
• OTP, OVP and SCP protection functions
• External NTC protection support on selected configurations
• 100,000-hour lifetime and 7-year warranty at Tc <= 75 deg C, subject to applicable model and warranty terms

Certification, ingress protection, surge rating, lifetime and warranty statements must be confirmed by model and the latest approved documents.

Certifications for Global Projects

Selected TYK models are available with project-relevant certification packages. Confirm the latest certificate for the required model and sales region.
