When it was inaugurated, on 18 May 1971, the Scandinavium arena in Gothenburg, Sweden, was the largest indoor facility in Northern
Europe. Throughout the course of its history, the arena hosted numerous international sports competitions, including several editions of
Ice Hockey and Handball World Championships, as well as other events, such as the famous 1984 Davis Cup final when Sweden won
against the United States.   The arena stands in central Gothenburg, Sweden's second largest city, and it is above all the home town of
the local ice hockey team, the Frölunda HC, which has won several Sweden Championships and two European Champions League cups.
The arena can seat 12000 spectators and is equipped to host handball matches and indoor horse jumping shows for the Sweden
International Horse Show, the most important equestrian event in Scandinavia.   The Scandinavium is also the venue of concerts and
music events, like the Eurovision Song Contest.   In the version dedicated to hosting shows, the facility can seat up to 14000 spectators.
Furthermore, the arena in Gothenburg has been the venue for important concerts held by great international stars such as the Rolling
Stones, Whitney Houston, Stevie Wonder and many others.   Given the many diverse events held at the Scandinavium, the stadium
decided to implement a new LED lighting system, made with the spotlights designed by Disano illuminazione.   To illuminate the arena for
hockey and other sports events, the designers chose Forum LED, the product made by Disano that encompasses the huge advantages of
LED light for large stadiums, designed with a modular structure for one, two or three LED modules and allow maximum energy efficiency
and flexibility.   In this case, designers installed up to 121 Forum LED lights with two modules, colour temperature of 5700 K and colour
rendering of Ra90.   The system emits the very high lighting quality required by televised shows, with horizontal lighting greater than 1300
lux towards fixed camera (uniformity min/max 0.5, min/avg 0.6). For all other directions lighting is greater than 900 lux.   For hockey
games, lighting parameters are even more outstanding, with a lighting of 2500 lux and a very high horizontal uniformity: min/max 0.6,
min/avg 0.8.   Another 28 Forum LED two-module floodlights, with a temperature of 5700 K and colour rendering of Ra90, were used for
the lighting of the stands.   Lastly, 18 Astro with a colour temperature of 3000K and high colour rendering of Ra90 will be used during
concerts, meetings and conferences.   The new lighting system is equipped with a control system with DMX protocol (Digital multiplex), the
popular digital system for the control of lights for shows. The system is controlled from a central console that allows setting different
lighting scenes and creating the right mood for any sporting and concert event. This is why all Disano spotlights are supplied with special
DMX drivers.
