First Horsetrack in the World
to Replace the Lights with LED
Mombetsu
Horse Track
[Mombetsu Horse Track]
The newest of the horse tracks in Japan opened in December
1997. 1.5 billion yen were invested to repair the Mombetsu training center at the horse track in Hokkaido by investing 1.5 billion
Japanese Yen.
Whenever races are being held, including during the winter/
summer seasons, it is used for sleigh horse racing or off-track betting (excluding Mombetsu off-track betting). Even before that,
whenever there was a Hokkaido horse race outside of Momketsu
horse racing, the Mombetsu horse track has operated as a venue for off-track betting. In addition, it also started service as an
off-tracking betting venue of the Japan Racing Association’s (JRA)
starting from March 23rd, 2013.
Summary
“First Horsetrack in the World to Replace the Lights with LED” Situated in Hokkaido, Japan,
the lighting at the Monbetsu Horsetrack was replaced with GigaTera LED lighting. This
project led by the Japan Branch was a major achievement as the deal was landed after
competition with other leading Japanese lighting companies. The client also was very
pleased with the improved uniformity luminance, and outstanding color rendering.
An expansion was planned for the Mombetsu Horsetrack for an inner course intended for
race horses under two years old. The inner course would require lighting, but the outer
course already had lighting installed. That is why a new lighting system altogether would
be required. At first it was proposed to just install additional lighting for the inner course,
but ultimately the 595 units of 2kW and 1.5kW mercury lamps installed in the outer course
were also replaced in the project. First it was suggested that the 595 units of the existing
lighting of the outer course be replaced at a 1:1 ratio, but in and around the inner course
10 poles be newly added to accommodate the additional 200 lighting units that were suggested resulting in an overall proposal of 795 lighting units. Accordingly, the GigaTera Japan
Branch suggested reducing the existing number of lighting units for the outer course by
190 units to 405 units. For the inner course it was suggested that just 3 poles be installed for
75 units of lighting, resulting in the installation of a total of 480 lighting units.
The reason the Gigatera Japan Branch was able to win this order was because there was
an issue of lighting quantity as well as the 400V voltage pressure standard not satisfied
by other companies, and the Gigatera Japanese branch suggested the wireless control
of ‘GeSS-Air’ in contrast with the other company suggesting wire controls and was able
position itself in an advantageous position. In other words, from a standpoint of quantity of
lighting and control systems Gigatera’s low-cost and competitiveness was favorable from
the point of view of the customer and therefore this became a big reason for obtaining the
contract.
When installing horse track lighting, it is crucial that uniform luminance be secured because
if there are any shadow areas on the track this could potentially scare the horses and
likewise affect their athletic performance. Regarding these issues, the Japanese branch has
introduced the installation case studies of Yankees’ Stadium and Mariners’ Stadium, and
after showing the Yankees’ stadium video, it was determined that with the new installation
there would be no issue with uniformity luminance. In particular, it was possible for SUFA-A
which was installed at the Mombetsu horse track to be set to two aiming points due to its
module system of top and bottom separation that used a method of tilting. This resulted in
outstanding uniformity.
Before
After
Project
There were 535 Gigatera lighting units installed on the Mombetsu horse track’s main
stadium, paddock, and corridors in this project. The installation details are as follows.
1) Basic lighting
: 461 of 2kW mercury lamps / 125 of 1.5kW mercury lamps / 9 of 2kW LED (*A total of
595 lighting units): a total consumption of electricity of 1,181,500W
2) Replacement of lightings (Main stadium)
: Main stadium – 480 of SUFA-A 1kW
: Total consumption of electrical power of 480,000W
: Energy saving rate of 59.4%
3) Replacement of lightings (paddock, corridors)
: Corridors – 12 of SUFA400W / 14 of SUFA-X 500W / 29 of MAHA 400W
In case of this project, installation was performed at temperatures of -20 degrees
Celsius and therefore there was some difficulty with the field-installments and since
there are 2 aiming points for the SUFA-A installation took longer than expected.
However, it was possible to aim accurately thanks to GPS aiming method introduced
by the Japanese branch and the outer course and inner courses’ lightings could be
installed in accordance with the simulation. Apart from these, realizing wireless controls by installing MAHA (Gigatera center spot lighting) around the paddock, the area
for showing horses, and the surrounding saddle preparation facilities, it was possible
perform the installation to meet the needs of various on-field requirements. Due to its
regional features of frequent foggy weather, there are an average 9 days where races
are called each year. To overcome this, lighting was replaced at a 3:1 ratio of 5000K and
3000K in color temperature lightings and allowed the stadium possible to overcome
weather difficulties when operating the horse racing stadium.
A “hotkey” system that was applied to this project allowed the lighting to be changed
in accordance with the different situations just by pressing a hotkey button. This also
allowed the stadium to mix the color temperature in accordance with the weather to
realize the best lighting. The number of visitors that came because of the new lighting
system installed in the horse track stadium has increased and also increasing profit
business of the horse track and velodrome due to nighttime operation. Especially, people who enjoy watching the broadcast online liked it because of the improvements in
the footage and a lot of requests have been coming in about the horse racing stadium, velodrome, and therefore is looking forward to increased business in the future.
Benefits
- Energy reduction of more than 1.5 times compared to existing lighting
- Energy reduction of more than 59.4% compared to existing lighting
- Realization of outstanding uniformity
(brighting once dark areas along the course of the racetrack)
- The color rendering allows for the smooth relay of the announcers
at the racetrack.
