Even the most successful professional footballers have different levels of fitness at different times of the day. All performance-determining factors must therefore be considered, especially at top sporting level - not least the lighting. In football stadiums in particular, important rooms such as the players' dressing rooms are located indoors, where there is usually little daylight.

With this in mind, the reigning German champions Bayer 04 Leverkusen commissioned LEDVANCE as a long-term sustainability partner to equip the team changing room, the gym, the players' corridor and a meeting room in their home BayArena with biologically effective lighting. Human Centric Lighting (HCL) luminaires create an environment that exactly imitates the natural course of daylight - thanks to intelligent control and manually selectable light profiles.Accordingly, the rooms mentioned were equipped with 36 BIOLUX HCL panel luminaires, 16 BIOLUX HCL downlights and 60 metres of HCL LED strips. 

For the professionals at Bayer Leverkusen, the new lighting is a direct hit: BIOLUX HCL luminaires can promote well-being and performance. The LED panels and downlights also impress with the highest quality of light. With a colour rendering of CRI 90 and good glare reduction (UGR<19), they score points across the board. Lighting profiles that can be selected to suit the respective situation ensure a perfect lighting mood at all times: cool white light supports concentration before the game, while warm white light promotes relaxation after games. 

For Bayer 04 Leverkusen, LEDVANCE is equipping the team changing room, the gym and the players' corridor of the BayArena with HCL LED strips, downlights and panels that promote the performance and well-being of the professional footballers with optimum lighting quality and manually selectable lighting profiles. Depending on requirements, either a stimulating or relaxing lighting mood is created.
