WIRELESS LIGHTING SYSTEM & PLAYER ACCESS CONTROL FOR M3 PADEL ACADEMY

December 17, 2024  | Leganés, Madrid

Requirement

M3 Padel Academy opened the “M3 Padel Center” in Leganés, Madrid, Spain. This 6,400-square-metre facility has 20 indoor and 2 outdoor courts. Planet Power, in charge of lighting, partnered with Hytronik. The project needed a lighting solution to ensure efficient control (as the old system had impractical manual switching), provide visual comfort (legacy luminaires couldn’t offer uniform lighting for professional padel), reduce energy consumption (for sustainability without sacrificing game quality), and enable future integrations (connect with the booking system to auto – activate lights based on reservations).

The Solution

Centralized control via the Koolmesh app:

Manage lighting levels, schedules, and customise scenes remotely from any device.

Simplified operations management with the ability to quickly adjust to the specific needs of an event or club.

Future-proof integration features:

Designed to connect with club booking systems to automatically activate lights based on bookings.

  • Improves operational efficiency while optimising facility usage for a seamless user experience.Hytronik installed the Intelligent Lighting System in Planet Power’s LED luminaires.
  • Across all 22 courts, DALI/Bluetooth converter integration: enables fixtures to connect, allowing remote on/off and brightness control via the Koolmesh app or manual switching. Enabling pitch specific lighting customization for better lighting and visual comfort.
  • Real-time synchronized Bluetooth repeaters on all 22 pitches: maintains a stable control network, synchronizes schedules and eliminates signal dead zones in the event of power outages. Ensures continuous light operation and wider control range.

The Results:

For the property owners and administrators:

  • Significant energy savings through automation, reducing operational costs.
  • Intuitive control via the Koolmesh app, saving time and minimising errors.
  • A future-ready system capable of incorporating additional features without major investments.

For the players:

  • Enhanced gameplay experience with uniform, glare-free lighting, ideal for focusing on their performance.
  • Personalised ambiance by adjusting light levels for training sessions, matches, or special events.

For Planet Power:

  • Increased perceived value of their luminaires through Hytronik’s advanced technology.
  • A control solution that ensured visual comfort and energy efficiency, strengthening their market position
