Enhanced Lighting for Liverpool Aquatics Centre

The Liverpool Aquatics Centre, a premier swimming facility, required a lighting upgrade to improve visibility, energy efficiency, and maintenance costs. The previous lighting system suffered from frequent failures, leading to increased operational costs and safety concerns. The goal was to install a durable, high-performance lighting solution that ensures uniform illumination while reducing energy consumption.
Thorn Lighting provided an advanced solution with Areaflood Pro floodlights, specifically designed for humid and chlorine-rich environments. These luminaires feature an IP66 rating, ensuring resistance to corrosion and moisture.
