'Veltins Arena' platform roofing
To turn the roof into a nightly light signal, both lower booms of the steel frame have been fitted with Paratec floodlights with asymmetrical light distribution. Each side illuminates the opposite side panelled with semitransparent elements. The floodlights are fitted with HIT-DE 150W metal halide lamps for optimal energy efficiency and to ensure that the roof from afar appears as an evenly lit construction.
