Location

Situated in a verdant area adjacent to Tatsuminomori Seaside Park and Tatsuminomori Ryokudo Park, the Tokyo Tatsumi International Swimming Center was opened in 1993 aiming to help promote the wellbeing of the region's people, and also to support the development competitive sports in the area; as one of the central swimming facilities in the Tokyo area, the venue is equipped with a main pool, sub-pool and a diving pool, and with capacity for 5000 spectators (with temporary seating) it is one amongst the largest accredited swimming venues in the country.

Lighting improvement works carried out in March 2019 saw the existing lighting scheme upgraded to LED, with specialist LEDioc FLOOD DUELL for Indoor Pools 800W type floodlights illuminating the main pool in a scheme designed to provide a design illuminance of >1500ℓx at 1m above the pool surface, as per FINA (International Swimming Federation) criteria for competition standard.

In order to satisfy the requirement for the floodlights to be mounted on the same catwalk as the existing installation, in addition to needing to satisfy the demanding design specifications, a carefully planned combination of medium beam, wide beam, and super wide beam angle models of the floodlights was utilized in the creation of an optimal lighting environment that also makes significant contributions towards energy savings.
