Air Structure Lighting System

One of the greatest costs for a sporting facility - whether it be air-supported or a conventional building - is the cost of the energy consumed by the lighting system. The lighting systems we install in our dome projects offer the maximum energy efficiency available without compromising the intensity of the illumination. Depending on the application, we offer both a hang light and a stand light system for your air-supported structure project.

Indirect Lighting System

Lighting fixtures

The Farley Group's lighting systems are custom designed to your requirements. Pre-wired tilt-type steel stands for easy mounting and de-mounting or hanging lights are available depending on the structure use. All units come complete with 1000 watt metal halide lamps, reflectors, guards, ballasts and twist-lock connectors. Light is reflected off the structure to provide an even, pleasant level of lighting for the required activity. Ask about our exclusive "remote" ballast system which eliminates any need to handle, store or trip over old conventional ballasts.

Remote Ballast Cabinet

To power each light, a ballast is required to harness the electricity in order to feed the appropriate amount of power to the light fixture. This is normally done by placing individual ballasts around the perimeter of the structure. With each ballast weighing about 40lbs, this creates a number of heavy, bulky obstacles, and for seasonal domes, an additional hassle when it comes to moving them at the end of the season.

To address this, The Farley Group has developed a remote ballast cabinet which eliminates the need for having individual ballasts located throughout the dome. Located outside the structure in a remote location, ballasts are stored together all in one place. The need to move heavy ballasts is eliminated, servicing becomes a breeze, potential safety hazards are removed, and unsightly electrical components are relocated to an out of the way location.

Another big advantage of choosing our ballast cabinet option is that for this small premium in initial cost, you can save big on field wiring costs. The gauge of wire to feed your lights (the major use of wiring on site) is reduced and the lighting breaker panel plus switching contractors are all included in the ballast cabinet.

Our weatherproof ballast cabinets measure approximately 5' wide, 6' high, and 1'deep, accommodating 20-28 ballasts per cabinet. Standing inconspicuously beside a furnace or against a clubhouse they are out of the way and out of sight with the rest of your mechanical equipment. There is no need to replace 2 ballasts and 2 capacitors when only one fails (in the case of a double ballast), and individual components are readily available.
