Signify announced the installation of its Interact Sport connected lighting system at the Toyota Stadium in Aichi, Japan. The company said it is the first outdoor stadium in Japan to install connected LED pitch lighting using robotic measurement during the installation.

The robotic measurement is part of Signify's innovative commissioning method. It helps to reduce installation time and significantly improves accuracy compared to traditional measurement methods. Aiming of floodlights, horizontal illuminance, color temperature and rendering are just a few of the components put to the test. The total service package installed in Japan's first LED outdoor stadium includes software-based lighting design, 3D visualization and video aiming.
