METAL HALIDE → LED CONVERSIONS
Light your venue right
the first time.
Sydney Olympic Park trusted Rees with its metal halide to LED conversion.
Before you sign, ask: who will still be standing behind your lights in 2036?
Sydney Olympic Park Athletics Stadium, NSW — metal halide to LED conversion by Rees
Written by the team that designs, builds and maintains the assets — not by a marketing department.
~30%
Lower connected load
Measured on Rees metal halide to LED conversions, for the same design illuminance.

Warm-up and restrike delay
LED gives full output instantly and can be dimmed to training, match and broadcast levels.
0
Mercury at end of life
Metal halide lamps must be disposed of as regulated waste. LED has no mercury content.
Most sports lighting still standing in Australia was designed around metal halide or mercury vapour. It was the right technology when it went in. It is now the most expensive part of running a venue.

Maintained by the team that installed it
Who maintains it once the install crew has driven away?
Is it end-of-line or clearance stock? Will drivers, optics and spares exist in five years?
Is the manufacturer still trading? If not, who actually honours the warranty?
Is the design proven to AS 2560 for your sport and your level of play?
An offer can look good on the quote. These four questions show what it will cost over the life of the lights.
