Dynamic lighting for match-day impact BEKA Schréder supplied OMNIBLAST-E MIDI and OMNIBLAST-E MAXI floodlights, together with a DMX control solution for the stadium lighting.

product references and any subsequent replacement records. While photographs and labels are helpful in describing what is installed, they do not, by themselves, confirm compatibility with alternative components. When requesting a replacement, submit the complete record as a single, organised document, rather than piecemeal fragments from previous correspondence. Clearly specify which part is being queried, what is known about the current arrangement, and what information is still missing. This enables suppliers and qualified professionals to determine what should be verified before any replacement or electrical work proceeds. After any approved modification, retain the original reference and update the record to include the new replacement identification, the installation date, and all relevant supplier documents. This ensures that future enquiries accurately reflect the current installation while maintaining traceability of earlier information. A comprehensive record is far more than a photograph of a lit sign; it links the display, its lighting, and its power unit within a unified set of equipment information. BOOTH LIGHTS supplies exhibition lights and LED lightbox components, with manufacturing and fulfilment in China.

When access has been safely arranged, document all visible identification details on both the lighting components and the power unit.

For example, the BOOTH LIGHTS SL-
