First mobile LED system for ski jumping inrun tracks

Just a few weeks before the start of the winter season, the Peter Riedel GmbH is presenting another innovation in the ski jumping sector. The company created the world's first mobile LED lighting system for inrun tracks.

The LED lighting elements are positioned either beside or in the middle of the skijumper. With this system, it is possible to present the inrun track in various colors (e.g. corporate design colors of the event or an event sponsor) to create a unique ambience. There are no limits depending color, the complete RGB color system can be imaged. The control of the LEDs is variable and can be connected with the start signal if required. Even if it’s a permanent lighting, a flashing or a "running" of the LED light behind the jumper in the inrun track, various scenarios can be displayed. These additional lighting effects make the ski jumping experience even more intense and spectacular for the on-site spectators and viewers at home.

After a development period of 9 months, Peter Riedel presented the LED lighting last week at the autumn meeting of the International Ski Federation FIS. FIS race director Walter Hofer described it as a „great innovation for ski jumping“.

"For me, it’s important that with the lighting system you can show the architecture of the ski jump from a new perspective and visually offer the spectators something new. A pleasant side effect is that each organizer can tailor the lighting and color to their needs, sponsors and other conditions. I'm looking forward to seeing the LEDs in action for the first time, "says CEO Peter Riedel.

The system can be easily integrated into all Peter Riedel Master Track inrun systems. Installation in other inrun systems is also possible on request. The LED lighting can either be installed temporarily or as a permanent lighting tool. Some World Cup stations such as the Four Hills Tournament final in Bischofshofen have already expressed their interest in the new LED system.
