Asia World Expo (AWE) faced significant challenges with their old lighting system, particularly during high-profile events such as the annual Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE), which sees nearly 50,000 students taking exams. The previous lighting setup struggled with uniformity, causing inconsistencies in illumination that could impact the fairness and effectiveness of the examination environment. Additionally, the outdated system's maintenance was cumbersome and time-consuming, with entire fixtures needing replacement rather than just individual bulbs, which was inefficient for a venue with minimal downtime between events.

AWE needed a lighting solution that could provide consistent, uniform illumination to meet the stringent requirements of high-stakes events like the HKDSE. They also required a system that would minimize maintenance disruptions, given the venue's busy schedule, and offer modern control capabilities to replace their outdated HID setup. Upon evaluating options, AWE found that Filamento's lighting met all their needs. Filamento’s lights provided exceptional uniformity, addressing the fairness issues with consistent lighting. Their efficient maintenance process and flexibility in control system upgrades also aligned perfectly with AWE's operational requirements, making Filamento an ideal choice for their lighting overhaul.
The Solution
Asia World Expo selected Filamento's lighting for its superior uniformity, efficient maintenance, and flexible control options to address key operational challenges:

Excellent Quality of Light:
For the annual Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) at Asia World Expo (AWE), which hosts nearly 50,000 students, uniform lighting is crucial. The examination authority requires consistent illumination to ensure fairness for all candidates, making high-quality, uniform lighting essential for such a significant event.

Short Maintenance Downtime:
AWE is one of Asia's busiest venues with minimal downtime between events. Filamento’s lighting solution addresses this by offering a “change the light bulb” approach. This method allows for quick and efficient bulb replacements, significantly reducing maintenance time compared to replacing entire fixtures.

Flexible Control Upgrades:
Transitioning from HID to LED lighting, AWE needed a system with adaptable control options. Filamento lamps provide an easy upgrade path to any control system after installation, which is highly advantageous for venues like AWE that require both flexibility and modern functionality in their lighting systems.
The Results
The switch to Filamento's lighting system yielded remarkable results for AWE. The uniform lighting improved the examination environment, ensuring fairness for all candidates during the HKDSE. Maintenance became more efficient, with reduced disruption between events due to the swift replacement of individual bulbs. Additionally, the flexibility to upgrade control systems enhanced operational adaptability, making it easier for AWE to transition from their old HID setup to a more advanced LED system. Overall, Filamento's lights addressed the venue's previous issues and provided a reliable, future-proof lighting solution.
