Gym

A well-lit room makes you want to work out—and films well. Slide the handle: same set, same time, different light.

The illuminated back wall serves as a backdrop for videos: it's a game-changer for members' stories.

Before After

Before: weak and uneven lighting, leaving shadowed areas between machines. After: powerful and uniform light that covers the entire room, with no shadowed areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Gym Lighting: Your Questions Answered

What venue managers ask us most often.

How many hexagons for one room?

0.50 hexagon per m² as a base. This is less than a garage because a room is an open volume, but you have to add 50% for ceiling heights over 3 m—which is the case for most commercial premises.

Should we reduce density on the free weights platform?

No, that's the classic mistake. That's where we most need to see: the position of the back, the placement of the feet, the discs. We maintain full density and shift the pattern of the high movement zones.

RGB or white?

White for training, color for ambiance. An all-RGB room tires you out and distorts your perception of volumes after a few weeks. The combination that lasts: a white main area, color on the periphery or on one wall.

How high should the panels be installed?

Above everything that goes up: approximately 2.60 m for a standing overhead press, 2.70 m for a snatch. In these areas, we shift the grid rather than lowering the panels—a hexagon moved by one meter barely changes the lighting.

Will the vibrations loosen the fasteners?

This is the real enemy of a room. Each bar resting on the floor propagates through the structure. Use fixings appropriate for the support — not universal anchors — and plan a check at one month, then at six months.

And for member videos?

Light up the background wall. A ceiling grid alone leaves the background dark and faces contrasted. This is the detail that makes the difference between a video you publish and one you delete.

Cleaning?

Dry or slightly damp cloth, with the power off. Chalk and dust accumulate on the diffusers, causing them to lose brightness faster than you might think. Cleaning once a year is sufficient.

Wetlands, changing rooms, sauna?

It's not the same material: a suitable protection rating is required. Never place panels intended for the tabletop on these areas.

The Hexeli Landmark

Lighting a sports hall

A hall is a volume, not a room. The light must cover without dazzling, withstand vibrations, and make the place photogenic — because members film.

Three parameters are decisive: density, height, and the balance between white and color.

0.50 hex/m² Hall density
+50% Beyond 3 m
2.70 m Minimum headroom

The base density

0.50 hexagon per m², increased by 50% when the ceiling exceeds 3 m. In a 5 m high commercial space, this makes a real difference to the floor area.

Shift, don't descend

On moves the weave in areas where snatches, presses or pulls are performed. A panel hit by a bar costs more than ten well-placed hexagons.

The back wall

It's the background for all the videos. Lighting it up changes the perception of the room without changing anything on the set.

White for effort, color for ambiance

Neutral white is used to practice and correct posture. Color is used for group classes, photos, and the identity of the venue. The same canvas is not asked to do both.
