Chesterfield FC
Chesterfield FC, one of the oldest football clubs in the world, was founded in 1866 and is known as “The Spireites.” The club is deeply connected to the town of Chesterfield in the United Kingdom, famous for its crooked church spire and historic contributions to football, such as the birth of walking football. The SMH Group Stadium, with a capacity of 10 600, reflects their ambitious vision.
Advanced lighting technology and results
Chesterfield FC wanted to upgrade their stadium lighting to meet the strict UEFA Level D standards required for hosting international matches. Lumosa provided the perfect solution with our CS860 Pro LED luminaires. These advanced fixtures deliver an impressive output of over 800 lux, ensuring optimal visibility for both players and spectators. Thanks to our retrofit approach we installed this powerful lighting without replacing the existing poles, resulting in even and consistent illumination across the entire pitch.
Energy savings
The new lighting system not only enhances the match-day experience but also delivers significant energy savings, a key objective for Chesterfield FC. Here is how the savings stack up:
-
At 250 lux the club achieves an 85 percent reduction in energy use.
-
At 500 lux they see a 62 percent saving.
-
At UEFA Level D (> 800 lux) they still achieve an 11 percent reduction.
These savings are especially remarkable considering the near doubling of light levels. With Lumosa’s LED technology Chesterfield FC enjoys superior lighting alongside a dramatic cut in power consumption, perfectly aligned with their sustainability goals.
LumosaTouch
LumosaTouch, our intelligent control system, boosts project efficiency. With this system Chesterfield FC can tailor the lighting to every type of event, whether a thrilling match or a casual training session. At the push of a button they adjust the illumination, ensuring both optimal energy efficiency and spectacular atmosphere with dynamic light shows at key moments.
