From Shadows to Spotlight: How Lumosa Revitalised Cleavley Athletics Track

In the heart of Salford, something remarkable has happened. A once-forgotten athletics track is now glowing, not just with powerful LED floodlights, but with new life, energy, and community spirit.

Welcome to Cleavley Track’s transformation story. And Lumosa’s role in lighting the way.

A Track Worth Saving

Cleavley Athletics Track isn’t just a collection of lanes and lines, it’s where countless young athletes took their first sprint, where grassroots clubs trained in all seasons, and where a community came together around sport. But time had taken its toll.

Aging infrastructure. Dim, unreliable floodlights. Safety concerns. Usage in decline.

Evenings, once a bustling time for training, had grown quiet. Athletes even resorted to using car headlights to continue evening sessions.

What Cleavley needed wasn’t just a lighting upgrade. It needed a revival. A reason for people to return.

Enter Lumosa: Engineering Light for Life

We don’t do off-the-shelf lighting. At Lumosa, we design performance lighting that works for the people using it, and the planet too.

In partnership with installation experts Powerplus Group, Salford City Council, and Salford Community Leisure, we delivered a bespoke lighting system tailored to Cleavley’s unique requirements.

Here’s what we delivered:

• 20x CS860 LED floodlights – with cutting-edge optics and superior beam control
• 10x 15-metre masts – strategically placed for full, even coverage
• Precision planning – lighting designs to meet optimal lux levels and uniformity

Even with tough winter weather and tight site access, our teams worked seamlessly to get it done, safely, efficiently, and ahead of schedule.

Lighting the Way for a Community Comeback

The result? Instant impact.

Clubs like Salford Harriers and Salford Mets returned for regular evening sessions. Footfall surged. Locals reclaimed the space. And the community had its track back.

But more than stats or quotes, what matters most is this: Cleavley Track is once again a place where people feel safe, seen, and inspired.

That’s the power of light. And the purpose of Lumosa.
