Chesterfield FC
Chesterfield FC, one of the oldest football clubs in the world, has a rich history dating back to 1866. Known as "The Spireites," the club’s legacy is deeply rooted in the town of Chesterfield, UK, with its iconic crooked spire and historic contributions to football, such as the birthplace of walking football. With a seating capacity of around 10,600, their home, the SMH Group Stadium, is a symbol of their ambitious vision. When it came time to upgrade their stadium lighting to meet modern standards, Chesterfield FC turned to Lumosa for an innovative and energy-efficient solution. The result? A transformation that not only elevated the matchday experience but also reinforced the club's commitment to sustainability.
Enhanced Lighting Technology and Outputs
Chesterfield FC sought to upgrade their lighting to meet the rigorous UEFA Level D standards required for hosting international matches. Lumosa provided the perfect solution with our CS860 Pro LED luminaires. These advanced lights deliver an impressive output, achieving light levels of over 800 Lux, ensuring optimal visibility for players and fans alike. The retrofit approach allowed us to install these high-performance lights without replacing the existing masts, resulting in consistent and uniform lighting across the entire pitch.
Significant Energy Savings
The new lighting system not only enhances the matchday experience but also delivers substantial energy savings, a core objective for Chesterfield FC. Here’s how the energy savings break down:
· 250 Lux: Achieved an outstanding 85% energy savings.
· 500 Lux: Recorded an impressive 62% energy savings.
· UEFA Level D (>800 Lux): Realized a solid 11% energy savings.
These savings are even more remarkable considering the significant increase in light levels, which have almost doubled. Lumosa’s LED technology ensures that Chesterfield FC benefits from superior illumination while drastically reducing energy consumption, aligning perfectly with their sustainability goals.
LumosaTouch for Optimal Control
LumosaTouch, our innovative control system, adds another layer of efficiency to the project. This system enables Chesterfield FC to precisely control the lighting levels for various events, whether it’s a high-stakes match or a routine training session. With the ability to adjust lighting at the touch of a button, the club maximizes energy efficiency while creating an electrifying atmosphere with dynamic light shows during key moments.
