Sports field lighting
Putting the game in a good light
Reduce your energy costs by up to 40%
LED lights are the talk of the town everywhere, because they are not only energy efficient, but also cost-saving and economical.
In contrast to conventional lights with an average life of around 7'000 to 5'000 hours, LED technology can last for up to 50'000 hours. LED lamps also require less electrical power to produce the same brightness, and they are also more efficient.
Illuminating a sports facility professionally is a science in itself. That’s because light is not just a question of brightness. It is also a matter of responding to the various demands made on a modern sports field: such as perfect illumination, ideal light intensity, the playing conditions, and avoiding unnecessary light pollution. Also because sports fields are often located in residential areas, consideration must also be given to the immediate neighbourhood. In addition to saving costs, you can also save yourself trouble! If you upgrade your sports field to LED lighting, you will be ready for the future.
Demand-oriented services
from individual packages to complete solutions – individual and flexible
Testing and planning
Kummler+Matter EVT takes over the preliminary mast inspection and overall planning, and contributes its expertise and advisory skills when it comes to selecting suitable lighting, organising lighting and structural calculations, and preparing the electrical plans.
Engineering
Based on the lighting requirements and the location, calculations are carried out for the mast locations, equipment, light type and also the cable routing.
Execution
We calculate mast requirements and install them, and we carry out the required civil engineering work, pull through the cables and prepare all the electrical connections.
Commissioning
After completion, light measurements are carried out on the systems and logged. This enables us to verify whether the area is illuminated consistently according to the respective guidelines. Based on the type of sport, we create the required measurement logs individually. The Swiss Football Association (SFV), for example, requires periodic lighting measurements for football pitches.
Upkeep
Regular lighting maintenance, including cleaning of floodlights, replacement of bulbs, checking of lighting values, street lights and electric cables is recommended in every case.
Safety aspects and
association requirements
Depending on which league your sports field is licensed for, it will be necessary to comply with the guidelines of the respective club or association.
These consist not only of regulatory requirements – as issues regarding safety and accident prevention are just as important. Furthermore, because security is not a game, your choice of partner must also meet and fulfil these criteria.
Our «sportsmen» from Kummler+Matter EVT know all of these concerns and have the corresponding expertise and experience. We support you with the planning, maintenance and servicing so that every game remains a carefree one.
