The Challenge: Emley FC’s old lighting system had become outdated, with issues surfacing more frequently over time. These challenges were escalating to the point where maintaining the system was no longer economically viable. With increased maintenance costs and declining performance, the club was struggling to meet the required lighting standards for competitive matches. To continue providing a high-quality experience for both players and supporters, Emley AFC required a modern, efficient lighting solution that would not only enhance the quality of light on the pitch but also help reduce energy costs. The club also wanted a system that would be easy to control and maintain while reducing its environmental impact. Thanks to funding from the Premier League Stadium Fund, Emley AFC could move forward with upgrading their system.
The Solution: Abacus Lighting delivered a comprehensive turnkey solution, retrofitting six Challenger 3 LED floodlights and six Challenger 1 LED floodlights onto the club’s existing fixed masts. The installation was completed within the projected timeframe, with Abacus providing prompt responses to any issues that arose during the project. This modern lighting system was designed to deliver high-quality illumination while significantly reducing energy consumption. The new LED system offers superior brightness, uniform light distribution, and improved visibility for players, referees, and spectators alike. One of the standout features of the new system is its advanced control capabilities, enabling Emley AFC to manage their lighting via a smartphone app. This functionality simplifies operations, allowing the club to easily set schedules, control brightness, and turn the lights on and off without needing to access the physical switch room. This not only enhances convenience but also contributes to further energy savings by ensuring the lights are only used when necessary. By implementing the latest LED technology, Emley AFC now benefits from a more sustainable and cost-effective solution, reducing its carbon footprint while significantly lowering utility bills.
