Football lighting project

Champcevinel football pitch: E7-level LED lighting

STADÉLUM supported the lighting project for the Champcevinel football pitch with a layout based on 4 twenty-metre poles and 8 STADIUM 800 W LED floodlights. The target photometric level was E7, suitable for training and local use of the pitch.

A project designed as a lighting study, not simply as a floodlight replacement

For a football pitch, the result depends on pole positioning, the height of the light points, the number of floodlights, their aiming, the uniformity achieved and the illuminance level maintained over time.

The values shown below correspond to the results of the photometric study provided for the project. No post-installation night-time on-site measurements are included in the data supplied.

Project context

The Champcevinel football pitch measures 88 × 54 metres. The proposed solution is based on a longitudinal layout, with 4 twenty-metre poles positioned in pairs along the touchlines.

Outdoor natural grass pitch.
Layout based on 4 high poles.
2 poles positioned on each side of the pitch.
Photometric objective: E7 level, with 140 lux at commissioning and 120 lux maintained.

Technical solution proposed by STADÉLUM

The selected configuration is designed to provide functional lighting for an E7 level while limiting the number of installed lighting points. Each pole is fitted with 2 STADIUM 800 W LED floodlights, for a total of 8 floodlights.

Layout

4 twenty-metre poles, positioned in pairs along the longitudinal sides of the pitch.

Floodlights

8 STADIUM 800 W LED floodlights, with 2 floodlights installed on each pole.

Illuminance objective

140 lux average at commissioning, 120 lux maintained average and U1h of 0.53, in accordance with the E7 objective specified for the project.

Photometric study and results

The photometric study makes it possible to verify that the layout, pole height, number of floodlights and their aiming are capable of achieving the required lighting level across the playing area.

STADIUM 800 W floodlights

Floodlight selection is not based on power alone. For a football pitch, mounting height, aiming, optics, light distribution and visual comfort from the playing area must also be considered.

The Champcevinel project is documented with 8 STADIUM 800 W floodlights installed on 4 twenty-metre poles. For football pitches, rugby pitches and large sports complexes, STADÉLUM also offers the ARENA STADIUM range, to be selected according to mounting height, projection distance, optics and the required illuminance level.

High mounting heights Long-distance projection Selectable optics Power according to the study

The floodlight alone does not define the solution.

For a football pitch, the final selection must take into account pole layout, pole height, light distribution, uniformity, visual comfort, glare and installed power.
