Due Pini Stadium

< Back
 
The floodlighting system installed at the multi-purpose Due Pini Stadium in Salo, northern Italy, is both functional and community-focused. It satisfies the requirements of the athletic and football governing bodies, and prevents the escape of stray light in order to respect the quality of life of nearby local residents. The 52 Champion 2kW metal halide floodlights, mounted on four 25m high masts, provide an excellent solution.

Performance

The scheme meets the recommended illuminance values published in UNI EN 12193 as well as the rules of the Italian National Olympic Committee (CONI) and Italian Football Association (FIGC). The playing surface appears uniformly bright and disability glare is reduced to negligible levels.

Efficiency

The use of precision optics ensures that all running track markings and the entire field area of play are precisely illuminated without emitting any stray light. The floodlights also score highly in terms of economic efficiency. Compared with conventional floodlights the scheme uses eight fewer projectors – a 13 per cent saving in power load. Three switching levels meet the needs of different sporting events.

Comfort

The quality of light provided by the installation promotes quick reactions by players and competitors, encouraging improvements in skill and performance. The 10,000 spectators enjoy a clear view of all the action across the entire sporting area.
