"Silvio Piola" Sports Centre

The Paolo Magnolfi Municipal Stadium in Calenzano is located just a few kilometres from Florence and is the home of the Folgor Calenzano Sports Club, which has a 5-a-side team in the fourth division and a dynamic youth football section. With these young athletes in mind, the Sports Club decided on a total replacement of the lighting system on the Magnolfi pitch, where the Digital Sport Innovation team installed 60 Smart [PRO] floodlights with the very latest LEDs – providing improved lighting for tomorrow's champions.

GEWISS has developed a range of products for football facilities that provide safe electrical systems and more efficient and sustainable lighting. Our new pitch floodlight, for instance, is based on a modular structure that enables customisation on each project by rationalising the system as far as possible, meeting relevant legal requirements.

On the San Pellegrino pitch, the previous midfield lighting only emitted 50 lux of light, while near the corners, this level was just 30 lux. After installing seven twomodule Smart [PRO] led devices, a much more uniform lighting result was achieved, with a more realistic light quality. The end result: the amount of light across the entire surface of the pitch has been tripled, and energy consumption has been slashed by two thirds.
