"Silvio Piola" Sports Centre

The historic football club ‘Unione Sportiva Scanzorosciate’ in the province of Bergamo, has joined the Football Innovation project, re-lighting its main training pitch. This installation features 28 Smart [PRO] LED fixtures, which save about 26,400 kWh and 14 tons of CO₂ every year. This is a gain for the club, in clean energy as well as costs.

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.

The Pietro Bibolini football pitch in Lerici is based in the natural setting of Falconara Park, overlooking Punta Galera and the sea just outside the breakwater of La Spezia. Bibolini is a wonderful example of a pitch that uses the latest artificial turf, and it is lit entirely by 40 GEWISS Smart [PRO] LED floodlights. The lighting replacement, which was part of a full renovation of the facilities, has provided advantages - from uniform lighting across the pitch, to massive savings in electricity consumption, which has fallen by 48% compared with the previous lighting system.
