"Luigi Bergamelli" Youth Club Sports Field

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.

The work carried at the Youth Club Sports field in Chiuduno represents one of the first achievements of the Football Innovation project. Five Smart [PRO] devices with two modules have been installed on each of the four existing towers. The difference in terms of light quality was clear to see: from an average of around 70 lux on the ground in the previous system to 100 lux, with much more uniform lighting and a significantly more "realistic" light quality. The improvements in terms of safety and visual comfort are accompanied by a reduction in energy consumption and operating costs of around 80%. Designed and manufactured in Italy, Smart [PRO] was created by GEWISS to revolutionise sports lighting in italy.

Unione Sportiva Folgore Caratese chose GEWISS Smart [PRO] LED floodlights to light up four pitches at the Claudio Casati Sports Centre in Verano Brianza. The Folgore Caratese project aimed to merge two football schools and sports clubs, Folgore Verano and Caratese, to provide a single sports centre for Brianza and the surrounding area. The young players needed greater safety on the pitch, with improved lighting levels, in any weather. Folgore fully renovated the lighting system, installing about 100 Smart [PRO] floodlights on two 7-a-side pitches, a 5-a-side pitch and the main standard pitch for the primary team.
