"Luigi Bergamelli" Youth Club Sports Field

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.

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.

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.
