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.

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.

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.
