Quality facilities are fundamental to ensuring physical activity can create positive experiences for all. Installation of artificial lighting and the conversion from Halogen to LED are becoming increasingly popular as the technology is now so advanced. There are many benefits such as: minimal light spillage, reduced glare, optimised controls, durability and potentially huge energy savings (up to 60%) from their energy efficiency. All this can increase the long term sustainability of your club and/or facility.
We caught up with Charlie from Folkestone Invicta FC and Paul from Maidstone Hockey Club to hear how the clubs are benefiting from their LED floodlight conversions.
