''Achille & Cesare Bortolotti'' Municipal Stadium

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.

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.

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.
