Football à 11

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.

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 4th May 2018 the official opening ceremony took place, of the Paride Tilesi Stadium in Amatrice, which had been completely restored after a major earthquake two years earlier. GEWISS, in collaboration with Corus and as part of the Digital Sport Innovation project, was directly involved in the renovation of the lighting system, supplying (with special agreements) all the material needed to overhaul the electrical and lighting system, including energy management solutions and providing 56 Smart [PRO] floodlights with LED technology.
