The Wädenswil football pitches in a new light - energy savings of up to 60%
The lighting at FC Wädenswil's four football pitches - three in Beichlen and one in Schönegg - has been completely renewed. Although they emit the same amount of light as the previous models, the new LED spotlights save over 60% energy overall. In addition, the new lighting can be precisely controlled and ensures less light pollution.
Successful fun tournament to mark the inauguration of the new lighting system
The football match, which took place on a recent fall evening at Beichlen, ended 2:3. For once, however, the defeat did not hurt FC Wädenswil. The mixed team of seniors and veterans did not play against a league opponent, but against the team from ELEKTRON AG. The match celebrated the inauguration of the new sports pitch lighting, which was installed this year on the three pitches in Beichlen and the pitch in Schönegg. And these are undoubtedly a benefit for everyone involved.
Over 60% energy saved in the Beichlen
"The energy savings are enormous. Whereas the Beichlen previously required 100 kW to light the entire facility, it is now just 37 kW. That's 63% less."
Remo Conte, Project Manager ELEKTRON AG
Project manager Remo Conte played for FC Wädenswil himself for many years and is therefore particularly pleased that he and his team were able to implement the new lighting.
Less light pollution thanks to targeted alignment
Another positive effect of the new lights: They can be aimed very specifically. This reduces light pollution around the sports pitches to a minimum.</p
This is particularly important at the Schönegg football pitch, as it is located in the middle of a residential area of Wädenswil. Thanks to the new lighting, local residents are no longer disturbed by night-time tournaments and training sessions.
