Birstall United: LED Floodlight Upgrade

Birstall United Football Club

Location: Birstall, Leicestershire, UK
Project Completion: 2024
Lux Level: 200 lux

Birstall United’s pitch was previously lit using outdated metal halide floodlights. These fixtures were no longer efficient, suffered from high running costs, and provided uneven illumination that fell short of modern standards. The club wanted a long-term solution that would both improve lighting quality and reduce operational overheads.

The Solution

Working with Halliday Lighting, Birstall United upgraded to SITECO FL 11 floodlights. The project was carried out as a retrofit installation, removing the old metal halide fittings and replacing them with new LED units.

Key elements of the solution included:

As a preferred supplier to the Football Foundation, Halliday Lighting continues to support the drive to convert all floodlit clubs to LED systems.

Project Highlights

  • Retrofit replacement of outdated metal halide fittings with LED
  • 200 lux system for training and competition
  • Wireless control for simple, efficient operation
  • Funding secured through PLSF

The Impact

The new installation has delivered immediate benefits for Birstall United, such as:

  • Improved lighting quality across the full pitch, creating safer and more enjoyable playing conditions
  • Lower energy consumption thanks to the efficiency of modern LED floodlights
  • Reduced maintenance costs with long-lasting fixtures
  • Operational flexibility through wireless control, allowing simple management of lighting levels

The project not only improved the matchday and training environment, but also supports the club’s sustainability goals by reducing energy use and carbon footprint.
