LED Bowling Green Floodlighting Upgrade at Betws yn Rhos
Sports Lighting completed an LED floodlighting upgrade at Betws yn Rhos Bowling Club in North Wales, replacing the club’s existing metal halide floodlights with modern LED lighting.
The project involved removing eight older metal halide fittings and installing eight new LED floodlights on the existing Towermaster Octolite columns.
Despite challenging access conditions around the bowling green, the installation was completed successfully in a single afternoon, providing the club with an upgraded lighting system.
Replacing Eight Metal Halide Floodlights with LEDs
The original floodlighting system consisted of eight metal halide floodlights mounted on four Towermaster Octolite columns.
Sports Lighting was appointed to replace the existing fittings with eight modern LED floodlights, allowing the club to upgrade its lighting while retaining the existing column infrastructure.
LED floodlighting offers several advantages over traditional metal halide technology, including improved energy efficiency, reduced maintenance requirements and more consistent lighting performance.
By replacing the older fittings rather than installing an entirely new column system, the project made effective use of the club’s existing floodlighting infrastructure.
Overcoming Restricted Access with a 20-Metre Spider Lift
One of the main challenges during the installation was the surrounding vegetation, including trees and bushes positioned close to the floodlighting columns.
Although the existing Towermaster Octolite columns were designed to be lowered for maintenance, the surrounding conditions prevented them from being lowered safely.
To overcome this problem, Sports Lighting used a 20-metre spider lift to access the floodlights and complete the necessary replacement work.
This alternative access method allowed the team to carry out the installation without needing to lower the columns.
The project demonstrates the importance of assessing site access and selecting suitable equipment when working with existing sports floodlighting installations.
Completing the Floodlighting Upgrade in One Afternoon
The Sports Lighting team departed Torquay at 5:30am and arrived at Betws yn Rhos Bowling Club at approximately midday.
Despite the long journey and restricted access conditions, the team completed the LED floodlighting installation by 5:30pm that same day.
This meant all eight metal halide floodlights were replaced with new LED fittings during a single afternoon’s work.
The efficient completion of the project helped minimise disruption to the bowling club while ensuring the new lighting equipment was installed successfully.
A Successful LED Floodlighting Project in North Wales
Sports Lighting was pleased to secure the project following a competitive quotation process involving other floodlighting contractors.
The completed installation provided Betws yn Rhos Bowling Club with an upgraded LED floodlighting system, and the club expressed its satisfaction with both the quality and efficiency of the work.
We would like to thank everyone at Betws yn Rhos Bowling Club for their assistance and hospitality throughout the project.
It was another successful installation for Sports Lighting, demonstrating our ability to overcome access challenges and complete specialist floodlighting work efficiently.
