Sports Floodlighting Maintenance at HMS Drake, Plymouth
Sports Lighting returned to HMS Drake in Plymouth, Devon, to carry out further floodlighting maintenance across the facility’s grass and 3G sports pitches.
Having previously upgraded the grass pitch floodlighting to modern Philips LED technology, our team has continued to provide servicing and maintenance for the site’s existing lighting systems.
This ongoing work demonstrates the importance of regular floodlighting maintenance in helping sports facilities maintain reliable illumination throughout the year.
Philips LED Floodlighting Upgrade for the Grass Pitch
Approximately two years before this maintenance visit, Sports Lighting replaced the original metal halide floodlights on the grass pitch with modern Philips LED fittings.
LED floodlighting offers several advantages over traditional metal halide technology, including improved energy efficiency, reduced maintenance requirements and more reliable lighting performance.
The installation provided a modern lighting solution while making use of the facility’s existing floodlighting infrastructure.
3G Pitch Floodlighting Servicing and Repairs
Alongside the previous LED upgrade, Sports Lighting has undertaken maintenance work on the adjoining 3G pitch.
This included servicing the existing floodlighting system and replacing lamps and igniters to maintain reliable operation.
Regular maintenance and the timely replacement of worn components can help extend the working life of traditional floodlighting systems and reduce the likelihood of unexpected failures.
Specialist Hydraulic Floodlighting Column Lowering
One of the important aspects of the work at HMS Drake was the use of different hydraulic column-lowering systems.
For the grass pitch, Sports Lighting used a Christies hydraulic ram, while a Towermaster hydraulic ram was used for the 3G pitch.
Sports Lighting maintains an extensive selection of specialist hydraulic rams, enabling us to lower and raise suitable floodlighting columns ranging from 4 metres to 22 metres in height.
This specialist equipment allows us to undertake maintenance, repairs and floodlight replacements on a wide range of base-hinged column systems.
