Sports Floodlighting Maintenance at HMS Drake, Plymouth<\/h2>\n

Sports Lighting returned to HMS Drake in Plymouth, Devon, to carry out further floodlighting maintenance across the facility’s grass and 3G sports pitches.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

This ongoing work demonstrates the importance of regular floodlighting maintenance in helping sports facilities maintain reliable illumination throughout the year.<\/p>\n

Philips LED Floodlighting Upgrade for the Grass Pitch<\/h2>\n

Approximately two years before this maintenance visit, Sports Lighting replaced the original metal halide floodlights on the grass pitch with modern Philips LED fittings.<\/p>\n

LED floodlighting offers several advantages over traditional metal halide technology, including improved energy efficiency, reduced maintenance requirements and more reliable lighting performance.<\/p>\n

The installation provided a modern lighting solution while making use of the facility’s existing floodlighting infrastructure.<\/p>\n

3G Pitch Floodlighting Servicing and Repairs<\/h2>\n

Alongside the previous LED upgrade, Sports Lighting has undertaken maintenance work on the adjoining 3G pitch.<\/p>\n

This included servicing the existing floodlighting system and replacing lamps and igniters to maintain reliable operation.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Specialist Hydraulic Floodlighting Column Lowering<\/h2>\n

One of the important aspects of the work at HMS Drake was the use of different hydraulic column-lowering systems.<\/p>\n

For the grass pitch, Sports Lighting used a Christies hydraulic ram, while a Towermaster hydraulic ram was used for the 3G pitch.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

This specialist equipment allows us to undertake maintenance, repairs and floodlight replacements on a wide range of base-hinged column systems.<\/p>\n

Professional Sports Floodlighting Maintenance Across the UK<\/h2>\n

With over 30 years of experience, Sports Lighting provides professional sports floodlighting maintenance, repairs, LED upgrades and specialist column-lowering services throughout the UK.<\/p>\n

Our experience with different hydraulic systems and floodlighting equipment allows us to support sports clubs, schools and other facilities with their ongoing lighting requirements.<\/p>\n
