Hey guys.
I'm after some advice.
My local football club are looking to illuminate part of our pitch to allow us to train on the dark winter evenings but sadly we do not have the funding to be able to install proper floodlighting systems. The area we are looking to light would roughly be the same as a 5-a-side pitch. In the past we had 6 (3 at either goal ends) 250w metal halide floods on a moveable scaffold but this is very unsafe in high winds and a pain in the neck to move around and it was also run off extension leads from the clubhouse which is also not the safest.
What were are looking at is to install 8-10 lights permanantly fixed down one side of the pitch, some on telegraph poles and some on the club house roof. We have a budget of approx. £2000-£3000. This budget would be for materials only as we have a few sparkys that will donate the labour and also quite a bit of the switch gear is already present in the clubhouse.
Can you guys recommend any products that would give us good illumination? LED? Halide? Bearing in mind it is only for training and not matches.
Thanks
