About the contest
Grass grow lights are essential tools for stadiums worldwide, helping grounds teams maintain top-quality playing surfaces year-round. More and more clubs that prioritise the highest grass quality and sustainability are investing in LED technology. With LED technology, light and heat radiation can be regulated separately, enabling grounds teams to tailor the microclimate to the playing surface’s needs and optimise high-quality grass growth in the most energy-efficient way possible.
SGL offers a wide range of LED grow lighting units, making LED technology accessible to clubs at every level. Want to experience firsthand how an LED grow light can benefit you? We give away two free LED50 trials for a period of three months!

LED technology makes significant impact for Hull City
“We liked the idea, and we discussed the benefits of the lighting rigs. What helped massively was the LED50 trial we did. That way all the decision-makers in the club could notice the results with their own eyes.”
Aaron Tong, Head Groundsman – Hull City AFC

In-house LED research
Agronomical research is carried out at the SGL Research & Innovation Centre by our agronomy team. We have both indoor and outdoor facilities. Within the indoor facility we can control all growth factors and are therefore able to simulate all possible climates. We test different grass species in various climate conditions to find the perfect balance between light and temperature for all customers worldwide, and determine what the most efficient use of both is to optimise energy savings.
In the outdoor facility we simulate a stadium environment. We monitor how the grass behaves with different light sources and temperatures, for both the short term and long term. Our monitoring system measures the growth factors 24/7 and our agronomists review and compare the data. The results are used in the development of new products and to optimise our growth algorithms and forecasts, customer data services and advice.
