In this article our focus is on Sporting Gijón, an ambitious club in the northern region of Spain, Asturias, and its recently appointed Grounds Manager: Eva Sánchez-Céspedes. We had the opportunity to ask her about how she got into the turf industry, what moved the club to purchase LED units and how she feels about data and reporting on her work.

Longtime colleagues Matthieu van Borkulo and Jan Dijkhuizen of AZ Alkmaar place trust in their own abilities, experiences and research. They share insights into their journey and explain how LED and UVC technology have helped them.

Over a year ago, the ArenA decided to completely replace their conventional HPS grow lighting system to a full SGL LED system and was able to save 6% on the total yearly energy consumption of the stadium (which equals roughly the annual power consumption of 150 Dutch households).

Panathinaikos invested in 3 LED440's and 2 LED50's to optimise the grass growing conditions in their stadium(s). Here's why they chose LED technology.

SC Paderborn 07 is a club with high sporting ambitions, but also with sustainable development. Paderborn wants to make an active contribution to protecting the environment and confirm its status as a (local) pioneer in the field of sustainability. The club therefore decided to invest in an efficient LED pitch lighting system.
