Arsenal chooses Abacus to light Hale End training pitch
Following successful floodlighting installations at Everton and Chelsea Football Clubs, Abacus Lighting has made it a football hat trick with the provision of a 500 lux system to the Hale End Arsenal Youth Academy.
Abacus provided valuable help to the Club in order to overcome strict planning conditions, which insisted that no lighting overspill intruded onto neighbouring properties. A range of designs were produced for consideration incorporating Abacus’ patented raising and lowering masts and Challenger® 1 floodlights.
In the past, sports lighting has provided some of the worst cases of individual light pollution and protecting the environment through careful lighting design is a major priority for Abacus. Overspill, sky glow and glare, which are the key elements of light pollution, are receiving increasing attention wherever floodlighting applications are being considered.
Abacus’ Challenger® 1 range of sports lighting offers a specific light control system consisting of a series of complementary measures to effectively control obtrusive light. Precision reflector systems ensure tight beam control, reducing overspill and directing light only where it is needed. The range was designed satisfy the requirements of a diverse range of sports lighting applications at every possible level of competition.
The Academy at Walthamstow, is now in its 11th season. One of the first tier of English clubs to gain academy status in 1998, it has consistently produced footballers ready for first-team action. Ex-academy graduates, Cesc Fabregas, Gael Clichy and Nicklas Bendtner all now play for Arsenal and Ashley Cole, David Bentley and Steven Sidwell have all played for England.
