The Challenge
After 25 years of service, the existing pitch lighting at the City of Peterborough Hockey Club had become a significant operational burden. The traditional floodlights not only lacked brightness and clarity but were increasingly unreliable and costly to maintain. Bulb replacements were required every few months, each involving complex, labour-intensive procedures due to the scale and height of the fixtures.
With the club’s energy bills escalating and lighting performance deteriorating, it was clear that a modern, efficient solution was long overdue.
The Solution
Thanks to a generous community grant from Mick George, the club secured funding to invest in essential pitch improvements, most notably the upgrade of the lighting.
Optimum Electrics was selected to deliver a full lighting system replacement. We supplied and installed 1200W Powertron LED floodlights, which offer:
Superior brightness and uniform coverage
Longer lifespan and reduced maintenance
High energy efficiency, reducing power usage
Compliance with National League lighting standards, with the correct lux levels for professional play
In addition to the lighting units themselves, our team completely overhauled the electrical infrastructure, replacing all internal fuses and cabling to ensure full compliance with modern safety standards and regulations.
The Result
The new system has transformed both the pitch and the club’s bottom line:
Visibility for players and spectators has dramatically improved, enabling the club to meet national league specifications.
Energy consumption has been halved, significantly reducing monthly electricity bills.
Maintenance concerns have been eliminated, with the LED system backed by a 7-year product warranty and a 2-year on-site manufacturer warranty, giving the club total peace of mind.
