Stadium LED Lighting at Munkvoll Stadium
Munkvoll Stadium is a small, local sports facility in Moltustranda on the island of Gurskøya on the Norwegian coast. This modest stadium combines a football pitch (7-a-side) with athletics facilities, including four running tracks and six 100-metre sprint tracks along the north side.
TRANSFORMATIVE IMPACT ON FIELD ILLUMINATION
The recent upgrade to the lighting system at Munkvoll Stadium has had a transformative impact on the facility, significantly improving the quality of field illumination. The new lighting provides a high level of uniformity across the pitch, ensuring excellent visibility for players, coaches, and spectators. Importantly, the system has been designed to eliminate disruptive glare, which often affects both the on-field experience and the surrounding environment.
STRATEGIC LOCATION AND COMMUNITY CONSIDERATIONS
Located amidst commercial and public buildings, with the nearest residential area 400 meters away, the positioning of the stadium has been a key consideration in the lighting design. Given this distance, additional measures to reduce glare, such as glare screens, were not deemed necessary. This thoughtful design ensures that the lighting enhances the sporting experience without causing any disturbances to the nearby community.
MEETING THE DEMANDS OF PROFESSIONAL BROADCASTS
In addition to improving the overall matchday experience, the upgraded lighting now meets the stringent standards required for high-level television broadcasts. This includes meeting the specific lighting requirements for 1st division-level productions. As a result, Munkvoll Stadium is now fully equipped to host professional-level events, providing a top-tier environment for Gurskøya IL to showcase their athletic talents under optimal lighting conditions.
A MODERN VENUE READY FOR THE FUTURE
The upgrade not only elevates the stadium’s technical capabilities but also reinforces Munkvoll Stadium’s status as a modern and versatile venue capable of hosting both local and national sporting events. With its new lighting system, the stadium is poised to offer a visually stunning platform for Gurskøya IL and other future events, ensuring a memorable experience for both athletes and spectators alike.
