New light for Father's stadium: Floodlight system is renewed!

In the Vaterstetten sports stadium, a comprehensive renovation of the floodlight system will take place in the coming months. The demolition of the old, dilapidated masts is planned for January, followed by the installation of new, smaller masts in April. While the old system was designed for the light intensity of 500 lux, the new lighting will be operated with about 190 lux, which is a reduction in brightness, such as Report merkur . This change also aims to reduce light pollution and thus protect the nocturnal fauna.

The decision to tear down the outdated floodlight system was made taking into account considerable construction defects. A recently carried out investigation had shown serious defects in the foundations of the old masts, which would have required a costly renovation of around 185,000 euros in order to increase the remaining use of only 15 years. According to Süddeutsche would be a fundamental renewal The economically meaningful solution.

The new system should not only be more cost-efficient in the entertainment, but also bring significant savings on electricity costs after the old lighting needed around 80,000 watts, while modern LED technology should only consume 18,000 watts. In addition, the municipality plans to provide 75,000 euros from the current budget for the demolition of the old masts, whereby the total costs for the new system are estimated to be estimated to be between 250,000 and 400,000 euros. This investment could raise the stadium lighting to a level that is above the average of the environment and at the same time meets the specific needs of local sport.
