Philips Stadium has replaced inefficient HPS lamps with Philips GreenPower LED and infrared grow lights, specially developed for sports grass, and saving energy up to 50%.
A smart and automated system ensures that the grass receives exactly the additional lighting and heat it needs, on top of natural daylight, to remain vital and strong.

"The turf gets exactly the required additional light and heat that it needs, on top of the available natural daylight, so that the turf grows and recovers even better. Especially during the dark, cold and wet season, so we are super happy.”

The challenge
The Philips Stadium wants to be the most innovative and hospitable stadium. The quality of the pitch is essential in the Philips Stadium, significantly impacting player welfare, safety and performance. A beautiful green pitch is also very important for TV broadcasts and the fan experience.
The stadium’s ambition was to improve turf quality while decreasing energy consumption with the newest LED technology.
The solution
The energy-efficient Philips LED and infrared lamps can dim separately and are operated by a fully automated central control system. This system accurately determines how much light and heat the grass needs to grow optimally, using various sensors that continuously measure environmental factors such as daylight, temperature and humidity. In this way, the grass never receives too much or too little lighting.
Benefits:
- Superior turf quality
- Fully automated light control
- Significant energy savings
