The upgrading of Newcastle United Football Club ’ s home ground with high efficiency Tamlite LED lighting products has yielded a remarkable two-thirds reduction in energy consumption .
Like senior personnel at many other major sports venues across the UK , the technical team at St James ’ Park have become increasingly cognisant of the energy efficient , cost saving benefits of the latest LED lighting technology . Accordingly , the stadium is currently in the midst of a multi-phase LED upgrade project based around products from Tamlite Lighting . In time , the redevelopment will cover every area of the venue and encompass several thousand fittings in total .
In the latest phase of work , installation contractor Direct Technology UK has brought Tamlite LED products to the Bamburgh Suite – which is reportedly the largest function suite in the North West – as well as the underground car park , executive boxes and various staff areas . Once again , the installation has delivered a very immediate improvement in lighting quality , while the expected energy savings exceed 60 per cent in some areas of the site .
