kila Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Nice that they are now cheaper to run LEDs but not quite the same brightness or coverage as the old ones I thought. The boxes were noticeably duller than the centre of the pitch and given the cost of the upgrade it's a bit disappointing. Maybe they just need to aim a few more lights at the boxes!

Hearts of Vladland Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 There is a lot less lights on each pillar than there used to be, it about half the amount that used to be there. It will have been sold at a certain light level which will have been acceptable to play at the level we play at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambos_1874 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I was at the game and thought they were really good and the pitch was well illuminated. More generally I thought the stadium looked brilliant. Looked like a number of seats had been replaced, the trusses cleaned up/repainted and the pitch looked in great condition. Only negative is the steps up to the Roseburn Stand are very corroded! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 LED is a softer less obvious light than the previous discharge lamps that were replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingantti1874 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) I thought it looked great on TV. Consistent spread of light and no dark spots Edited July 13, 2021 by kingantti1874 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hearts of Vladland Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 FWIW, I never noticed the dark spots from the Gorgie stand and I had took a interest in the lights. I found it strange the lights on came on at half time, we had the lights on most games of the last premiership season even at 12 o’clock kick offs on sunny days.

It was a dull evening and probably could've done with the lights being on during the end of the first half. By full time it was gloomy and raining and I can only assume the floodlights were on full beam because the sun had already set. I wouldn't say there's dark spots, just uneven distribution of light and the boxes, from my higher up view anyway, had less light being beamed on than the centre of the pitch, which from being sat in the goal end made the opposite goal look noticeably dimmer. But if no one else noticed then maybe I'm going mad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

August Landmesser Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I was watching on telly (the big telly) and it was noticeably dimmer in the Gorgie End penalty box than up the touchline or in the corners.

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Slightly less bright to my eyes but I am sure in the weeks to come I will hardly notice that. The savings in costs will be beneficial as they can go to boost the team on the pitch. A brighter future (sorry) for the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights were fine but the old lights really lit up the ground creating that midweek buzz. Maybe need to crank them up to 11 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Thor Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 UEFA/SFA set the lighting standards for professional clubs so i'm 100% the new LED floods will be compliant to that standard and also the requirement for HD broadcasting.

JimmyCant Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Only watched on TV and picked up on the light and shady patches. Wasn’t sure if it was the lights or just some shading in the grass colour.
