Floodlights at The Amex

[Return of the Rev]

I found the lighting between step 149 - 164 a little dimmer than the lighting between step 59- 86 on the way up to the loft Also thought the away stand looked very dim

Seemed even from where I was sitting.. but if you look at the lights some appear brighter than others? Could just be an illusion based on where you are sitting though...

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Agree the lights do appear a bit dim. Have already asked the club about it. No real answer given just noted.

If you look at the players on the pitch, there are no shadows which shows the lights are top notch. Saying that there are times when it looks darker than you feel it should be but the lack of shadows prove not i guess.

Didn't notice it at all from the east.

I was told yesterday that the Amex floodlights aren't up to Football League or Premier League 'regulation standard' whatever that means (think it refers to brightness) and that they all need replacing.

I would imagine its just the bulbs the need replacing which I guess is what you mean. Surely they told the supplier/installer what was required so its down to their mess up, they must have given them the FL specs.

Not sure of the extent of work that needs doing, I heard it from a colleague whose relative did the installation.

I've heard Simon Church Candles is what's required

If this is correct, I wouldn't be too surprised... from WSU it definitely appears DIM over on the East side.

If true I can't say I'm surprised as I've thought the pitch is not well lit by modern standards.

I do wonder how on earth could it get this far with the lights being sub-standard though?

If the floodlights weren't bright enough then it's odd that having shown two night games, Sky were then happy to show another one.

 

[Fungus]

While they're at it, can they put some lampshades behind them? From the top of the WSU, the backs of the lights are too close to line of sight to the pitch.

 

[Springal]

Suprised if true, especially as the FA have been using it as a base, to show other country FAs, an example of a top standard for a 25k~ seater stadium, as well as hosting that England game ?

The East side of the pitch does look less bright to me from the WSU
