Zell's Artificial Turf Field Upgrades to Energy-Efficient LED Lighting

Tue 15th Apr, 2025

The public artificial turf field in Zell has recently undergone a significant upgrade with the installation of a new energy-efficient LED lighting system. This transition not only aims to reduce energy consumption but also plays a crucial role in minimizing light pollution in the surrounding areas.

Local officials have expressed their commitment to enhancing energy efficiency, underscored by their recognition as a model community in energy accounting. The initiative reflects a broader strategy to conserve resources while providing quality recreational facilities for residents.

The newly installed LED lights are designed to offer optimal illumination on the playing field while significantly reducing stray light that could affect nearby regions. This upgrade is projected to save approximately EUR3,500 in electricity costs annually, showcasing a practical approach to sustainability in community sports.

By prioritizing environmentally friendly technologies, Zell is setting a benchmark for other municipalities. The move to LED lighting aligns with global trends towards sustainable practices in public facilities, contributing to a greener and more responsible future.
