Shinty Lighting: LED Floodlight Design, Installation & Repair

Floodlighting of shinty pitches is essential for extending training sessions into the evenings and maintaining pitch use throughout the darker winter months. The right lighting system improves visibility, player safety and overall playing conditions, while allowing clubs to maximise the use of their facilities.

Working with experienced lighting engineers, we design and install efficient and flexible LED floodlighting systems for shinty pitches across Scotland. Whether you are installing lighting for the first time or upgrading an existing system, we tailor each solution to suit the size of the pitch, level of play and surrounding environment. All work is completed to Camanachd Association standards.

Shinty Pitch Lighting Design

Well-designed shinty floodlighting must provide consistent illumination across the full playing surface while minimising glare and light spill. Our designs follow recognised UK sports lighting guidance, including recommendations from BS EN 12193:2018 – Sports Lighting, ensuring appropriate lux levels and uniformity.

We take into account:

Pitch dimensions and column positioning
Required lighting levels for training and competitive matches
Uniformity and glare control
Energy efficiency and long-term operating costs

Where required, we can design flexible lighting systems that allow lower light levels for training and higher levels for competitive fixtures, helping clubs manage energy consumption and running costs effectively.

Shinty Floodlight Upgrades

Many older shinty floodlighting systems still operate metal halide or early-generation LED fittings. Upgrading to modern LED floodlights provides significant advantages:

Lower energy consumption and reduced electricity costs
Instant start with no warm-up period
Improved light quality and uniformity
Longer lifespan and reduced maintenance
Reduced carbon footprint

LED systems can also integrate with photocells, timers or smart controls to further improve efficiency.
