Sussex County FA leading the way as new LED floodlights are installed
To complement the recent conversion from a grass pitch to a state-of-the-art 3G surface, work has now been completed on the installation of the most technically advanced LED lights around.
The floodlights are just one set of six that are being trialled on behalf of The FA and, if successful, will be rolled out to clubs looking for a change in the future.

Sussex County FA chief executive Ken Benham is pleased with how the new floodlights look and said: "Not only did the installation take just four days, but the impact and improvements have been immediate.
"We knew of the potential benefits beforehand but they have far exceeded our expectations, and we have already had comments from our local neighbours about the improvements with the amount of light spillage reduced to almost zero.”
