Musco Lighting will provide LED sports lighting for Emirates Stadium

New floodlighting system will deliver superior efficiency and light control

Holloway, London – Arsenal Football Club has selected Musco Lighting to install new LED floodlights at Emirates Stadium in time for next season.

As the third largest football stadium in England - with a capacity over 60,000 - Emirates Stadium needed a lighting provider that shared a mutual commitment in providing a superior player and fan experience. After a comprehensive evaluation process of floodlighting manufacturers, Musco, the global leader in LED sports lighting, was chosen as the ideal partner for this project.

Musco’s proposal meets our needs for top quality lighting within the ground on matchdays and varied in-stadia events.” Installation of the new LED sports lighting system will be undertaken during the summer and will be ready to be switched on for the start of the 2015/16 season.
