Stade Charles Tondreau is a historic football stadium located in Mons, a city in the province of Hainaut, Belgium. Opened in 1910, it is one of the older football venues in the country and has long served as an important center for local football.
The stadium was best known as the home ground of R.A.E.C. Mons (Royal Albert-Élisabeth Club de Mons), a club that competed for several seasons in the Belgian Pro League, the top tier of Belgian football.
Stade Charles Tondreau hosted professional football for many years during the period when RAEC Mons played in Belgium’s top and second divisions. The club enjoyed several successful campaigns in the Belgian Pro League during the early 2000s, bringing national attention to the stadium.
Although the club later faced financial difficulties and restructuring, the stadium remains an important venue for regional football competitions, youth matches, and community sporting events.
Stade Charles Tondreau is a traditional football venue with facilities designed primarily for domestic league matches and training activities. Key features include:
Natural grass football pitch
Covered spectator stands
Seating and standing terraces
Player locker rooms and club facilities
Floodlighting system for evening matches
Its compact layout allows spectators to be close to the pitch, creating an intimate match-day atmosphere.
Over the years, the stadium has undergone periodic renovations and safety upgrades, particularly during the time when RAEC Mons competed in the Belgian top division. Improvements were made to seating areas, spectator facilities, and technical infrastructure to meet professional league standards.
Football stadiums with capacities of around 5,000–10,000 spectators typically require reliable lighting systems to support evening matches and competitions. Key lighting requirements include:
Uniform pitch illumination
Energy-efficient LED sports floodlighting
Reduced glare for players and spectators
Lighting levels suitable for televised or recorded matches
Many traditional football stadiums across Belgium are gradually transitioning from metal-halide floodlights to modern LED stadium lighting systems. LED upgrades provide several advantages:
Lower energy consumption
Longer service life and reduced maintenance
Improved lighting quality and uniformity
Better compliance with modern competition standards
For stadiums like Stade Charles Tondreau, modern LED stadium floodlights can significantly improve match visibility while supporting more sustainable stadium operations.
With the growing popularity of nighttime sports events, professional competitions demand higher lighting quality. The glare from traditional fixtures can no longer meet athletes’ expectations for sensory experience. Leveraging breakthroughs in MECREE’s sports lighting technology, our precise light control and anti-glare designs enable athletes to perform at their peak and enjoy an exceptional sports experience.
Issues caused by unnecessary nighttime lighting, such as light pollution and light trespass, are increasingly concerning and have led to rising public complaints. Amid growing environmental awareness, lighting designers must prioritize controlling “Light Pollution” and “Light Trespass.” We are committed to addressing this challenge through innovative optical technologies.
Currently common traditional stadium lights model for some international stadiums as below:
MVF406/1800W, HNF003, MVF401, MVF403, MVF024, EF-2000, YOA56305, YOAX56400, 2kW: HQI-TS 2000WDS, 2kW: HQI-TS 1000WDS, MHN-SA 2KW 400V/956, MHN-SB/HO 2KW 400V/956, LPW2000M/D, LPW1000MB/L, LPP2000MHN-SA, LPP2000MHN-SB.
There is big problem that traditional lamps can not cannot meet the needs of 4K and 8K high-definition broadcast and huge energy consumption.
With the strengthening of environmental lighting awareness and the pursuit of high-quality lighting, there is a trend to replace traditional lamps by high quality of LED Stadium Lights.
MECREE has launched the following series of LED Sport Stadium Lighting:
MECREE’s specially engineered precision lighting control is designed to meet the needs of such users. The polarized light range of 65-73° is defined as the P73-L and A65 series products, which deliver an unparalleled visual experience while offering access to thousands of IES profiles.
Our precisely engineered optics of polarized light aim light directly onto the field of play, to shine uniformly and to minimize glare. Outdoor venues benefit from spill light control, no more skyglow and no more complaints from the neighbors.
1. Such light shield is useless,just misleading customers.
2. As tested it will cause 30% reduction of light output
3. While 70% still have high overflow
4. Unbearable strong glare
5. Waste energy,outdated reflective technology
The power supply and lamp body can be mounted separately, reducing the withstand weight of the lamp pole and facilitating maintenance.
Customized crossarms are available to meet all your existing old poles without replacing the main rod, crossarms bolt directly to light pole, easy and accurate installation saves time, ensures performance, safety and reliability,also lower the budget.
In current sports lighting projects, high-altitude light calibration is recognized as a major efficiency bottleneck. The process carries high safety risks, is prone to aiming deviations, and involves cumbersome installation and removal procedures, making it difficult to achieve the required uniformity.
MECREE’s innovative laser aiming mount was designed precisely to address these issues. It revolutionizes the workflow through three key advantages:
Easy Installation: With a simple design, it allows rapid mounting and dismounting, significantly lowering the operational threshold.
Precise Aiming: Ensures accurate laser alignment, fundamentally guaranteeing uniform illumination and compliance with lighting standards.
Efficient Operation: Reduces labor and time costs by up to 80%. Calibrating 200 fixtures at height previously took 20 days; now the same workload can be completed in just 4 days.
Choosing MECREE means choosing a safer, more precise, and highly efficient sports lighting solution.
