History and Significance:
Emirates Stadium, one of the largest sports venues in the United Kingdom by capacity, has been the home of Arsenal Football Club since 2006. Construction began in 2004 at a cost of £390 million. The stadium hosted its first concert in May 2008 and has since served as a multi-purpose venue while primarily hosting top-flight football. Arsenal, nicknamed The Gunners, was founded in 1886 under a different name and is one of the first sports clubs to surpass 10 million followers on social media.
English Top-Flight Football Achievements:
Arsenal won the English top division for the first time in 1931, finishing with 66 points in 42 matches. Other top 10 clubs that season included Aston Villa, Sheffield Wednesday, Portsmouth FC, Huddersfield Town, Derby County, Middlesbrough FC, Manchester City, Liverpool FC, and Blackburn Rovers. Leeds United and Manchester United were relegated.
In 1991, Arsenal became the second club to reach 10 English top-flight football league titles, drawing an average home league attendance of 36,000 over 19 games. Liverpool was the first to reach 10 titles in 1977, followed by Manchester United in 1996.
European Competitions – UEFA Champions League:
Arsenal reached their first UEFA Champions League final in 2006, losing 2-1 to FC Barcelona in Saint-Denis in front of 79,000 spectators. This marked the first Champions League final featuring a London club.
Chelsea became the second London club to reach a final in 2008, defeating Manchester United, while Tottenham Hotspur reached the final later, losing to Liverpool in front of 63,000 fans. These events underscore Emirates Stadium’s connection to European club football history.

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.
Through lighting simulation calculations and programming of light show designs, solutions oriented towards either visual effects or cost-effectiveness are provided. Design of Lighthouse, parameters required for building foundation, (axial force, shear force, bending force). High power generator set supporting,circuit design service,cable supply.
