Estádio do Marítimo is a historic football stadium located in Funchal, Madeira. Since its opening in 1957, it has been the home ground of Marítimo, one of the region’s most prominent football clubs. The stadium continues to host domestic league matches, training sessions, and community events.
Inaugural Match
The stadium opened on 5 May 1957 with a football match attended by 12,000 spectators, marking an important milestone in Madeira’s sports history.
Marítimo FC
Marítimo FC, founded in 1910, has used Estádio do Marítimo as its primary home venue for decades. The stadium has witnessed the club’s domestic league matches, cup competitions, and notable achievements in Portuguese football.
Seating Capacity: 10,000 spectators with basic modern facilities
Pitch and Facilities: Standard football pitch suitable for domestic competitions
Media and Broadcast Facilities: Basic facilities for local coverage and streaming
Community Use: Venue for youth development, local events, and football training programs
Upgrading Estádio do Marítimo with LED sports lighting provides multiple benefits:
High-Quality Illumination
LED floodlights provide consistent, flicker-free lighting for football matches, training sessions, and local tournaments.
Energy Efficiency
Compared to traditional lighting, LED systems reduce energy consumption by 60%–75%, while lowering maintenance and operational costs.
Glare Control and Uniform Lighting
Advanced optics ensure even illumination across the pitch, minimizing shadows and glare for players, referees, and spectators.
Smart Control and Multi-Scene Functionality
Dynamic LED modes allow flexible lighting for evening matches, training sessions, and community events, enhancing fan experience and operational versatility.
Estádio do Marítimo is a cornerstone of football culture in Funchal. LED lighting modernization can enhance energy efficiency, broadcast quality, and spectator experience, supporting Marítimo FC’s ongoing growth and the stadium’s role as a hub for local football.

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.
