GGL Stadium, located in Montpellier, is one of the major rugby union venues in southern France and serves as the home ground of Montpellier Hérault Rugby (MHR). The stadium opened in 1928 and has accumulated nearly a century of sporting history. It has hosted a broad range of events, including top-tier rugby union fixtures, football matches, and rugby league games, positioning it as a multi-purpose venue capable of accommodating diverse sporting disciplines.
Montpellier Hérault Rugby—founded in 1986—is one of the first French rugby union clubs to surpass 100,000 followers on its main social media platform. The club has grown into a nationally recognized organization, achieving significant milestones in France’s elite rugby competitions. With a club valuation reaching approximately $10 million, MHR stands among the more commercially robust sports organizations in the French Republic.
Across its long operational life, GGL Stadium has hosted:
• Professional rugby union fixtures in France’s top divisions.
• International friendly matches and high-intensity domestic rivalries.
• Occasional football events supported by the stadium’s flexible field dimensions.
• Rugby league matches, reflecting the venue’s multi-code adaptability.
• Community sporting programs and club development initiatives.
To keep pace with modern competition requirements, GGL Stadium has undergone multiple renovation phases and upgrades:
• Seating and stand redevelopment： Expansion and modernization of spectator stands aimed at increasing comfort, enhancing sightlines, and meeting updated safety standards.
• Elite facility enhancement： Upgraded locker rooms, strength-conditioning zones, medical rooms, and warm-up areas designed to support high-performance rugby environments.
• Media & broadcast infrastructure： Improved press facilities, commentary booths, and technical spaces aligned with national broadcast requirements for elite matches.
• Pitch modernization： Reinforced turf systems and drainage enhancements to ensure high-quality match conditions year-round.
• Lighting and digital systems： Progressive modernization of lighting units, scoreboards, and operational technology to support night games and digital match-day operations.
Today, GGL Stadium remains a strategic sporting asset in Montpellier, with a strong role in regional rugby development and elite competition hosting. Its structure and event density make it an ideal candidate for next-generation illumination upgrades, including MECREE high-uniformity LED rugby lighting systems designed to support professional broadcast standards, enhance athlete visibility, and deliver long-term energy efficiency.
The stadium continues to contribute significantly to the city’s sports culture while accommodating a diverse portfolio of rugby and football events.

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.
