Location: Sint-Jorisstraat 1, 2220 Heist-op-den-Berg, Antwerp Province, Belgium
Opened: 1965
Capacity: Approximately 5,000 spectators
Primary Use: Football
Home Club: K.F.C. Heist (secondary/training grounds)
De Pluimen is a football stadium located in Heist-op-den-Berg, in the Antwerp Province of Belgium. It serves primarily as a secondary venue and training ground for K.F.C. Heist, complementing the club’s main stadium, Gemeentelijk Parkstadion.
Although smaller in size, De Pluimen plays a crucial role in local football development, hosting youth and amateur matches, community events, and training sessions for professional and semi-professional teams.
De Pluimen was constructed in 1965 to support the growing football activities in Heist-op-den-Berg. Initially built as a simple ground with standing terraces and a natural grass pitch, it provided a dedicated venue for local and regional football clubs.
Over the decades, minor renovations and improvements have been carried out to maintain suitable playing conditions and spectator facilities, including:
Pitch maintenance and resurfacing
Basic spectator seating and standing areas
Upgrades to locker rooms and changing facilities
Installation of floodlighting systems for evening training and matches
The stadium’s modest size and practical layout make it ideal for training, youth development, and local competitions.
De Pluimen hosts a variety of football activities, such as:
Youth academy matches for K.F.C. Heist
Reserve team and amateur league competitions
Local tournaments and community sporting events
Evening training sessions supported by stadium lighting
While it does not host top-tier professional league matches, the stadium is essential for the club’s infrastructure, helping develop players and maintain continuous football activity in the region.
Despite its smaller scale, De Pluimen provides essential facilities for football development:
Natural grass pitch maintained for competitive play
Standing terraces and small seated sections for spectators
Locker rooms and technical areas for teams and officials
Floodlighting systems for evening matches and training
Modern lighting is especially important for training grounds, ensuring visibility and safe conditions during low-light conditions.
De Pluimen is an important part of Heist-op-den-Berg’s football ecosystem, supporting youth development and community engagement. It complements larger venues like Gemeentelijk Parkstadion, allowing K.F.C. Heist to efficiently manage both professional matches and grassroots football activities.
Upgrading facilities, including LED sports lighting systems, can enhance energy efficiency, reduce operational costs, and improve the training and matchday experience for players, coaches, and spectators.
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.
