Overview
Selhurst Park is a historic football stadium located in South London and serves as the home of Crystal Palace Football Club. Designed by the renowned Scottish stadium architect Archibald Leitch, the venue opened in 1924 with a single stand and has since evolved into one of the most iconic football grounds in England. Crystal Palace FC, nicknamed “The Eagles,” has played at Selhurst Park for nearly a century, fostering a passionate fan base and a deep connection with the local community.
Historical Events
Selhurst Park has been host to numerous significant football milestones. The stadium was used as a venue during the 1948 London Olympics, reflecting its early recognition as a top-tier sporting facility. In 1961, it set the attendance record for an English fourth-level football match when 37,000 fans watched Crystal Palace take on Millwall FC.
The stadium’s overall record attendance of 51,000 was set in 1979 during a match in which Crystal Palace defeated Burnley 2–0. Over the decades, Selhurst Park has hosted countless FA Cup, league, and cup matches, cementing its status as a historic venue in English football.
Renovations and Upgrades
Selhurst Park has undergone multiple renovations to modernize its facilities and improve the fan experience. Throughout the late 20th century and early 21st century, stands were rebuilt, seating capacity was optimized for safety and comfort, and hospitality areas were enhanced. The stadium now meets Premier League standards, with upgraded floodlighting, media facilities, and accessibility for disabled supporters.
The club has continuously invested in maintaining pitch quality, crowd management systems, and stadium infrastructure to ensure that Selhurst Park remains both safe and modern while preserving its historic character.
Fan Experience and Legacy

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.
