Stade de l’Ill, located in the city of Mulhouse near the Ill River, is a historic multi-sport venue known primarily as the home stadium of FC Mulhouse. Since its inauguration in 1979, the stadium has hosted a wide range of football competitions, including major fixtures across the French football league system. FC Mulhouse, one of France’s older clubs with a long regional legacy, played many of its key competitive matches here during its campaigns across Ligue 2, Championnat National, and other national divisions.
Beyond football, Stade de l’Ill is also configured to support athletics events. The integrated running track and field zones allow the venue to accommodate regional athletics competitions, training programs, and community sporting activities, making it one of the most versatile stadiums in eastern France.
To maintain its role as a multi-event venue, Stade de l’Ill has undergone several renovation phases:
• Structural upgrades： Modernization of terraces and seating structures designed to enhance spectator comfort and safety.
• Pitch enhancement： Improvements to turf quality and drainage systems to ensure match-play stability under varying weather conditions.
• Athletics facilities： Resurfacing of the running track and modernization of field-event installations to support certified athletics competitions.
• Lighting and visibility improvements： Periodic enhancement of illumination systems and digital display elements to support evening fixtures and media requirements.
• Operational upgrades： Renovated locker rooms, athlete zones, and updated technical infrastructure aligned with evolving federation standards.
Today, Stade de l’Ill remains an essential component of Mulhouse’s sports infrastructure, supporting both competitive football and full-scale athletics. With its dual-use configuration, the venue presents strong potential for next-generation lighting modernization. High-uniformity MECREE LED sports lighting could significantly enhance football visibility, improve athletics event performance monitoring, and increase energy efficiency for year-round, multi-event operations.
The stadium continues to serve amateur and professional sports communities, positioning itself as a core venue for sporting development in the region.

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.
