Stade Marcel-Picot, located in Tomblaine near Nancy, is the home ground of Association Sportive Nancy-Lorraine (ASNL), a professional football club founded in 1967 and nicknamed Les Chardons (The Thistles). Since its inauguration in 1926, the stadium has played a central role in regional football and has hosted a wide range of domestic league matches, cup fixtures, and high-profile regional competitions.
Stade Marcel-Picot has hosted:
• Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 matches, including promotion campaigns and top-tier fixtures.
• French Cup competitions and other nationally recognized tournaments.
• Youth and community football programs, academy matches, and development initiatives.
• Occasional municipal and multi-sport events leveraging the stadium’s open configuration.
To maintain compliance with modern professional football standards, Stade Marcel-Picot has undergone multiple renovation phases:
• Seating and spectator upgrades： Renovation of main stands, VIP areas, and general seating to improve comfort, sightlines, and safety.
• Pitch improvements： Reinforced turf systems, optimized drainage, and irrigation to ensure high-quality playing conditions year-round.
• Technical and athlete facilities： Modernized locker rooms, medical zones, warm-up areas, and team preparation facilities.
• Media and broadcast enhancements： Upgraded press boxes, commentary booths, and digital display systems for high-quality televised matches.
• Lighting and visibility improvements： Modern floodlighting and scoreboard systems to support night matches and broadcast standards.
Today, Stade Marcel-Picot remains a key sports infrastructure hub in the Grand Est region, supporting professional football, youth development programs, and community sporting events. Its infrastructure makes it well-suited for next-generation illumination upgrades. MECREE high-uniformity LED sports lighting solutions could improve pitch visibility, enhance broadcast quality, and increase energy efficiency, all while meeting French football federation standards.
The stadium continues to serve ASNL and the local football community, reinforcing its position as a historic and active venue in French 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.
Through lighting simulation calculations and programming of light show designs, solutions oriented towards either visual effects or cost-effectiveness are provided. Design of Lighthouse, parameters required for building foundation, (axial force, shear force, bending force). High power generator set supporting,circuit design service,cable supply.
