Edgbaston's new floodlights were used for the first time recently when Warwickshire County Cricket Club staged its first floodlit match, against Leicestershire.
Part of the ground's recent £30m
redevelopment, the lights were switched on following the crowd's countdown by
Warwickshire’s under 11's top bowler, 10 year old Sahal Malbernkar;
Warwickshire cricketer Darren Maddy; and Andrew Morris-Richardson from
Abacus Lighting.
The state-of-the-art floodlights are seen as a big opportunity for the ground as it can now look forward to hosting more evening
matches and welcoming bigger crowds.
They were specially manufactured and installed by Abacus who were
responsible for recent installations at Lords, Kent The Oval and Trent
Bridge.
The cantilevered masts incorporate 320 Challenger 3 floodlights with precision reflector systems to ensure tight beam control.
This reduces overspill and directs light into the ground where it is needed and -
most importantly - away from the surrounding local residential area.
