Signify announced as a FIFA ‘Preferred Provider’ for floodlights
(Netherlands) – Signify has been selected as a Preferred Provider for floodlights, affirming that the brand’s sport lighting systems meet the highest quality FIFA standards. The selection follows FIFA’s rigorous evaluation process, which assesses the performance requirements of products, production, and infrastructure.
As part of the FIFA Quality Programme, Signify will contribute to driving research and development in sports floodlighting, advancing technical standards for the future.
Signify’s stadium lighting solutions are currently used in major venues worldwide and are designed to enhance visibility and consistency for players, officials, spectators, and broadcasters. High-quality floodlighting also supports critical technologies such as Video Assistant Referee (VAR) systems, goal-line detection, and optical tracking.
The company’s lighting systems are also capable of supporting pre- and post-match entertainment through synchronised light shows, adding to the matchday experience for fans.
Stadiums partnering with Signify through the FIFA Preferred Provider scheme gain access to advanced lighting systems such as ArenaVision LED gen3.5, which delivers high-quality pitch lighting, efficient thermal management and long lifespan. Integrated with the Interact Sports system, it allows for remote control and scheduling. Also available is the OptiVision LED gen3.5, a flexible solution for various venue sizes, offering excellent visual comfort, uniformity, and reduced light spill. With smart controls, it can cut energy use by up to 65%.
Signify’s floodlighting is currently being used at world-class stadiums across the globe, including Stadion Feijenoord in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, where a new Arenavision lighting system has improved the match day experience for all, and provides energy savings of 63% against previous systems.
Niels Geven, International Director for Sports and Arenas at Signify, comments: “This recognition from FIFA, which is responsible for some of the world’s most prestigious and watched sports events, is an important milestone for Signify and a reflection of our leadership in sports lighting. High-quality illumination is hugely important in modern-day sport, especially top-flight football. It’s vital for both player performance, officiating and broadcasting purposes, and an essential part of the match-day fan experience.”
