I played a key role in designing the lighting upgrade for Balnarring Thunder Junior Football Club’s home ground at Balnarring Recreation Reserve, partnering with Bewired to complete the project by early 2024. We replaced 12 outdated metal halide lights with VAILO’s advanced Zenith Gen-V LED luminaires. Working closely with Ingal EPS, we developed a custom head frame to retrofit the new lighting onto the existing poles. The upgrade increased lighting levels to over 100 lux, significantly improving visibility and reducing the club’s annual energy costs by around 25%.
