The LED140 can be positioned over sections of natural grass that need supplemental light. Sodick has documented two units at Peace Stadium in Nagasaki, where the grounds team manages warm-season turf.
Planning a setup
Share the area you want to treat and whether the priority is regular shade, a seasonal light deficit or support after a busy run of fixtures.
Positioning and timing
Move the unit to the parts of the pitch receiving too little daylight. When planning its use, consider whether light is spread evenly across the treatment area, how long that area is shaded, and how moisture, airflow and temperature change during the day. These are among the factors Sodick identifies in its report from Nagasaki.
Revisit the same areas through the season
Use a fixed set of observation points so the team can compare shaded areas from week to week. Record the rig position, lighting hours and turf condition alongside weather and maintenance notes. Sodick’s Peace Stadium report explains why positioning, timing and the condition of the grass all matter.
