Our process

From first idea to a perfectly lit site

Our clear four-step plan

  1. Thorough survey & tailored advice

    We start with an in-depth conversation and a site visit to understand your wishes, the use of the site and its challenges. We map safety risks, mandatory standards (such as NOC*NSF or NEN-EN) and current energy consumption in detail.

  2. Detailed lighting plan & clear quotation

    You receive a custom technical lighting plan with light-level calculations for sustainable LED luminaires. Our quotation shows the total investment and a transparent calculation of the expected energy savings and payback period.

  3. Professional installation & commissioning

    Our certified technicians carry out the installation safely, neatly and on schedule. You have one fixed point of contact, and after installation we fully test and fine-tune the system (commissioning).

  4. Lasting maintenance & service guarantee

    Our commitment does not end at installation. Tailored maintenance contracts ensure maximum service life and prevent breakdowns. If you have a question or a fault, our service team is ready to help.

Real stories, real success

Real projects, measurable results. Practice is the best proof.

  • At a tennis club, a lighting calculation showed that the old installation cast far too much light into the surroundings. OVI-Enschede installed new, efficient lighting and carefully tuned it to the light-nuisance standards. The quality on the courts improved and the light reaching nearby homes dropped sharply. Both the club and the environmental agency were pleased with the result. OVI gave clear advice and considered every sensitive spot. A professional partner we highly recommend.

  • For us, OVI Enschede is an expert and reliable installation partner that always works carefully. Their team makes sure our Lumosa luminaires are placed perfectly and are easy to operate with the LumosaTouch app. Safety, quality and sustainability are clearly central to every project. Their precise approach takes the surroundings, the standards and the well-being of local residents into account. We value the excellent cooperation and look forward to many more successful projects together.

  • At our club, Hauwert ’65, OVI replaced three floodlight masts and fitted two training pitches with modern LED lighting. Afterwards they came back to measure the light levels on and beside the pitch, so the surrounding homes would not be disturbed. Their professional approach inspired confidence and the result is exactly what we hoped for. Thanks to the new lighting, we now train under clear, even and energy-efficient light. We are very satisfied and hope to work with OVI for a long time to come.

What are the main advantages of LED sports field lighting over conventional lighting?

LED sports field lighting gives more light for less energy, lasts much longer and needs considerably less maintenance than conventional luminaires. In practice, sports clubs save 50–70% on energy, depending on the old installation and how it is used. LED also offers better light quality (uniformity, colour rendering), and the installation can often be dimmed or switched to scenes for training, matches or events.

Does your lighting meet the NOC*NSF and NEN-EN 12193 standards?

Yes. When we design a lighting installation, we follow the NOC*NSF guidelines and the European standard EN 12193 for sports lighting. That way the pitch falls into the right lighting class (for example training only, regional competition or national and top-level competition), and illuminance (lux), uniformity, glare and colour rendering stay within the required limits.

Which sports and facilities does OVI Group light?

OVI Group designs, supplies and installs lighting for, among others:

  • football pitches, artificial turf pitches and stadiums
  • hockey, tennis, korfball and athletics facilities
  • ice and inline skating tracks
  • car parks, business parks and logistics hubs
  • general site lighting and public lighting

We work with high-quality LED luminaires from brands including Philips (Signify) and AAA-LUX, so we have the right solution for every situation.

Roughly how much can we save by switching to LED sports field lighting?

The exact saving depends on the current system, the burning hours and energy prices, but in many cases:

  • energy use: up to 50–70% fewer kWh
  • maintenance costs: much lower thanks to the long life of LED and fewer lamp replacements
  • total operating costs: considerably lower over the life of the installation

In a lighting plan with a savings calculation, we set out the expected energy savings, maintenance costs and payback period clearly.

Is our sports club eligible for a BOSA subsidy on LED sports field lighting?

Many Dutch amateur sports clubs can receive a subsidy on investments in LED lighting and sustainability through the BOSA scheme (Stimulering bouw en onderhoud sportaccommodaties).
Under the 2024–2028 scheme, typically:

  • 20% subsidy is granted on construction, maintenance and the purchase of sports equipment;
  • and an additional subsidy (up to approx. 30% in total) on sustainability measures, including energy-efficient LED sports lighting.

The exact percentages and budgets change every year. We help clubs assess whether they are eligible and can help gather the information needed for the application. For the latest conditions, we always refer to the official BOSA information from RVO and DUS-I.
