Exciting news! Midstream Lighting is proud to be a preferred supplier to the Premier League LED Floodlight Fund! Funded by the Premier League and delivered by the Football Foundation, the programme will provide grants of up to 70% to support the installation of state-of-the-art LED floodlight systems or upgrades from traditional metal halide systems. These grants are available for stadiums across the National League System and Women's Football Pyramid. This will help clubs lower both their maintenance and running costs and minimise the impact they have on the environment.


The PLSF is what used to be known as the Football Stadia Improvement Fund. The programme is administered by the Football Foundation, which is a partnership between the Premier League, Football Association, Sport England, and The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.

It’s a massive honour for us to be named as one of the Fund’s approved suppliers, but there’s more to it than that. As is the case with the International Hockey Federation’s Certification programme, this is about providing clubs with a guarantee about the level of quality that they’re going to receive when they work with a verified supplier.

The PLSF is running a ‘big switch’ campaign which is designed to encourage clubs to upgrade to LEDs from outdated technologies like metal-halide and sodium-vapour. There are clear benefits to doing so, of course, from lower running and maintenance costs through to reduced carbon emissions.
