Pitch Management
Smart LED Turf Lighting & ManagementSpeciality

Rhenac develops intelligent LED lighting and integrated turf care solutions that help professional sports venues optimise the growth, recovery and resilience of natural and hybrid playing surfaces.

Built on more than 12 years of plant research and collaboration with the Technical University of Munich, Rhenac’s patented Complete Light Spectrum (CLS) technology replicates the full spectrum of natural sunlight, delivering precisely tailored light for different stages of turf growth and recovery.

From fully automated stadium systems to flexible mobile lighting units, Rhenac combines lighting, monitoring, automation and agronomic expertise to help grounds teams maintain high-quality playing surfaces throughout the year, regardless of weather conditions, stadium architecture or playing intensity.

Our expertise

Rhenac helps stadium grounds teams create the optimal growing conditions for natural and hybrid pitches through a combination of plant science, intelligent LED technology and data-driven turf management.

At the heart of its solutions is the patented Complete Light Spectrum (CLS) technology, which can reproduce the full spectrum of natural sunlight and provide different light recipes depending on the specific needs of the turf, from germination and root development to recovery and stress resistance.

Integrated sensors, monitoring and AI-supported control enable grounds teams to better understand pitch conditions and optimise lighting and other turf inputs based on real-time data.

For ESSMA members, Rhenac combines scientific research with practical stadium experience, helping venues improve pitch quality, accelerate recovery, increase playing hours and reduce the resources required to maintain a high-performance sports surface.
