Stadium Hoki Kuala Lumpur – LED Sports Lighting & Heavy Duty Maintenance Cage for FIH Certified Hockey Field Category 2
Published by Oversea Lighting & Electric (M) Sdn Bhd (OLE)
Professional Stadium Lighting Upgrade Supporting an International-Standard Hockey Venue
Located in Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Stadium Hoki Kuala Lumpur is one of Malaysia's premier hockey venues, hosting national tournaments, international competitions and elite training programmes. The stadium features an FIH Certified Hockey Field – Category 2, demonstrating that the playing field complies with the International Hockey Federation (FIH) performance standards required for competitive hockey.
To enhance the stadium's lighting infrastructure, Oversea Lighting & Electric (M) Sdn Bhd (OLE) supplied a professional LED sports floodlighting system together with a Heavy Duty Maintenance Cage (Gondola System). Rather than replacing the existing high mast structures, the project focused on upgrading the lighting system while providing a safer and more efficient maintenance solution, resulting in lower costs, reduced construction work and improved long-term operational efficiency.
Project Overview
This project demonstrates how an existing sports stadium can be modernised through innovative engineering solutions without major structural modifications. By retaining the original high mast structures and integrating advanced LED sports lighting with a dedicated maintenance access system, the stadium benefits from improved lighting performance and safer maintenance while preserving valuable infrastructure.

OLE Champion 1200W LED Sports Floodlight
The sports lighting system installed at Stadium Hoki Kuala Lumpur features the OLE Champion 1200W LED Sports Floodlight, a modular high-performance lighting solution engineered for professional sports venues where illumination quality, visual comfort and reliability are essential.
Designed with advanced optical technology and a modular construction, the Champion Series delivers excellent lighting uniformity while minimising glare and reducing unnecessary light spill. The luminaire is suitable for hockey stadiums, football stadiums, athletics facilities, sports complexes and other professional outdoor sports applications requiring consistent lighting performance.
Key Features
- Modular 1200W LED sports floodlight
- Advanced optical lens system
- High illumination uniformity
- Reduced glare and controlled light spill
- Excellent colour rendering
- Robust die-cast aluminium housing
- Energy-efficient LED technology
- Long operational lifespan
- Low maintenance requirements
- Suitable for professional sports lighting applications
Engineering Challenge
Upgrading an existing stadium requires balancing performance improvements with practical engineering considerations. Replacing complete high mast towers would have involved extensive structural works, longer construction periods and increased project costs.
To overcome these challenges, the project retained the existing high mast structures while integrating modern LED sports floodlights and a purpose-built maintenance access system. This engineering approach improved lighting performance, reduced construction requirements and extended the operational life of the existing infrastructure.
OLE Project Scope
OLE delivered a complete lighting enhancement package designed specifically for the existing stadium infrastructure.
The scope of work included:
- Supply of OLE Champion 1200W LED Sports Floodlights
- Integration with existing high mast structures
- Heavy Duty Maintenance Cage (Gondola System)
- High mast maintenance access solution
- Technical engineering support
- Lighting system commissioning support
This project highlights OLE's capability to modernise sports lighting systems without requiring the replacement of existing structural assets.
Professional LED Sports Floodlighting
Professional sports lighting is essential for creating safe, comfortable and consistent playing conditions for athletes, officials and spectators.
The LED sports floodlighting system supplied by OLE provides:
- Uniform illumination across the hockey field
- Excellent visibility for players and match officials
- Reduced glare and improved visual comfort
- High colour rendering for enhanced visibility
- Energy-efficient LED technology
- Long service life with reduced maintenance
- Reliable lighting performance for training and competitive hockey matches
By combining advanced LED technology with the existing high mast structures, the project delivers improved lighting quality while maximising the value of the existing stadium infrastructure.
Heavy Duty Maintenance Cage (Gondola System)
A key engineering feature of this project is the Heavy Duty Maintenance Cage (Gondola System), designed to provide safe, reliable and efficient access for technicians carrying out maintenance on stadium floodlighting systems installed on high mast structures.
Unlike conventional maintenance methods that depend on mobile cranes or temporary access platforms, the gondola system enables maintenance personnel to reach the floodlights directly from the mast. This significantly improves maintenance efficiency while reducing equipment mobilisation, labour requirements and operational downtime.
Key Features of the Heavy Duty Maintenance Cage
The maintenance cage has been engineered to deliver long-term reliability while prioritising operator safety.
Features
- Heavy-duty fully enclosed steel mesh cage
- Hot-dip galvanised finish for corrosion resistance
- Safe Working Load (SWL): 650 kg
- Load tested up to 820 kg
- Designed for up to four maintenance personnel with equipment
- Stable lifting platform for floodlight servicing
- Suitable for inspection, cleaning and luminaire replacement
- Long service life for outdoor environments
The fully enclosed design provides technicians with a secure working platform, improving safety during maintenance at height.
Advanced Safety Systems
Safety is fundamental in every high mast maintenance operation.
The Heavy Duty Maintenance Cage incorporates multiple safety systems to protect maintenance personnel during operation, including:
- Automatic braking system
- Overspeed protection
- Limit switch protection
- Emergency manual descent system
- Secure enclosed working platform
- Reliable lifting mechanism
- Stable high mast guidance system
These integrated safety features help ensure maintenance activities can be carried out safely, efficiently and with confidence.
Benefits of Retaining the Existing High Mast Structure
Retaining the original high mast structures offered significant engineering and commercial advantages.
Benefits
- Reduced project costs
- Shorter installation period
- Minimal disruption to stadium operations
- Lower environmental impact
- Reduced structural modification works
- Extended lifecycle of existing infrastructure
- Easier long-term maintenance through the gondola system
- Improved return on infrastructure investment
This approach demonstrates how existing stadium facilities can be upgraded efficiently without major reconstruction.
