Danie Craven Stadium Shines with a World-Class Lighting Upgrade

BEKA Schréder is proud to have delivered a comprehensive LED floodlighting and lighting control solution for the iconic Danie Craven Stadium in Stellenbosch, Western Cape, South Africa.

Located within Stellenbosch University’s renowned sporting precinct, Danie Craven Stadium has been a cornerstone of South African rugby since 1979. With a seating capacity of 16,000 spectators, the stadium has hosted countless memorable rugby encounters, including numerous Varsity Cup fixtures, South Africa's premier inter-university rugby competition.

As part of a recent stadium modernisation programme, the venue underwent a significant floodlighting upgrade, complemented by the introduction of an advanced lighting control system. Designed to meet modern international broadcasting standards, the new solution enhances on-field visibility, improves the spectator experience and supports the demanding requirements of high-definition television broadcasting. The upgrade also strengthens the stadium's ability to host premier local and international sporting events.
