WREXHAM AFC has confirmed that the planning application to replace the existing floodlights at the Racecourse Ground has been approved.
The illustration (further down below) shows the relative position of the new floodlight scheme against the existing towers.
The new floodlight scheme will be capable of delivering a consistent 1500 lux to meet UEFA’s category four stadium requirements, the club says.
But, it can also be programmed to deliver a lux level of 350, the requirement of the National League, and any level between.

The Club has tendered the project and are awaiting the final costs to be confirmed.
No start date is as yet confirmed, although it is envisaged that the new towers will be in place before the end of the season.
A spokesperson for Wrexham AFC said: "The Club would like to thank all those connected with the successful application from both our Design Team and Wrexham County Borough Council."
