UNIVERSITY


The University won an SGL BU50 to trial


When we are looking to invest in a new machine, where possible, we will have on-site demos to help us choose the best machine for the job


competition to win a three-month trial of the BU50 - the first grow light in the basic line range from SGL. Luckily, Loughborough University was chosen out of almost one hundred competitors and is the first-ever school to use SGL grow lights. “We have always talked about having something to help aid this particular pitch, and we were going to Saltex to see if there were any small rigs we could look at buying. We obviously do not have the kind of budget that will


stretch to buy the bigger rigs that you see in the Premier League. We went over to the SGL stand and saw the competition was on so I put our name down. I couldn’t believe it when we got the call to say we had won and we started the trial last December.” With the rig needing to be assembled on- site - which allows SGL to cut the costs on delivery) - I asked Kris was it easy to put together? “It arrived on a couple of pallets and, with help from Tom Grafen -


SGL’s Technical Sales Manager - we all chipped in and put it together. It was very easy to build; just a matter of knocking a few bolts in … simple.”


Kris has already seen some good results from the trial and is keen to invest. “With it being a small unit, we chose to use it in front of the main stand (where we have always had trouble with shade) and also in the goalmouths. We have certainly seen some improvement, but I must admit, it was hard
