Quad Pod K65 Mobile Lighting Towers improve training areas for Epsom and Ewell Colts FC

Since 2024 Quad Pod K65 Mobile Lighting Towers have been transforming training for players of Epsom & Ewell Colts FC, a FA Charter Standard club and one of the largest grassroots clubs in Surrey.

The club, which has been in existence since 1971, runs a mixture of boys & girls teams with over 1,100 registered players in 82 teams playing across various leagues over the weekend.

Around 350 players from 35 teams train every week Monday to Thursday until 9pm at Nescot College grounds in Epsom.

The club needed to expand their training area by up to 3 times the size and wanted flexibility in the solution they chose. They first looked at purchasing the Quad Pod K65 mobile sports lighting towers because the light output was much better than other floodlights they had previously used with all the light hitting the playing surface evenly without the “pools of light and darker areas” that is common with non beam controlled floodlights.

With the help of Football Foundation funding the club managed to secure a grant to purchase 4 x Quad Pod K65 Lighting towers to revolutionise their weekly training sessions. The compactness of the lights when in stowed form enables them to fit through a standard door allowing the club to store them securely.

Our initial feedback from the club on delivery was a fantastic testimonial for the Ritelite team:

“Brett has been so helpful throughout the process with advice and guidance that it made purchasing our new lights very straightforward. They organised a demo so we could see the lights in action before committing to the order and provided on-site training as part of the installation phase which was really useful. We have no hesitation in recommending both the K65 lights and Ritelite to other grassroots football clubs.” Julian Clogg, Commercial Director

We followed up with the club in Winter 2025 after they had been using the K65’s for over a year and it was great to hear the positive impact that these mobile lighting towers continue to deliver. 

“As a grassroots football club, investing in high-quality lighting is crucial for keeping our teams training throughout the winter months. The Ritelite K65 towers have exceeded every expectation. They provide exceptional, even illumination across the pitch with virtually no light spill, which has been a huge benefit for us and our numerous teams using them at the club.

The towers are incredibly easy to set up and move, allowing one person to deploy them safely within minutes. Their efficiency has noticeably reduced our running costs, and the quality of light has significantly improved the training experience for all age groups.

We couldn’t be happier with the performance, reliability, and overall value the K65 units have delivered. They’ve genuinely transformed our club’s ability to offer safe, consistent, high-quality training all year round and we would recommend them to other clubs.” Julian Clogg, Commercial Director
