DIMO Installs Sri Lanka’s first ICC-compliant LED floodlights for stadiums
The Island
|September 15, 2025
Advanced features include zoned lighting control for partial stadium use
-
Reinforcing its leadership in sports infrastructure development, DIMO has successfully completed the installation of Sri Lanka's first and second LED floodlighting systems at two of the country's most iconic cricket stadiums.
The first installation was completed at the Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium (RDICS) in 2023, followed by the second at the R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium (RPICS) in Colombo in 2025.
This milestone builds on DIMO's historic achievement in the 1980s, when it made global headlines by installing Sri Lanka's first and the world's second floodlighting system at RPICS, cementing its legacy as a pioneer in sports lighting technology.
As stadiums across the world transition to advanced LED lighting technology, Sri Lanka Cricket has also begun upgrading its international cricket venues with LED floodlighting systems. This move replaces the country's decades-old conventional systems, marking a significant leap forward in modernising Sri Lanka's sports infrastructure.

Fear and loathing across party lines
Such divisions are being reported from multiple countries. People don't just dislike the other party's policies, they dislike the supporters of the other parties as well. Consequently, relationships and social networks are being formed that are politically homogeneous. If one has friends across the political aisle, they often avoid discussing political or social issues to maintain the relationship.

As COP falters, South Asia must build its own collaborative climate platform
In this moment of reckoning, we, parliamentarians from some of the world's most climatevulnerable South Asian countries, put forward the idea of regional climate multilateralism as a concrete response to that call. We see this as a model grounded in solidarity and justice but animated by the urgency that COP30 has made impossible to ignore. Such a framework must enable South Asian nations to pool scale, resources, knowledge, and diverse climate needs, while sharing technological and financial capacities in sectors where transformation cannot wait.
