Barrie replied to a post on twitter last night saying the new floodlights make us UEFA compliant and then said watch this space.. I can only think they'll end up being "disco lights" as well. Interestingly the reply has disappeared since

Seems only logical that the new led lights are part of a special effects lighting system👍💚

I think they make a big difference. It wasn’t as if I couldn’t see previously but I always felt it was a wee bit dark before.

The penalty box areas appeared to be a lot brighter tonight, but perhaps it was the angle but I didn't think the middle of the park was as bright in comparison? May look totally different from a central position of course.

That’s how I saw it too regarding the centre of the pitch from middle of the east

I wanted to take my coat off! Mind the locals also had wee comfy portable cushions with them as well. Different!

Re the lights tonight - what a difference!

Not on Hibs TV it didn’t, it looked very patchy to my ageing eyes. Some areas of the pitch looked well lit, other parts looked like they were being lit by a 40 watt bulb. Maybe they haven’t fully installed them all yet 🤷🏼

Nah it clearly looked ALOT more lit on Hibs TV. Maybe you need to adjust your tv settings! The new hybrid pitch also looked absolutely immaculate and like a carpet!

It was WAY brighter in the stadium. Which is where it matters.

All we need now is a big concert to complete the hybrid pitch installation.

I think they had turned some of the original lights off, certainly before kick off there was a few on the East not on, i didn't notice during the game if they came on or not.

No, they left them off, did the same on Saturday. I was in the east almost on the half way line last night and I can't say I noticed any of the pitch being darker than the rest as some folk are saying.

If you understand exposure in a camera it looks like the light was brighter by 1 2/3 stops. 1 stop essentially means a doubling of light so a huge difference in the amount of light on the pitch. It looked fantastic last night. I do wonder if the lights catch the players eyes when the ball is high in the sky.

They are brighter and cheaper to run. I can imagine that we will replace all of the ones on the West and East stands either at the international break or the end of the season.

So it's a cunning plan to distract the yams when they play their goofball, well done Hibs 😁

I thought the opposite. They'll be able to see what we're up to!

I suspect your eyes are dodgy bud. Noticeable difference in brightness at the game.

The new floodlights make the stadium look incredible.

It was a bit of a shock when they turned them on today. Took a minute for my eyes to adjust.

Was literally like someone switching a light on when they switched them on!

Usually take a while to warm up.

On the big screens/TV it looks a lot darker compared to the brightness for real inside stadium.
