LIGHT YOUR CLUB
Standards for lighting a football field are governed by a range of national and international bodies, depending on the level of play planned for the club.
Training and two levels of competition matches are governed in Europe by both national football associations and the European standard EN12193:2007, which stipulates a minimum lighting level for each class of 75 lux, 200 lux and 500 lux for Classes III, II and I. National football associations, for instance the
English FA, stipulate a separate minimum level of 120 lux for club entry level competition lighting, as well as a regional competition level of 350 lux.
At a higher competition level,
UEFA in Europe and
FIFA worldwide, state minimum levels for colour television lighting (CTV) which range from 1,200 to 1,400 vertical lux levels. (Higher levels for HDTV are also beginning to be seen).
