SOCCER FIELD LIGHTING


SOCCER FIELD LIGHTING

Whether they are soccer fields with more than 100,000 spectators or local sports clubs with a capacity of just 100 spectators, it makes no difference. In order to receive high-quality lighting, special precautions are needed, which will benefit both the players on the field and the view from the stands. Efficient lighting systems for small and large sports facilities, as well as a better view also help to save on operating costs, drastically reducing routine maintenance costs.

How to illuminate a sports facility: the equipment

All equipment must clearly be up to standard.
As for the electrical panels, these must obligatorily include some information such as the name and brand of the manufacturer, the type, the current and the nominal voltage, the nature of the current and the frequency and the degree of protection. Regarding this last parameter, the containers, where the electrical panels are to be stored, must have an IP54 degree of protection.

For electric cables, use G7 insulating rubber and a PVC sheath.

The lamp-holder towers that have the task of illuminating the football field can have different sizes ranging from 16 meters to 30 meters and can have a truncated cone shape. Every single tower must have a so-called 'cabinet' with the power supply and protection equipment equipped with material that is resistant to both shock and electrical stress.

The rules on lighting football fields

When a competition is held with artificial light, the degree of illumination must be distributed evenly on the playing field and with the right intensity.

These are the regulations issued by CONI:

  •        For stadiums intended for non-competitive activities 75 lux; unify. 0.5;
  •        For stadiums destined to competitive activities at the local level 200 lux; unify. 0.7;
  •        For stadiums intended for competitive activities at national or international level 500 lux; unify. 0.7.

Even the referee or in any case the sports judge has the obligation to suspend or not start the game if the intensity of the lighting is insufficient. Just as the visiting team can request the reading of the light intensity on the football field and appeal if the latter is scarce.

The horizontal and vertical lighting on the football fields is very important, in fact, it must allow the public to distinguish the players and the latter must receive the right intensity of light in all directions of the field to be able to follow the trajectory of the ball well. The directionality of the LED lights must be measured at 1.5 meters from the playing field.
