Question 1

What’s IES and its ANSI/IES RP-6-20 standard?

Accepted Answer

IES stands for Illuminating Engineering Society. It has developed and published many standards, mainly on lighting design, optics, electrical, energy efficiency, etc. Among them, IES Lighting Handbook is one of the most famous manuals of IES. The manual covers standard ANSI/IES RP-6-20: Sports and Recreational Area Lighting assures proper illumination for both the spectators and participants in stadiums. It provides advice on the design of sports lighting systems covering the most popular sports including football, baseball, tennis, basketball, rugby and golf.

Question 2

What are the lighting requirements for a golf course?

Accepted Answer

Illumination levels on outdoor courts vary depending on the level of play. For recreational or amateur sports fields, such as football fields, baseball fields and tennis courts, the recommended illumination level is usually between 200 and 500 lux. For professional or televised competitions, illumination levels of 500 to 750 lux or even higher may be required. For outdoor sports such as golf, the lighting in the teeing area is sometimes required to reach 200-300 lux, but in more cases, the illumination requirement of the entire venue is usually around 30-50 lux. This difference may be related to the geographical location of the golf course, night lighting needs, and environmental protection.

Question 3

What’s the lighting standard for outdoor sports field?

Accepted Answer

The standard adopted in Europa by sports field lighting is generally EN 12193:2018. It provides reference values for sports lighting design, including illumination, uniformity, glare limit and color temperature. According to the level of events held in the stadium, lighting classes can also be divided into three categories, namely Class I, Class II and Class III. Generally speaking, ground illumination levels in venues used for entertainment purposes are usually 200 lux. Courts used for training usually require ground illumination to reach 300 lux. As for professional competition stadiums, it is recommended that the ground illumination reaches 500 lux. For venues that host international events or require live television broadcasts, the ground illumination can be further increased as needed.
