The UK sporting industry is a huge one that contributes around £39 billion to the economy on an annual basis. This is as a result of organised sporting events and those that take place on a more casual basis. Sports play a huge part when it comes to people’s mental wellbeing, both from the physical activity that is involved in taking part and also as a result of simply being a spectator. Therefore, it is little wonder that having the right kind of sports lighting is vital. The right lighting makes it safer for everyone involved to take part in sports, providing an appropriate level of illumination to the sports field or court that benefits both sports players and their audience.
From indoor sports areas such as gymnasiums, school sports halls, and even swimming pools to outdoor areas like athletics tracks, football fields, and tennis courts, each type of sporting area and each type of sport will have its own distinct requirements when it comes to lighting requirements. Getting it right can make all the difference when it comes to taking part. Poor lighting will make it harder for individuals to perform properly as it could hamper their ability to react quickly.
Sports lighting includes high bay lighting, which is used in larger indoor sporting spaces with higher ceilings, floodlights which are used outside for sports being played in less-than-ideal weather conditions or poor ambient lighting, linear and high mast LED lights. The type of sport and the area where it is taking place will have an impact on the type of lighting that you need to use. There may also be a need to consider such things as impact protection, product-specific ingress protection, and specialist optics. These will ensure your sports facility meets both national and sporting governing body requirements with regard to the appropriate lighting recommendations.
