How to design the lighting method of the football field?


As far as football is concerned, professional football field and football field lighting are extremely important. A professional football field must have an excellent lighting environment to ensure the visual effect and meet the lighting standards for the spectators, competition players and TV HD broadcasts. Then, do you know how to install the lighting of the football field? Is it designed? Let me introduce you some knowledge about the installation of the four corners of the football field lighting!

Four corners of football field lighting


The four corners of the football field lighting fixtures are installed in the four corners of the football field in a centralized installation manner and closely integrated with the lamp posts. Up to now, many football field lighting equipment are still installed at four corners, and four lamp posts are arranged at the four corners of the football field, the height is generally 35-60m. This installation method is more suitable for football pitches with no canopy or low canopy height. Such an installation method has low lighting utilization rate, troublesome maintenance, inspection and repair, and high cost.


The angle between the bottom row of projection lights to the center of the football field and the ground must be greater than 25° to confirm the height of the lamp post. Therefore, the distance between the lamp post and the center of the football field is different, and the height of the lamp post is also different; The center point of the bottom line of the field and the bottom line of the football field are at an angle of 10° outwards (with TV HD broadcast at a 15° angle), and the center point of the boundary line of the football field and the boundary line are extended after the two intersection points at an angle of 5° outward. The area within the triangle is where the lamp post is installed. By using a variety of projection lamps with different beam angles, a suitable illuminance distribution can be produced on the football field.



But nowadays, high-definition television broadcasting needs to have a higher and evenly distributed vertical illuminance, and at the same time, the angle of the light incident on the football field is far less than the required limit. In view of the hazards caused by the higher brightness obtained by using large and medium-sized gas discharge lamps, coupled with the high height of the traditional lighthouse (a kind of lamp post), it will inevitably cause excessive glare.


The shortcomings of this four-corner cloth lamp installation method are: the visual effect of different viewing directions is relatively large, and the shadow part is deeper. From the color TV broadcast, it is necessary to achieve the vertical illuminance in all directions while suppressing glare. Well, it is really difficult. If you want to meet the Ev/Eh ratio standard and reduce glare, you must carry out some rectification plans for the lighting installation of the four corners of the football field.


(1) Move the position of the four corners to the left and right and outside the boundary line, so that the football field is directly opposite and the four corners can get a certain vertical illumination.


(2) Increase the number of projection lights on the lamp post on the side of the main camera of the HD TV to enhance the beam projection.


(3) Add light strip lamps to the top of the auditorium on the side of the main HDTV camera.


To control the glare, it is best not to let the spectators at both ends of the football field notice it.
