Avoiding glare hazards
People's attention to the use of green lighting products has grown in recent years due to the rise in environmental awareness. These more environmentally friendly, energy-saving lamps and lanterns have gradually entered people's lives, replacing traditional lighting sources. At the same time, as people's love and participation in sports has increased, the lighting of sports venues has become more and more important.
In order to ensure that athletes and spectators can enjoy a comfortable lighting environment in the stadium, the control of glare from sports venue lighting fixtures is particularly critical. Only through scientific and reasonable design and adjustment can the sports competition be held in good lighting conditions to ensure the fairness of the results of the game and ornamental.
Therefore, in the selection of sports venue lighting fixtures, in addition to consider energy saving and environmental protection, but also need to focus on glare control function. Only in this way can we truly realise the dual objectives of sports venue lighting: both to meet the needs of the game, but also to protect the visual health of athletes and spectators. May we work together to create a more perfect sports venue lighting system!
Glare is the blinding sensation caused by uneven light distribution. When stadiums are lit too brightly, players are often left with a blinding, wobbly glow that prevents them from accurately catching the ball in flight. This blinding light not only dazzles the eyes, but also leads to visual fatigue and pain.
It's hard to focus in high-energy glare, let alone follow the path of a flying sphere. The stinging feeling gets stronger as the light gets stronger, which is very uncomfortable. The eyes experience a sensation of darkness even after exiting the light's vicinity, as though their view is being obscured. The intensity and color temperature of the glare determine how long it takes to see normally again. The time it takes for vision to return increases with glare strength and color temperature.
For this reason, it's important to avoid creating too much glare in sports stadium lighting designs. In order to prevent glare from affecting the outcome of the game, only appropriate control over light brightness and color temperature can guarantee that sportsmen have pleasant and clear eyesight throughout play.
An expert lighting system is essential to playing tennis on a court at night. It significantly impacts the experience of both TV viewers and the on-site audience in addition to raising questions about the players' judgment and the umpire's accuracy. This location strictly prohibits the use of mobile phone flash since the rapid burst of light will blind players and impair their ability to focus. Athletes from a variety of sports have been known to complain about lighting issues, demonstrating the need of good lighting for gameplay.
The bright light that the lamps themselves emit is the primary cause of the glare on a tennis court. It is possible to create this glare at various angles and places, leaving the players unable to see the flying tennis balls and only seeing a blinding glow. This visual effect may cause glare, stinging, and other discomforts that negatively impact the athlete's condition and attitude. While poor lighting can seriously disrupt play, a well-designed lighting system can help players focus better during competition.
So how do we go about avoiding glare hazards?
The overall goal of court lighting is to provide players, fans, and referees with optimal sight conditions during the game by distributing light equally around the field and avoiding spots that are very bright or dark. Simultaneously, this also presents stricter guidelines for lighting fixture layout, safety considerations, and stadium lighting design; the more professional the stadium, the stricter the guidelines.
The distribution of light from lamps and lanterns is a crucial aspect in outdoor stadiums. These venues typically have large spaces, high pole installations, and far lighting distances. To achieve good uniformity, lamps and lanterns with small angles of light distribution are especially important. Additionally, lamps and lanterns can be fitted with an optional spillover cover to prevent light pollution. Therefore, when designing stadium lighting, special attention should be given to glare and the lens and anti-glare cover that are placed in places where the stadium is bright, not so bright, and where the bright is bright. Should not be bright place is not bright.
The following three methods are typically used to directly regulate the luminaire's brightness as well as the brightness of the light in the line of sight of the human eye:
(1) Reduce the lamp's power to comply with lighting requirements in order to avoid high brightness lighting;
(%1) Install the lamp at a reasonable angle to protect human eyes from strong light;
(3) Adjust the luminaire surface brightness and reflection intensity to increase the brightness of the light source background, thereby reducing the overall environmental brightness difference.
Stadiums, whether they are indoor or outdoor, must modify the way that the light source, reflective surfaces, and human perspective interact while also selecting materials that will not increase in reflectivity. The prevention of reflecting glare can be achieved by altering the material and the interaction between the three, as well as by increasing the brightness of the top and dispersing the light equally across the room with semi-direct or semi-indirect lighting, etc. By taking these steps, you may get a suitable ratio of ambient brightness, which will make the distribution of ambient brightness uniform overall and effectively reduce glare.
