The task of lighting a sports field is a complex and important feature. Adequate and suitable lighting helps both athletes and spectators in terms of general safety. Poor lighting may increase the risk of injury and may even influence the course of the match played.[1] Proper illumination of a sports playing field can improve player performance, reduce injury risk and the competition may be more balanced.[2] Bright stadium lights may be distracting, but with the use of light emitting diodes (LED) lighting this can be addressed. Light Emitting Diodes (LED) lighting used in sports are different than the type of lighting used in offices and homes. The brightness of these lights are closer to the brightness of the sun and it improves visibility and clarity. It also allows for uniform lighting on a sports field which can make tracking a ball easier for instance.
