Floodlighting

Floodlighting of athletics venues is generally required to maximise the use of tracks and training areas. Where athletics facilities are to be used for nontelevised activities, it is only necessary to provide a horizontal illuminance suitable for the required level of activity. An illuminance level of 100 lux is sufficient for an athletics training area. For club competition and regional events, 200 lux is sufficient and for national and international levels, 500 lux.
