Light up the game and its surroundings

ONE FIELD, ONE SOLUTION

Lighting plays a central role in the practice of sport, ensuring the necessary safety and comfort conditions for all those involved, from the players and spectators present at the venue to those at home watching on television.

In the case of sports complexes, this has to ensure compliance with the applicable standards and recommendations and be appropriate to the real needs of the project where, in addition to the desired quality of service, environmental issues such as energy consumption, CO2 emissions and light pollution are included.

Certified transmission

Artificial lighting has always played a key role in high-level sporting events, enabling them to be staged and broadcast even when natural conditions don't allow it. With the process of globalization and the strong growth of recent years, the need has arisen to improve the quality of service provided, allowing better conditions for sports, viewing and perception for spectators and, finally, better audiovisual perception for all those watching at home.

To this end, the various national and international bodies that oversee sport at a global level, including the bodies responsible for regulating and broadcasting the respective events, have been making efforts to standardize and control the quality of the service provided, the results of which are published in the various applicable regulations.

In addition to illuminance levels and their uniformity, the factors that most influence the quality of the lighting system are colour temperature, colour rendering, television colour consistency and flicker.

CCT - Correlated Colour Temperature (Tcp)

The digital technology of television cameras allows video data to be processed to ‘gain’ colour and contrast in order to achieve the desired final quality.

In the case of football, UEFA and FIFA recently carried out studies to define the most suitable colour temperature for top-level sports. It was concluded that the nominal value of 5700 K is what guarantees the best possible quality of service. This colour temperature allows for excellent visual acuity, as well as greater physical and mental availability on the part of the athletes, which are decisive factors in sports with rapid transitions, as is the case here.

CRI - Colour Rendering Index (Ra)

The higher the CRI rating, the better the colour reproduction. Different bodies stipulate that for good colour reproduction by an artificial lighting system in high competition events, this rating should be higher than 80, preferably higher than 90.

In addition, saturated colours play a central role in lighting quality, especially the colour red (R9), which is extremely difficult to restore at this level of CRI and a CCT of 5700 K. Our solutions offer an R9 value of 80 or more, a value considered to be excellent.

The combination of all these factors contributes to superior lighting quality. Our solutions fulfil and surpass these records, ensuring unprecedented results.

TLCI - Television Lighting Consistency Index (Qa)

The introduction of high-quality, high-efficiency LED technology has led to a series of unforeseen and possibly costly consequences for television production. Studies have clearly shown that the IRC used by the traditional lighting industry is not suitable for television due to the floating white point.

For this reason, the EBU has defined a ‘standard camera’ model, much like the human CIE ‘standard observer’.

The recommendations point to a TLCI value of over 90 in order to guarantee excellent lighting without the need for any additional processing.

GR - Glare Rating

GR is one of the determining factors in the practice of any sporting activity, especially in high competition. High levels of glare considerably affect the performance of players and other participants because they cause enormous visual discomfort and can even be incapacitating.

For activities of this type, this value should be below 55, preferably below 50, especially for high competition.

FF - Flickering

During television broadcasts we can often see that some lighting systems cause the image to flicker during playback, especially in slow motion. This flickering is distracting and considerably detracts from the viewer's experience, and should therefore be eliminated or at least reduced as much as possible.

Although the number of images per second varies depending on the technology used in the sports broadcasting industry, a lighting system with a flicker factor of less than 5% will eliminate the perceived effect for the vast majority.
