Whether Hockey clubs are playing at a recreational or elite level, great facilities are the foundations of a great game. The right lighting is key for player safety and spectator experiences, and to support cost reductions and environmental responsibility objectives.
Our short guide on Hockey Pitch Lighting offers insights to help clubs achieve the best lighting results for non-televised games.
For both televised and non-televised venues alike, different lighting levels are required in order to ensure an optimal playing and viewing experience. In this section, we provide a brief overview of the various recommendations in play at different levels.
Non-televised
Recommendations here apply to any non-televised outdoor hockey venue, Hockey5s, and training pitches. Guidance is divided into three categories:
• Class I - 500 Lux
Class I guidelines provide lighting recommendations for any venue hosting high-level national and international competitions.
• Class II - 350 Lux
Class II guidelines provide lighting recommendations for any venue hosting club-level competitions and training.
• Development and community-level training - 200 Lux
At this level, recommended levels can be achieved by switching or dimming Class I or Class II standard lighting solutions.
The specific recommendations for each of these levels is as follows:
| Recommended Lux levels | Maintenance Factor |
Glare rating |
CRI | Colour Temperature | |
| Class I | ≥ 500 Lux | 0.9 | <50 | >65 | >4000 |
