LAWN BOWLS LIGHTING

Legacy Lighting delivers precision-engineered, bold lawn bowls lighting solutions designed specifically for Australian clubs and community greens.

Our systems provide clear, uniform illumination with controlled glare and spill, ensuring bowlers enjoy safe, consistent lighting across the full playing surface.

Purpose-Built for Lawn Bowls

Bold lawn bowls green lighting requires exceptional uniformity, controlled spill, and clarity across all edges of the green, where the majority of play and decision-making occurs. Unlike many field sports, bowls relies on consistent illumination to support accurate delivery, line judgement and visibility of bowls in motion.

Our bold LED lighting for lawn bowls features asymmetric optics that minimise glare while delivering balanced, competition-ready illumination.

Benefits include:

  • Even, uniform lighting across the entire green
  • Asymmetric optics to reduce glare and increase comfort
  • Enhanced visibility along boundaries and delivery lines
  • Low spill light to minimise impact on neighbours
  • Durable Australian-made construction
  • Designed to meet AS2560.2.8 Lawn Bowls Lighting Standards

Meeting Australian Lawn Bowls Lighting Standards

Quality lawn bowls lighting is essential to ensure bowlers can clearly see the rink boundaries, track the bowl’s path and maintain visual comfort throughout play. The table below outlines the Lighting Technical Parameters (LTPs) for outdoor and covered bowling greens, as defined in AS2560.2.3.1.

Level of Play Average Horizontal Illuminance Eh (lx) Minimum Uniformity U₁ (Ehmin/Eh) Minimum Uniformity U₂ (Ehmin/Ehmax) Maximum Uniformity Gradient per 2.5m G / UG Maximum Glare Rating GR

Notes:

  • “Covered” refers to structures defined under “outdoor sports” in AS2560 Clause 1.4.13.
  • For competition level, 150 lx is preferred where practical, particularly for covered greens.
  • If two or more greens are adjacent and lit simultaneously, U₂ may be reduced to 0.30.
