As of August 2021, AS2560.2:2021 came into effect with a number of changes and improvements with their recommendations for lighting of sports facilities. This is the first major change since LED has become dominant.
One of the key points is that recommended minimum levels have been increased to provide better lighting.
To summarise the main sports, the following lighting levels are now recommended:
Soccer
[table id=2 /]
Basketball and Netball
[table id=3 /]
Tennis
[table id=4 /]
AFL and Rugby
[table id=5 /]
Bowling Green
[table id=6 /]
Cricket
[table id=7 /]
Hockey
[table id=8 /]
Those shown in green have been changed whilst those in blue have remained the same.
AS2560.2:2021 is a guide only and each sporting association may have their own requirements which may override these. It is therefore important to understand what the requirement will be prior to getting designs or quotations done.
