Sports facilities

The regulations applicable to lighting in sports facilities in Spain define the regulatory and design conditions to be considered when designing their lighting network, and are called NIDE (regulations on sports and leisure facilities).
In turn, Spain is one of the countries represented in the CEN, whose Management Centre defines the conditions under which the European standard must be adopted, without modification, as a national standard.
In both cases, the documents only consider artificial lighting, with the intention of collecting recommendations and requirements that guarantee that sports facilities have good visual conditions for athletes, referees and spectators, as well as for possible broadcasts by TV cameras.
As with any outdoor lighting installation, it is a matter of finding the balance for maximum visibility without causing glare, which is comfortable for different user profiles and limits disturbing light.
