The recommendations in this Standard cater for various levels of play and take into account the visual requirements of players, officials and spectators. Where lighting appropriate to physical training or lower levels of competition is to be provided, consideration should be given to the likelihood of the lighting system being upgraded so that provision can be made at the time of installation to minimize the cost of the future upgrading.

This Standard does not include the special lighting requirements which apply for television broadcasting (see Preface).
