Horticutral Lighting
Archery is one of the oldest sports in the world, dating back to ancient times when people used bows and arrows for hunting and warfare. Today, archery is a very inclusive sport for all ages, and people with disabilities can participate. And it is even part of the Olympic Games. If you want to do an outdoor archery field project, high-power lighting for the entire field is one of the essential pieces of equipment.
Archery Lighting Standards: Lux & Uniformity
To ensure that archery competitions can be held safely and effectively, proper lighting must be installed on the outdoor range. The lighting standards for archery ranges are based on the level of competition that will take place. For professional competitions, the lighting must provide a minimum of 300 lux at the target and a minimum of 1000 lux in the surrounding areas. The lighting uniformity must be at least 0.5, and the color rendering index (CRI) must be at least 70.
Consideration of Flickering and Glare
It is also important to consider flickering and glare when choosing lighting for your archery range. During the competition, archers need to concentrate intensely, and even slight distractions such as flickering lights can affect their perception of the distance between the target’s face and the bow. Lighting without glare control can cause dizziness and irritation in the eyes of both archers and spectators.
To address these issues, LED lights are the best choice for archery range lighting. LED lights are flicker-free and equipped with an anti-glare and flicker-free lens that reduces glare by 40 to 60% compared to similar lighting available on the market. This ensures that archers can focus on their aim without distractions, and spectators can watch the competition comfortably without any discomfort or eye strain.
Proper design for archery lighting system.
In addition, it is important to design the lighting system properly. The outdoor archery lighting fixtures should be high-power and placed behind the waiting area for the archers. The type of beam used will depend on the size of the range. In addition, the lighting fixtures should be oriented so that the light is directed toward the targets and does not shine into the archer's eyes.
Proper lighting is critical for outdoor archery ranges to ensure the safety and effectiveness of competitions. Our LED sports lighting is ideal for archery field projects, which have a fin design with a proper gap in between to create excellent airflow, maximizing heat dissipation and minimizing wind resistance for safety, and low copper material for good anti-corrosion ability.
With the right lighting, archers can perform at their best and spectators can enjoy the competition safely and comfortably. Contact us for more details.
