Illumination uniformity

Whether the illumination of the playing field is uniform. Uniformity means that the stadium should be illuminated uniformly, and the areas should not be too bright or too dark, so as to provide good visual conditions for athletes, spectators and judges.

Glare

Whether the glare is obvious. Glare is another important factor in the evaluation of lighting quality. The generation of glare is related to the installation method, installation height, quantity and density of lamps, and light distribution of lamps.

Light and shade to coordinate

It is involved with the difference in color and brightness between the object and the background. The eye must have one of two conditions to distinguish objects in the background, that is, the background and the object have a different color, or the background and the object have a certain brightness contrast.

Field background

The color of badminton is white, and the background wall is white, which will cause the players to see the ball unclear. In order to increase the color difference between the badminton and the background wall, the lamp can be reasonably arranged to reduce the brightness of the background wall.
