For a Sports stadium, What is recommended level of illumination i.e intensity of illumination? Correct Answer 300 lux

Illumination Required for Different Purposes:

  • The human eye possesses a tremendous power of accommodation and it can work comfortably within an enormous range of illuminations.
  • For example, at full noon, the sun provides about 120,000 lm/m2, diffuse day-light near a window is of the order of 600 lm/m2 (value varying widely) and full moon-light gives 0.1 to 0.3 lm/m2.
  • For reading, usually, 20 to 30 lm/m2 is generally considered sufficient, though daylight illumination is much higher.
  • Some persons can read without much strain even when illumination is as low as 3 lm/m2.
  • Because of this, it is difficult to lay down definite values of illumination for various purposes but the following summary will be found useful:
