现代实践经常允许业余爱好者和专业人士在相同的设施和类似的技能水平上相互竞争。随着技术水平的提高，球员和观众需要更好、更复杂的发光环境。设施的规模与游戏水平之间存在相关性。因此，设施的设计应满足最有天赋的球员，并容纳最大的潜在观众容量。本推荐规程旨在为新照明系统和现有装置的评估提供设计标准。包括空中运动或地面运动、棒球、网球、篮球和足球等主要运动，以及马蹄形投球和槌球等娱乐和社会活动的建议。 还对通用设施和多运动场馆的照明提出了建议。课程包括:良好照明的基本原理、设备和设计因素、电源和布线、照度计算、现场测量、泛光灯瞄准、照明水平的维护，以及经济分析。

Modern practice frequently allow amateurs and professionals to compete against each other in the same facilities and at similar skill levels. As the skill level is elevated, players and spectators require a better and more sophisticated luminous environment. a correlation exists between the size of a facility and the level of play. Accordingly, facilities should be designed to satisfy the most talented players and accommodate the greatest potential spectator capacity. The purpose of this recommended practice is to provide design criteria for new lighting systems and for the evaluation of existing installations. Included are illuninance recommentdations for aerial sports or groundlevel sports, for major sports such as baseball, tennis, basketball, and football as well as for recreational and social activities such as horseshoe pitching and croquet. Recommendations are also given for lighting general purpose facilities and multi-sport stadiums. Topics included: fundamentals of good illumination, equipment and design factors, power and wiring, illuminance calculations, field measurements, floodlight aiming, maintenance of light levels, and economic analyses is also provided.
