The main objective when lighting outdoor bowling greens, is to not only provide an even spread of light but to maximize the lux levels on the four edges of the green where most of the action takes place. Asymmetric beam flood lighting is essential to reduce glare and ensure uniformity levels are as high as possible.
The Australian Standards for outdoor bowling green lighting AS2560.2.8, specifies 100 lux average as the required level of lighting to ensure a game of bowls can be played safely and comfortably. See below uniformity and glare requirements to meet the Australian Standard.
| LEVEL OF PLAY | MAINTAINED AVERAGE LUX | MAINTAINED HORIZONTAL ILLUMINANCE | MAXIMUM GLARE RATING | MINIMUM COLOR RENDERING INDEX | MAXIMUM UNIFORMITY GRADIENT | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| U1 | U2 | |||||
| TRAINING AND COMPETITION | 100 | 0.6 | 0.4 | 50 | 65 | 30% per 2m |
