Lighting for an athletic track, need to ensure good visibility for athletes, competition judges and team officials, to see clearly all that
is going on in the competition or training area, so that they can produce their best possible performances, and make their accurate decisions.
Spectators should be able to follow the performances of the athletes and other actions in a comfortable environment, they must be able
to see the field area and immediate surroundings well. The lighting should also ensure the safety for spectators to enter and leave.
A horizontal illuminance suitable for the required level of activity is the only necessary lighting to provide when athletics facilities are to be
used for non-televised activities.
