Sports hall lighting

Sports hall lighting is planned to EN 12193 according to the level of competition (class I–III): training halls need lower, and official competitions higher, illuminance and uniformity. Impact-resistant (IK) luminaires against ball strikes, a layout that prevents glare and drivers that do not flicker on camera are chosen.

Frequently asked questions

Which standard is sports hall lighting designed to?

EN 12193; whether the hall is used for training or official competition (class I–III) determines the illuminance and uniformity targets.

Why does the IK rating matter in a sports hall?

To withstand ball strikes, the luminaire must have impact resistance (IK08 or higher) or be fitted with a protective grille.

Which colour temperature suits a fitness centre?

4000K–5000K is usually preferred for an energetic atmosphere.
