There are a total of 8000 various sports in the World and each one of them has different specifications of the playground. Good lighting is one of them. Bright lights have truly transformed the look of the stadium and have defined every edge of the stadium precisely.

With Lux-level lights, it becomes convenient for the players to play during the stretching hours especially after sun-sets. Sports venues have embraced the lighting technology to a new level where metal halide lights have been replaced by LED bright lights.

Let us discuss some peculiar LED light requirements for a different sports venue.
Suitable LEDs for Distinct Sports
Hockey & Ice Hockey
Hockey will remain one of the outstanding and energetic sports. The 91 by 45 meters of the ground is covered by high-quality white bright light giving high lux level light but at the same time giving day-light temperature.

Similarly, Ice hockey is a famous sport which is honored sports in Canada. It also requires high-lux level light technology which is specifically provided by lightning stores in Canada which can be viewed from Ice Rinks. The brightness of the white light covers the whole ice field, which allows players to view the ball clearly.
Soccer/Football
Now, are you thinking about which light would be suitable for the indoor or outdoor Soccer playground? The light technology varies according to the size of football/soccer ground varies (i.e; indoor and outdoor soccer fields and the stadium).

FIFA stadium lighting guidelines state that the International level of World cup should have standard lighting, verticle (front face of players) of 2400 lux and horizontal (the grass) of 3500 lux. For indoor (club) or outdoor (School, colleges, etc) it should be 200 - 500 lux covering the whole field so that ball is visible by players and players are visible to spectators.
Cricket & Baseball
Cricket stadiums previously used to be traditionally designed with heightened poles. Such that if the batsman used to hit the ball high it can be visible to the bowlers and the fielders on the ground. The 150 meters ground bright up by different shades and colors of floodlights of power 2000 - 3000 lux so that it could be visible by the players as well as the spectators.
Basketball
The basketball court has a necessity of luminous light on the field than the spectator area and there should be uniformity of light in the court area.

According to the FIBA, LEDs used in the International stadiums should be of 1500 lux, covering 28.7 m by 15.2 m. For the international or national level match, LED should be 750 lux, regional level match it should be 500 lux and the last one local or college level match it should be 200 lux giving good level efficiency.
Tennis
Tennis court holds around 23 by 8 to 10 meters of space and it requires uniformity and focus of light over the players. The clear vision of ball is the most important factor in this sport, so the lustrous light should be of 200 lux per meter square units that is equal to 87400 lumens.
Sweeping off the match!
