There is a growing trend towards utilizing outdoor hockey facilities for extended periods of time each day, often requiring the use of artificial lighting. This not only enhances the value of synthetic turf pitches by allowing for evening training sessions and local matches, but also makes it possible to host international competition matches in the evening when more spectators are able to attend and the weather is cooler in certain climates.
High-quality lighting is crucial for sports such as hockey, where players must react swiftly to a small, rapidly moving ball. This requires even light distribution and a color temperature that mimics natural daylight.
