The general requirements of visual performance and comfort in stadium floodlighting are outlined; the essential differences between the problems posed by colour television transmissions and black-and-white television are pointed out. Horizontal and vertical illuminances and uniformity are discussed, together with glare problems. Side-mounted and tower systems are considered with particular reference to colour television requirements. Design aspects of the lighting equipment are discussed in relation to the colour television camera equipment. The need for computer planning is mentioned.
