Footcandles & Lux - what does fc & lx feel like in sports lighting? How many footcandles?

Footcandles & Lux - what does fc & lx feel like in sports lighting and other places? How many footcandles do i need?
Lumens is the total light from a fixture. Footcandles (fc) is a measurement of light at a certain point on the ground or elsewhere. Lux (lm) is the metric version and is always 10 times footcandles.
Understanding what a 10 foot candles (100 lux) actually feels like versus a 30fc is important when deciding how much light you need.
Sports applications usually require 20-50 footcandles ( unless you are MLB and need 250fc.) For the rest of us 30-60 is good lighting. Going from 20 to 60fc outdoors can increase the cost significantly so its important to know what you actually need.
Indoor lighting is usually 30 on the low end and 80 on the excellent side. Getting to 60fc or 600lx is much easier indoors. More important indoors is to makes sure its even with low glare

What would be a quote for a practice soccer field lighting & what would you recommend

[@LedLightExpert]

For a quote, give us a call to speak with one of our light designers to go over your specific application, 800-674-9420 and press 1 at the prompt. Lots of factors to consider to figure out how many lights and which lights will be best for your application to get an idea on a quote. We can also do photometric studies to get a computer simulation of the final results to get very specific and this is often recommended for sport field applications. Our light designers can get you a rough estimate once they have some additional information on your project.

How many footcandles for a backyard sport court? How many lumens is that?

[@LedLightExpert]

Most backyard sport courts we are seeing in the 15-20fc range but sport courts vary depending on the specific application based on the proximity of neighbors and factors such as pole or install locations. Always a good idea to speak with a light designer to go over your application to make sure you are happy with the end results. We have light designers on staff to help with projects like this, feel free to give us a call at 800-674-9420.
