There are a few things to consider when choosing the right lighting for sports stadiums: lumens required, flicker free illumination, anti-glare capabilities, installation height, color temperature, and color rendering index (CRI).
In general, higher lumens requirements mean brighter and more visible lights. Flicker free illumination is essential for preserving the quality of 4K and 8K TV broadcasts. Anti-glare features can reduce eye fatigue for sports players. Installations typically need to be high in order to light up large areas. Sports lights must also be waterproof in order to withstand the elements. Lastly, stadium lighting needs to have high mast lights that can be controlled from a distance.
