RUGBY PITCH & STADIUM LIGHTING SOLUTIONS

Designs to meet all recommended lux levels for recreational and competitive rugby.

Rugby Lighting

A uniform and bright rugby pitch will improve the likelihood of players being able to fully show off their skill-set. Subsequently, a carefully designed lighting solution will optimise the experience of both rugby players, and spectators.

Kellwood Lighting will ensure that the desired lux targets and uniformities are met for televised, professional and recreational games of rugby. Please review the tables below for recommended lux levels for your rugby pitch.
