Craigieboy Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 How do they decide which bulbs point in what direction on the flood light panels so as to ensure even distribution of light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankenstein Jambo. Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Probably by pointing it at the pitch and judging it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 OK, dull lesson time as I work in stage lighting. If each unit of floodlights has 16 lamps (for example) the pitch will be divided into 16 areas. One lamp for each area, ideally the bottom 4 should light the 4 areas closest to the pylon and the top lighting the furthest away to stop the light coming in at too flat and angle and dazzling the players. This will be repeated for all 4 pylons ensuring that there are 4 points of light onto each 16th of the pitch minimizing shadows with the shadows being washed out by the lights sources from the other units. The optimum angle would be 45 degrees. Or that's how they will be focused when they are installed by the professionals, the focus will get more vague over time as they are replaced and not pointed as precisely. Pretty dull stuff really.

So, pointing it at the pitch and judging it. Any numpty could do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydney Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 The Hibs worked it out first. Probably best to ask them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibpc Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Found myself drifting off into similar philosophical thoughts as the match progressed to what became apparent was its inevitable conclusion. Several of the squad seemed to do so as well. The thrill of the cup, my foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
