Notes:

Vertical illuminance refers to illuminance towards a fixed or field camera position.
Vertical illuminance uniformity for field cameras can be evaluated on a camera-by-camera basis
and variation from this standard will be considered.
In all classes, the glare rating is GR ≤ 50 for players on the pitch within the player primary view
angle. The glare rating is appropriate when the player view angles are met.
