I E S LIGHTING HANDBOOK
The beam spreads indicated in Fig. 12-14a for the various pole locations
are intended as a guide. Equally satisfactory results may be obtained in
each of the indicated zones of pole locations by using combinations of
narrow beam and wide beam reflectors provided they are properly selected
and aimed.
A typical spotting or aiming diagram is presented in Fig. 12-1 la, cover-
ing a Class C installation on ten poles erected 20 feet from the side lines.
Figure 12-14c shows a night view of a typical Class A football field
lighted by approximately 140 floodlights.
Baseball. Baseball presents a severe though not prolonged seeing task.
The ball is small, moves rapidly, and is viewed at varying distances against
variable background brightnesses. The necessity for concentration is
intermittent. The large number of possible observer locations and the
probability that observer-players will be in motion introduce difficulties
