The initiative comes at a time of sectoral intense dynamism, driven by the transition to high LED efficiency and a radical transformation of the national and international regulatory framework. Now, the approach to light in sports is no longer standardised. It requires a functional and peculiar design that closely integrates with the additional requirements and recommendations established by sports bodies, such as CONI and Federations. This complexity culminates in the testing and homologation process, with the Italian legislation in full development, which involves sports bodies to define rigorous standards for the validation and homologation of sports fields.<\/p>\n<p>The initiative aims to debate challenges and opportunities that await the Italian sector, and to promote the adoption of advanced lighting technologies.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Sports lighting is undergoing an unprecedented transformation. Light is no longer a simple functional element, but an influential factor for athletic performance, safety and public experience,&#8221;<\/em> says <strong>Carlo Comandini, President of ASSIL.<\/strong> \u201c<em>With &#8216;We Light The Sport&#8217;, we want to offer a technical and regulatory compass to orient among new homologation requirements and opportunities of smart integration.
