Increasing the installation angle of luminaires directly behind the penalty area (as shown in the diagram above) is an additional provision against discomfort glare for attacking players looking towards the goal. Luminaires positioned directly behind the goal area should be no less than 60˚ above the goal line.

Additional guidance is provided in design guideline reference Behind goal line – luminaire mounting zone.
