Simulating Field Lighting Conditions

[MentorOfSteel]

Many posters on CD have reported past woes of having their prized computer vision algorithms fail under the bright lights of competition fields. This is not surprising as even high-end vision systems are notoriously dependent on lighting conditions. We all know that testing under the right conditions is the key to success in any engineering endeavor, so has anyone figured out a good way to simulate the kinds of lighting commonly used at competitions?
