Tennis Court Lighting Fixtures

Tennis Court Sport Lighting Fixture Sales & Sport Court Photometric Lighting Design Services.
The best tennis court lighting fixtures are forward throw fixtures that feature either precision optics or cut off designs that focus illumination on the court and minimize glare from surrounding viewpoints. Tennis court lighting systems should always be designed with two simultaneous objectives in mind: lighting the court and lighting the ball in play. Optimal illumination depends on striking this balance, and this balance in turn depends upon several other factors as follows:

1. The number of light poles
2. The physical location of lighting poles
3. The type of lighting fixtures attached to poles
4. The number of fixtures per pole
5. The proper number of footcandles
6. The purpose of the court
7. The physical size of the court

When each of these factors is properly balanced against the other, a uniform distribution of the light and non-glare optics can be created. Optimal tennis court lighting should cover the entire court and extend approximately 6' beyond the sidelines and 10' behind the base lines. Metal Halide luminaries are the most common HID source used for tennis court lighting.

Selecting the Right Tennis Court Lights, Poles, and Accessories

Customers can find individual lighting fixtures, supplies, and individual light poles and lamps in our online store. Typically, tennis lighting fixtures come equipped with a 1000 watt, Metal Halide bulb.

Tennis Court Fixture Mounting Methods

In tennis court lighting you can choose between low-mast and high-mast pole configurations. Generally speaking, residential tennis court lighting is better accomplished with low-mast lighting, while high mast lighting is used in areas where higher light levels are required. Low-mast systems used in conjunction with sharp cut-off luminaries produce good uniformity, low glare, reduced amounts of spill light and are relatively easy to maintain.

Country clubs, resorts, five star hotels, and municipal parks can select from over 40 sports lights specifically designed for tennis courts.
