Indoor Sport Court Lighting

The Sports Interiors Approach to Applying LED Lighting

The goal of any indoor tennis lighting system is to have the highest possible light levels with as little visual disruption to the players as possible.

In order to achieve this, the best strategy for a facility to take is to look to a company that specializes in, and has extensive experience, working with a variety of indoor structures and providing customized solutions to meet the needs of the end users.

Indoor sport court lighting is a specialized lighting solution designed to illuminate indoor tennis courts and other sports facilities. With proper court lighting, players can see the ball clearly and accurately, optimizing their performance during every match. Great lighting also ensures anyone by the court can watch those matches easily.

Superior indoor sport court lighting improves visibility, which is why our team uses their decades’ worth of expertise to install LED lights with precision and custom solutions.

Indoor lighting delivers more than good looks—the right lighting reduces the risk of accidents and injuries on the court. Having the ability to see the equipment and players on the court ensures a safer environment for players.

Not all tennis facilities are the same, and not all expectations at each facility will be the same. It is important for you as a key stakeholder to decide exactly what your expectations are of a new lighting system and what you want to achieve with the new system.

Sports Interiors partners with Cree to manufacture the LED Fixture we use for indoor tennis applications. The LED Fixture delivers energy savings, better quality light, and maintenance-free operation compared to more traditional forms of incandescent light we’ve seen used for indoor tennis facilities.

• A foot candle is a measurement of light intensity. One foot candle is defined as enough light to saturate a one-foot square with one lumen of light.

• Our team of experts recommends that when testing light levels for an indoor tennis court you should follow a 15-point method to efficiently record levels at your facility. These readings should be taken with a light meter in order to follow standard practice within the tennis community.

• Sports Interiors has both the capability to provide before and after readings on all projects as well as offer guidance on quality of light based on an individual club evaluation.
