LED Tennis Court light

Tennis is a beautiful and fierce sport. The origin and development of tennis can be summed up in four sentences: It was conceived in France, was born in the United Kingdom, and began to spread and become popular in the United States. Now it is popular all over the world and is called the second-largest ball sports in the world Time has come to the 21st century, and tennis has slowly spread from outdoor to indoor，but a good lighting is essential whether it is indoors or outdoors. So what should the best tennis court lighting look like? Before talking about this issue, let’s talk about the tennis court lighting design.

Tennis court lighting standards

The lighting of a good tennis court is like air. You can't realize its existence, almost forgotten, but it is very important. However, an unprofessional lighting tennis court like haze, which not only has a strong sense of existence, but also makes people uncomfortable. Therefore, the comfort and professionalism of lighting are particularly important for professional tennis courts. If the tennis court lighting is unqualified, no matter how good the tennis court is, it will be in vain.

Illumination standards for tennis courts:

Standard lighting layout

The height of the fence around the outdoor tennis court is generally between 4-6 meters, which depends on the surrounding environment and the height of the building， it can also be increased or decreased appropriately. For tennis court where lighting needs to be installed, except for the distribution of indoor  lights on the roof , no lights should be installed in the sky above the outdoor stadium and on both sides of the end line. Outdoor tennis court lighting shall be installed on both sides of the fence at a height of more than 6 meters above the ground, and shall be uniformly illuminated from the scene on both sides of the court.

1.Standard tennis court lighting layout plan

This plan is a lighting plan for 8 tennis courts lighting , adopting standard configuration, pole height: 7 meters, light source power: 600w, lamps are HS-HM-600W-A of Hishine. 8 tennis courts lights are evenly arranged to ensure uniform illumination of the venue and reasonable light distribution. It is necessary for standard tennis courts , the average illuminance can reach more than 600lx, which can meet the needs of Official competition。

2.Economical tennis court lighting layout plan

This plan is a 6 tennis court lighting plan, which is economical and applicable. The pole height: 7 meters, the light source power: 600w, and the lamps are HS-HM-600W-A of Hishine . The 6 tennis lights are arranged according to the principle of uniformity to ensure the lighting brightness of main area . the average illuminance can reach more than 300lx , which can meet the needs of general competition.

1.High luminous efficiency

For outdoor tennis courts, high luminous efficiency is necessary, because tennis moves very fast after being hit. In order for athletes to see the ball clearly at night, the power of the tennis court lighting is required to be relatively high. If the luminous efficiency of the tennis court lighting is not high, it will consume a lot of electricity and increase the cost.The luminous effect of our tennis court has reached 170lm/w, which is rare in the entire tennis court market.

2.illumination uniformity

The uniformity of illuminance refers to the ratio of the minimum illuminance to the average illuminance on the specified surface. The more uniform the light distribution, the better the illuminance and the more comfortable the visual experience. The closer the illuminance uniformity is to 1, the better; on the contrary, the smaller it is, the more visual fatigue.If the tennis court is used to hold professional tennis matches, then it has higher requirements for the uniformity of illumination, so a best tennis court lighting design should take this into consideration

3.High-CRI for best tennis court

Color rendering is an important aspect of evaluating the quality of lighting. CRI is an important method to evaluate the color rendering of light sources. It is an important parameter to measure the color characteristics of artificial light sources and is widely used to evaluate artificial lighting sources. Generally speaking, the higher the color rendering index, the better the color rendering of the light source and the stronger the ability to restore the color of the object.This also means that the higher the color rendering index will make the picture more realistic when it is broadcast on TV, allowing the audience in front of the TV to have a good viewing experience

4.Multiple color temperatures

The temperature indicates the color of the lights. Most of the cases require 5000 to 6000K, which is referred to as cool white light. For some tennis clubs, they may want the warm white light having 2800 to 3500K.

5.Replace traditional HID fixtures

Due to the high light efficiency and low energy consumption of led tennis court lighting, the traditional HID fixtures on the tennis court are gradually replaced by led tennis court lighting. In addition, the damaged led tennis court lighting will not cause pollution to the environment, which is also in line with the development trend of people in the world for environmental protection.In terms of luminous efficiency and illuminance, our led tennis lights are completely comparable to traditional HID fixtures

6.Excellent heat dissipation design

Since the luminous efficiency of the current led lights does not exceed 20%, more than 70% of the electric energy is converted into heat energy and released into the environment. A large amount of heat energy will be generated for the normal operation of the LED chip, and then will affect the light of the led lights. The decay has an impact and ultimately affects the lifespan of the led lights. Therefore, heat dissipation issues such as LED lights have always been a major problem in tennis court lighting design. As a tennis court lighting supplier, we adopted a hollow design on the appearance of led tennis lights to increase the heat dissipation area, which greatly enhanced the heat dissipation performance of led tennis lights.

7. light pollution

As the power of stadium lights is getting higher and higher and brighter, the resulting light pollution problem is becoming more and more serious. Some residents living near the stadium often complain that the nearby stadium lights are too bright, affecting people's normal sleep.In order to solve this problem, we tailor-made lampshades for our tennis court lights, which not only effectively avoids the problem of light pollution, but also plays a role in concentrating light, which improves the utilization of light.

8.Anti-glare

Before the LED light source was used in stadium lighting, traditional HID fixtures were widely used in various large and small stadiums. However, HID fixtures have a fatal disadvantage, that is, their lights will be dazzling and cause glare.On the contrary , the led lights can solve this problem well.

9.No flicker

When conducting professional TV broadcasts of events, the Flickering problem caused by lighting seriously affects the effect of TV viewing.The current led tennis court lights are equipped with led chips, which can effectively solve the Flickering problem of lighting

10.Requires waterproof

For outdoor tennis courts, waterproofing is an essential requirement. According to the IP protection level, IP64 can meet the waterproof requirements, but our waterproof level has reached IP67. For outdoor tennis courts, there is no need to worry about water ingress.

11. Long lifespan and warranty

Since the service life of tennis courts is generally very long, this requires that the service life of the tennis court lights should also be very long, otherwise the short life of the tennis court lights will increase the construction cost of the tennis court. In addition, the frequent replacement of the tennis court lights is also a very troublesome thing and increasing labor costs.Our tennis court lights not only have a long service life, but also have a seven-year warranty, which makes our product's warranty very impressive to our customers.

12.Free DIALUX simulation

Professional tennis court lighting design requires professional DIALUX simulation. Through DIALUX simulation, you can know some information needed for a good tennis court lighting, including the location of the led tennis lights and the number of arrangements.And we can provide customers with these operations for free, provide customers with reference, and save customers' labor costs.

The cost of light

Assuming that the tennis court lights run for 8 hours a day, the total power of the entire tennis court lights is 5000W, and the price of each kilowatt-hour of electricity is $0.12 , then the electricity cost of this tennis court for a day is 5000W×8×$0.12/1000=$4.8 , One month’s electricity bill is $4.8×30=$144. Compared with the electricity bill of HID fixtures with a total power of 12000W, led tennis court lights can save $6.72 per day and $201.6 a month, which is a lot of savings.

Tennis court lighting cost

For tennis court lights, tennis court lights for different purposes have different prices. The cost of a single tennis court light for entertainment purposes is $1,000 to $3,500 . If it is a tennis court light for professional venues, the cost of a single tennis court light is $5,000 to $8,000 . This is only a rough estimate，it may be even more expensive.

Conclusion

A good lighting condition is very important for tennis courts, and a excellent tennis court lighting first requires high brightness, low energy consumption, uniform illumination and long lifespan.The led tennis lights we produce not only have high brightness, but also are very eye-catching in terms of energy consumption, because it can save our customers 50%-70% of energy consumption. In addition, our led tennis lights can also give players a comfortable light environment.
