What Is The Best Way To Do Tennis Court LED Lighting Design?
Start with a physical drawing of your tennis court location. For outdoor locations, determine pole placement and heights. For indoor locations, map existing light locations and mounting heights. Professional lighting software models your court and tests different fixtures to achieve the perfect combination of lighting levels and light balance.

What Are The Main Benefits Of Creating A Tennis Court Lighting Plan?
The biggest benefit is finding the right tennis court lighting combination before spending money. This eliminates costly guessing mistakes. We’ve never had a customer unhappy with results after following a lighting plan. Lighting plans discover problems before installation, saving time and money.

Should I Use an Outdoor Tennis Court Lighting Layout Or A Tennis Court Lighting Calculator?
Lighting calculators only estimate fixture quantities but lack installation details like aiming, angling, and positioning. They don’t account for light balance across the court – crucial for avoiding shadows at the net versus back court areas. We check for both brightness and balance. Bright, unbalanced lighting creates poor playing conditions with shadow zones.
Do You Provide Outdoor Tennis Court Lighting Design?
Yes, we provide free lighting plans and have completed hundreds of tennis court designs. We only create lighting plans using our fixtures. Request yours at the bottom of this page.
How Do I Plan The Typical Tennis Court Lighting Layout?
Tennis courts maintain consistent 78′ x 36′ dimensions. The critical factor is light placement – pole locations for outdoor courts or ceiling mounting points for indoor facilities. We can recommend optimal locations if none exist.

Are There Any Tennis Court Lighting Standards I Should Be Aware Of?
Standards vary by usage level. Tournament courts require higher levels, while backyard and public courts need less. Here are the guidelines:
- Recreation Level: 20-35 foot candles
- Club Level: 30-60 foot candles
- Competition Level: 50-80 foot candles
- College/NCAA (televised): 90-120 foot candles
How Much Does A Professional Tennis Court Lighting Plan Cost?
We provide complimentary lighting plans with fixture purchases, while many companies charge $500-2000 for professional designs. Our plans include photometric analysis, fixture specifications, and installation guidance. This eliminates the $3000-8000 cost of lighting mistakes from improper planning.
What Information Do You Need To Create My Tennis Court Lighting Plan?
We need your court dimensions, mounting options (poles or ceiling), and desired light levels based on usage. Photos of the area help identify obstacles. Electrical panel locations and any existing lighting infrastructure details ensure accurate planning. The process takes 2-3 business days once we receive this information.

Can A Lighting Plan Help Me Avoid Common Tennis Court Lighting Mistakes?
Absolutely. Common mistakes include inadequate light levels, poor uniformity, and glare issues. Plans prevent over-lighting that wastes energy or under-lighting that creates safety hazards. We identify optimal aiming angles to minimize glare while maximizing playability across the entire court surface.
How Does A Tennis Court Lighting Plan Impact My ROI?
Proper planning maximizes energy savings by using the right number of fixtures in optimal positions. Well-lit courts increase usage rates and revenue potential. LED fixtures with proper planning deliver 60-70% energy savings versus old metal halide systems while improving light quality and reducing maintenance costs.
