Illumination of outdoor tennis courts is crucial for the players’ and spectators’ enjoyment. The right amount of light provides visibility and magnifies safety and fun during a match in poorly lit conditions.
Key Considerations for Outdoor Tennis Court Lighting
Lighting of outdoor tennis courts involves consideration of many factors to achieve optimal conditions. Here is how the ST11 lighting satisfies those essential requirements.
Ensuring Visibility and Performance
Effective lighting is essential so that the players can give their best performance. It allows them to see the ball clearly, judge its path accurately, and finally, put it there with precision. Good illumination eliminates shadows and glare, thus players will be able to perform at a high level no matter what the time of day is.
Controlling Backlight and Glare
Living conditions in the surroundings of outdoor venues for tennis courts, require consideration of light pollution. Our lighting solutions give priority to backlight control to alleviate disturbances to neighboring homes. We aim to keep glare from the fixtures to a minimum to enhance comfort to players and spectators.
Meeting Lighting Level Standards
Different levels of illumination are necessary for different types of tennis courts for the purpose of optimal visibility. The following are the supervisions for illumination level classifications.
- Class I: Professional, international, national, and collegiate events require 1000-1250 lux (100 fc).
- Class II: College, regional, municipal clubs, and residential courts need 600-750 lux (60 fc).
- Class III: Normal courts for schools, Dinners, school courts, park courts, and private courts should have 400-500 lux.
- Class IV: Parks and recreational areas require 200-300 lux (20 fc).
Vision testing norms can entail staying able to detect the ball efficiently and evaluate its speed and traveling path as well.
Advantages of the ST11 Lighting System
Backlight Control with House-side Shields
A STINGRAY (ST11) incorporates a housing-side shield with glare elimination to minimize light trespass, minimizing light pollution to its neighbors.
The lighting solution facilitates visibility enhancement by having great contrast between the ball and its surroundings and even light distribution across the court. This ensures illumination of service areas and playing zones, which creates a sound playing experience.
Versatile Beam Angles for Various Installations
The ST11 is suitable for any court configuration because it can be installed on brackets, vertical square or round poles, or horizontally to adapt it for different beam angles.
A well-designed lighting system may elevate an outdoor venue to a more legitimate level in which players and spectators participate by creating visibility, safety, and compliance with lighting standards.
