Outdoor tennis courts provide a dynamic and exhilarating setting for players and spectators alike. To fully enjoy the sport, it is crucial to have appropriate lighting that ensures visibility, safety, and an immersive experience.
How ST11 Meet the Standards for Illuminating Outdoor Tennis Court
Here are some key considerations and standards for illuminating an outdoor tennis court, and let’s see how our ST11 can meet the standards.
Visibility and Performance
Effective lighting on outdoor tennis courts is essential for players to see the ball clearly, judge its trajectory, and make accurate shots. Adequate illumination minimizes shadows, glare, and uneven lighting, allowing players to maintain optimal performance regardless of natural light conditions.
Backlight control and Glare Control
Many tennis courts are in residential areas. A very important factor to consider is avoiding light pollution to your neighbors, so controlling the backlight cannot be ignored. Glare from the lighting fixtures should be minimized to prevent discomfort and distraction for both players and spectators.
Lighting Levels
The lighting levels on the tennis court should meet specific requirements to ensure clear visibility of the playing area. There are four standards for tennis court.
Class I: Professional, international, national, and college. 1000-1250 lux (100 fc.)
Class II: College, regional, municipal club and residential. 600-750 1ux (60 fc.)
Class lll: Club, high school, instructional, parks, and residential. 400-500 1ux (40 fc.)
Class IV: Parks and recreational. 200-300 lux (20 fc.)
These levels ensure that players can see the ball and judge its speed and trajectory accurately.
