Municipal Tennis Court Lighting Case Study

In this case study, an architect enlisted CommercialLEDLights.com to develop a lighting design for an outdoor covered tennis court. With a township hearing scheduled for the next day, the architect needed to demonstrate that the proposed lighting would minimize light trespass and comply with local regulations.

The lighting designer swiftly completed the design in time for the presentation, enabling the architect to make a compelling case at the township hearing. The township approved the plan, which showcased a thoughtful approach to balancing illumination needs and controlling light spill.

60×120 Municipal Tennis Court Lighting Design

The covered tennis court, measuring 60×120 feet with a roof height ranging from 12 to 18 feet, required a precise lighting solution. The design incorporated 18 150W LED Canopy Lights, producing an average illumination level of 43.2 foot-candles (fc), with peak levels reaching 58.7 fc and a minimum of 27.2 fc. This layout featuring LED canopy lights ensured optimal visibility across the court while adhering to the township’s requirements for minimal light trespass.
