Indoor Sports Complex/Pickleball Lighting Case Study

This project involved designing and implementing a state-of-the-art lighting system for an indoor sports complex dedicated to pickleball. Our professional lighting engineers worked closely with the facility’s management to create a tailored solution that meets the unique demands of the space. The facility features 10 pickleball courts in a space measuring 150 feet by 140 feet, with a peak ceiling height of 30 feet and walls standing at 22 feet.

The primary challenge for this project was ensuring even and sufficient illumination across all 10 courts while minimizing glare for players. The facility’s dimensions required a lighting solution that could effectively distribute light over a large area without creating shadows or over-illuminated hotspots.

Indoor Pickleball Court Lighting Design

To meet these requirements, our professional lighting engineers designed a solution using 35 units of 270W 1×3 Linear High Bay lights. Each fixture delivers 37,000 lumens, offering high-intensity, uniform lighting suitable for indoor sports environments.

Fixture Type: 270W 1×3 Linear High Bay
Quantity: 35 fixtures
Total Lumen Output: 1,295,000 lumens
Average Illumination Level: 57.5 fc

Results

The installation of the high bay lighting achieved the desired average illumination of 57.5 fc, as confirmed by photometric analysis. The lighting design effectively eliminated shadows and provided uniform light coverage across the entire playing area. The facility’s staff and players reported significant improvements in visibility and overall playing conditions.
