Benefits of LED Tennis Lighting
One of the biggest benefits in switching your tennis court lights to LED is the massive savings in electricity usage.
Metal Halide lighting technology was invented over 100 years ago. It uses large amounts of energy mixed with gases of Mercury and Metal Halides that degrade over a few short years to 60% less luminosity.
This requires you to replace the very expensive globes on a routine basis. Along with expensive maintenance of other necessary parts such as noisy buzzing ballasts just to keep the 350 lumens required as standard for club and competition play.
Why Upgrade your tennis courts from Metal Halide to LED lights?
Metal Halide lights also take a long time and a lot of energy to warm up. They also produce their light in round arcs which means large energy wastage and unnecessary overspill into neighbouring properties. You only need to light up a court with square corners.
Savings for clubs with LED
Since 2009, LED has proven itself as a viable alternative, and is now considered the norm for all new installs, as well as retrofit projects. With a large number of highly variable LED products on the market, the challenge for the facilities managers is to choose a quality product that delivers as promised.
Essentially, the decision-making process should initially consider the existing and proposed infrastructure, such as:
- What are the limits of the existing electrical supply;
- Is three-phase supply available (some luminaires require this);
- Are the poles in satisfactory condition or do they need to be checked;
- Do the poles need to be repositioned;
- Does a lighting change require a development application or similar?
Considerations for your Tennis Sports Lighting Project
When it comes to evaluating the lighting options, it is important to consider all aspects of the physical light as well as whether it is fit-for-purpose. What Are Your Needs Or Requirements?
