“Lighting” is the application of light to spaces. Where the light is placed, at what relative intensities, and in what direction, this can have a major impact not only on vision and visual comfort, but perception. Lighting, therefore, can impact on-court performance, satisfaction, visibility, safety, atmosphere and the local environment. It also tells a story about the facility, whether the focus is on simply lighting a space or providing an optimal playing experience.

Our Asymmetric optic technology with a 0° installation angle covers 95% of the court with a uniform light and 0% wasted light.
Light Intensity
Correct Light Intensity
Asymmetric optic technology light Can be viewed directly without glare and minimal shadowing
Note: The net has no shadow
In-Correct Light Intensity
Over-lit direct lighting causes multiple shadows around the players and net.
As a by-product is significant glare to the players and onlooking fans.
Colour temperature (Kelvin) and Colour Rendering (CRI)
The lower the Kelvin, the warmer the light. 5000K being daylight. A warmer light will cause more eyestrain with multiple hours on court.
A high CRI refers to how accurately an artificial light shows the colors of the objects (or people) by enhancing the red spectrum.
Using a numerical scale from 1 to 100, CRI evaluates the color rendition and color accuracy of objects (100 CRI being a perfect representation).
Combining a CRI of 80 and 5000K will provide a good balance of colour representation and alertness within the court.
As an example, TV broadcasting will use a CRI90+ to optimize colours.
TIP! Combining natural daylight and CRI80 from a light fixture will increase the CRI to 90+.
Product Warranty
As a general rule, a product must offer a (5) year warranty. It is very difficult to make a comparison to a product with a (3) year warranty. The likelihood of the (3) year warranty fixture failing before (5) years is very high. There are additional costs of new lighting, uninstalling, installing, recycling, and court down-time.
Useful Life
Products that carry a short warranty time very often see a significant drop in light output. As much as 30% output can be lost by the 3rd year The change is extremely slow and very difficult to notice. We recommend taking light measurements every (6) months.
Efficiency
When combining lighting control and high light output we offer complete flexibility and efficiency. The more efficient the court light is, the more energy it saves. It reduces the amount of energy you use, which means that your monthly electric bill will be less.
