What is LED Lighting Supply Gymnasium Lighting?

There are 2 types of gymnasium applications. The first type is in a school where sports are played. The second is a fitness center, boxing club, workout space, yoga gym, or weight-lifting gym.

A school gym needs robust impact resistance lights able to take a direct hit from a ball and still work. Fitness center gyms need bright, customer-friendly lighting that’s inviting. And can attract clientele.

For school gyms, a good recommendation is UFO lights. They are round, robust, powerful, and impact-resistant gymnasium lighting. They are a great replacement for metal halide lighting and the energy efficiency of these fixtures will reduce your lighting costs.

For fitness centers, there are more LED lights for gymnasium options available. From UFO High Bays to linear high bays, and for lower ceiling facilities, low bay LED lights or grid panel lights. These commercial gym lighting solutions are designed to provide bright, balanced, and high-quality lighting. Our lights are designed for both high ceilings and low-ceiling facilities and will add a professional touch to the interior.
