What is Pickleball Court Lighting?

LED Pickleball Court lighting is a series of commercial-grade indoor and outdoor lighting designed to provide balanced and bright lighting for pickleball courts. Indoor lighting is bright and impact-resistant, designed to operate for years without maintenance. Outdoor lighting with special optics is designed to light up the courts from either courtside or on poles from up high.
