What are LED Lighting Supply Volleyball Court Lights?

Our LED lights for volleyball courts are powerful and bright and provide a high-quality light source. LED volleyball court lights are available for indoor and outdoor volleyball courts.

Indoor volleyball court lights are typically ceiling-mounted and shine down.

Outdoor volleyball court lights are typically pole-mounted fixtures. They are either shoebox fixtures (the most common fixture) or floodlights. Shoebox fixtures with Type III optics work well for outdoor volleyball courts.

LED volleyball court lights can easily replace metal halide lights. They produce high lumen – high-quality lighting. They turn on instantly and are virtually maintenance-free.

Voltage options range from 100 - 277 Volts or 277 - 480 Volts. The best color temperature for tennis courts is 5000K. 4000K would be a second choice if you’re looking for a warmer light.

In choosing the best optics for lighting, no one optic meets all needs. It depends on your pole heights and lighting requirements. A lighting plan will sort that all out for you. A lighting plan will detail the fixture, wattage, lumens, optics, number of fixtures, and where to point them.
