LED Padel Court Lighting

What is LED Padel Court Lighting?

For indoors, LED Padel court lighting is ceiling-mounted high and low bay LED lights. They are the same lights we would use to light up a school gymnasium or indoor tennis court facility. They provide bright, high-quality lighting to enhance the game for padel court athletes.

For outdoors, LED Padel court lights are pole-mounted flood lights or shoebox fixtures. These lights are used a lot in outdoor tennis courts or basketball courts. With proper light design, these lights will provide a bright, pleasant, and balanced lighting experience for use at night on outdoor padel courts. We also offer dark sky-compliant fixtures. If that’s what you need, let us know.

You should see significant energy savings with LED padel court lighting. You can expect energy savings to be at least 50% (if not more). It is common to replace 1000 Watt Metal Halide with a 300 Watt LED light.

You can expect our lights to last for 10+ years (or more). Most of our lights are rated for 50,000 hours or run time or more.
