LED Lights for Padel Courts

What is LED Padel Court Lighting?

Indoor padel facilities use ceiling-mounted high and low bay LED systems similar to those in gymnasiums and recreational centers. This lighting approach is also used for tennis and pickleball courts, providing the bright, consistent illumination padel athletes need.

Outdoor courts require pole-mounted LED floodlights or shoebox fixtures, which are also suitable for tennis and basketball. Professional lighting design ensures balanced illumination for outdoor padel courts, making them playable after dark. Dark sky-compliant options are available for regulated areas.

What are the Benefits of Using LED Paddle Ball Court Lights?

Modern LED systems offer key advantages over older metal halide technology.

• Energy Efficient - Electricity costs can drop by 50% to 75% when upgrading from metal halide, depending on your current system and usage. Courts operating 8-12 hours daily see significant utility savings that help offset installation costs.
• Powerful Lighting - Advanced LED optics provide high lumen output with controlled beam patterns. A 150W LED fixture can outperform a 400W metal halide, improving light distribution across the court.
• Lower Maintenance Costs - LED technology eliminates bulb and ballast replacements, reducing maintenance costs by thousands of dollars annually, depending on installation.
• Slow Lumen Depreciation - LED fixtures maintain over 90% brightness after 50,000 hours, model dependent. Metal halide alternatives lose up to 30% output in half that time.
• Instant On - LEDs reach full brightness immediately, with no warm-up period, ensuring uninterrupted gameplay and efficient scheduling.
• High-Quality Lighting - Consistent 5000K daylight color temperature and high CRI output maintain uniform lighting without color shift over the fixture's lifespan.
• Superior Player & Fan Experience - Uniform illumination removes harsh shadows and dark spots, improving ball tracking and spectator visibility from any angle.
