LED Lights for Squash and Racquetball Courts

What are LED Lights for Squash and Racquetball Courts?

Court lighting uses recessed LED panels mounted flush with ceiling tiles or surface-mounted options, including linear LED high bays, LED canopy lights, and UFO LED high bays. These fixtures can directly replace fluorescent or metal halide systems without rewiring, as drivers adjust to 120-277V building power. LEDs provide reliable, maintenance-free illumination for years, delivering consistent brightness needed for tracking fast-moving balls.

What Are The Benefits of Using LED Lighting Fixtures versus Fluorescent Lighting for Squash Courts?

• Energy Savings: LED upgrades typically reduce energy use by 60% compared to fluorescent systems (model dependent). Courts operating 12+ hours per day often save hundreds monthly, achieving payback within 18-24 months.
• Lighting Quality: High-CRI (80+) LED fixtures maintain consistent brightness and color accuracy, improving ball tracking and visibility.
• Lower Maintenance Costs: With 50,000+ hour lifespans, LEDs eliminate frequent tube and ballast replacements, reducing labor and downtime.
• No Strobing or Humming: LED drivers eliminate fluorescent flicker and ballast buzz, ensuring smooth, stable illumination.
• Instant On: LEDs reach full brightness immediately, even in cold weather -- no warm-up delay.
• Motion Sensor Compatibility: 0-10V dimming supports occupancy-based control. Frequent switching does not reduce LED lifespan.
• Recycling: LEDs contain no mercury, eliminating hazardous waste handling and disposal fees.
• Emergency Lighting: Optional UL-listed EMBs provide automatic battery-powered illumination during outages, removing the need for separate emergency fixtures.
