What are LED Lighting Supply Lights for Squash and Racquetball Courts?

Our lights are either in-ceiling mounted recessed panels or surface mount fixtures, such as linear high bays, canopy lights, or UFO high bays. These lights can easily replace any existing fluorescent fixture or metal halide/halogen fixture. These lights will provide reliable, high-quality lighting for racquetball and squash courts with very little, if any, maintenance required.

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

There are many differences between LED panel lights and fluorescent fixtures. Here are what we believe are the major differences between them:

• Energy savings: With our lights, you can expect upwards of 50% reduced energy costs when using LED racquetball squash lighting over your existing fixtures.
• Lighting Quality: Our LEDs are high CRI Light sources providing years of high-quality lighting and superior light distribution
• Lower Maintenance Costs: Our LED Lights are designed to run for many years with the need for bulb, tube, or ballast replacement like fluorescent troffers.
• No strobing or humming: Fluorescent lights will strobe near the end of life.  This strobing can cause eye strain and headaches. Fluorescent ballasts hum, and this becomes quite loud near the end of the ballast's life. With LED Lighting Supply fixtures, there is no strobing or humming.
• Instant On: Fluorescents are also quick, but take some time to warm up. This becomes a lot longer if the room they are installed in is cold. Our fixtures turn on instantly.
• Works well with motion sensors. Our LED Linear Fixtures turn on and off quickly – and dim – so they work well with these energy savings controls. You need special ballasts to do this with fluorescent lighting.
• Recycling: With our LED Technology, there are no expensive recycling processes because LEDs do not contain mercury or other harmful substances.
• Emergency lighting: we offer lighting with emergency backup batteries

LED Squash Court Lighting FAQs

Is it Better to Use Direct or Indirect Lighting on a Squash Court?

This question is more about glare reduction. Indirect lighting will always be the best choice if glare is an issue. However, there are options available for direct lighting that will reduce glare. Fixtures with frosted lenses are better than clear ones and show the LEDs.

Also, for indirect lighting, you need more powerful lights.

Are LED Lights Better than Fluorescent Lighting for Squash Courts?

If you are currently using fluorescent lights, LEDs will be a significant upgrade: no flickering, humming, and better light quality.

What are the Best Lux / Foot Candle Levels for a Squash Court?

That depends if it’s used for competition or not. Your best bet is to target between 30 to 50-foot candles (300 to 500 Lux) for non-televised games.

Can You Retrofit Existing 2×4 Fluorescent Fixtures in a Squash Court to LED?

Yes, you can. We offer retrofit solutions with LED tubes designed to retrofit existing 2X4 fixtures.

What is the Lens Material for LED Lights Used for Squash Courts?

It depends on the fixture, but most of the fixtures are either acrylic lenses or tempered glass lenses.

How Can You Reduce Glare from LED Lighting Used in Squash and Racquetball Court Lighting?

Using frosted lens covers helps a great deal to reduce glare. Indirect lighting also works well.

What Utility Savings Can I Expect When Converting to LED Lighting in a Squash Club?

At least 50% or more. If you install motion sensors on the courts, you can dim court lights while they are not in use.

Does it Make a Difference if the Court Walls are Painted White or Glass Walls?

Maybe. The best way to determine this is to create a lighting plan based on your specific needs. We have to assume the glass wall will not reflect the light as well as a highly reflective painted wall. That might change the light we use and the lumens required.

Do Your 2×4 LED Fixtures Have Hard Lens Covers?

Yes, they do.

Do You Offer Impact Resistant LED Lighting for Squash and Racquetball Courts?

Some are. So if that is a concern of yours, then we can spec impact resistance fixtures.

Are the Dimmable LED Fixtures Available for Squash Court Lighting?

First, figure out how many foot candles are in the bright courts. Can you dim the lights? Many of our LED fixtures are dimmable. We offer color-changing and dimmable 2X2 and 2X4 panels and canopies so you can soften the color temperature.

If you’re looking to replace the lights, let’s do a lighting plan. Let us know your target foot candles.
