What Is the Best LED Fixtures for Tennis Courts  – Indoors?

There are two options. And it all depends on whether you want light pointing downwards or upwards.

The best tennis led sports lighting pointing downwards is High Bay LED lights. We recommend UFO LED Lights with a frosted lens. It will reduce the amount of glare produced. These lights are powerful, bright, and robust. So hitting them with a tennis ball will not cause any damage.

If your tennis club uses up-lighting, a cost-effective solution is to retrofit with a LED Retrofit Kit. This allows you to keep your lights and convert them to LED. Or, we do have fixtures that can be pointed up and reflected down on the court, like our high-power flood lights.

What Is the Best LED Tennis Court Fixtures for Outdoor Tennis Courts?

There are two options, and both are pole-mounted solutions.

If the poles mount near the perimeter of the court, then a shoebox-style light is a good option. It is important that you choose the right type of optic package for these lights. Some are particularly good at lighting up courts and not the area behind the courts. They’re considered ‘forward-throw’ optics. And most shoebox lights meant for parking lots are not meant for tennis courts.

If the poles are mounted further back, LED flood lights are a great option to light up the outdoor court area. The floodlight power and beam angle you need rely completely on your requirements. And physical locations of the poles.
