Frequently Asked Questions
What is Squash Court Lighting Design?
Squash Court lighting design uses engineering-grade lighting design software to create a lighting plan for squash and racquet ball fitness facilities. It calculates the total number of fixtures you'll need. It shows you where to install the fixtures. And it will provide light levels on the floor, and light balance. Light balance is just as important as light levels. Creating a lighting solution that's bright and balanced is the difference between noticing how good the light is and how bad it is. We offer free lighting designs for our commercial lighting and industrial lighting clients, electricians, electrical contractors and Escos.
