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.

What Factors are Considered when You Do Squash Court Lighting Design?

Here is what we consider:

  • the size of the court
  • how reflective the walls and floor are
  • location of existing fixtures
  • desired light levels
  • how bad is glare currently

What Light Levels are Ideal for Squash Courts?

  • Light levels of 50 fc are recommended for recreational squash.
  • Light levels of 100 – 200 fc for professional competition levels.

Light levels need to be evenly distributed  and balanced across the court.

How Does Fixture Placement Affect the Quality of Lighting on a Squash Court?

Fixtures should be placed to provide uniform, balanced lighting across the court. It should try to minimize shadows and keep glare as low as possible.

What Color Temperature is Optimal?

You should consider either 4000K or 5000K for squash court lighting

Can LED Lights Be Used for Squash Court Lighting?

Yes, LED lights are a perfect choice for squash court lighting. Make sure they are equipped with glare reducing lenses, like frosted lenses, to help.

What is the Difference Between a Lighting Design Calculator and a Lighting Plan?

Use a calculator if:

  • You are looking for a free, online tool to quickly calculate the number of fixtures you need
  • You want quick, simple, and immediate results
  • You are looking for a count of light fixtures needed based on a specific budget
  • You need a rough estimate on quantity and layout/configuration does not matter
  • There is no need to include specific light balance and shadows in your documentation

Use a lighting plan layout if:

  • You would like a professional lighting plan engineer to review your requirements
  • You need a calculated lighting plan that shows foot candle readings
  • You need to see how balanced the light levels are, and you care about reducing shadows
  • You want to show aiming angles, and light positions in scale within your indoor or outdoor area
  • You need professional assurance that the lights you buy will be the right choice
