A well-lit tennis court not only ensures compliance with official standards, but also an optimal playing experience. This applies both day and night. NOVETI, a specialist in sports lighting, supports clubs and local authorities. They implement high-performance, durable LED solutions for outdoor tennis court lighting.

 

🎾 Why install LED lighting on a tennis court?

A quality lighting system makes it possible to supplement natural light and ensure play in the evening or in overcast weather. This is crucial for any outdoor tennis court seeking good LED lighting. It also ensures compliance with standards required to host competitions. In addition, it improves player visibility by eliminating shadowed areas.

 

Lighting standards to comply with

According to the AFNOR NF EN 12193 standard and the FFT specifications, an outdoor tennis court must provide:

 

    • Minimum 300 lux average illuminance
    • Uniformity U0 ≥ 0.7

 

These values ensure consistent visual comfort across the entire playing surface thanks to LED lighting.

 

Lighting configurations

Installations vary depending on the number of courts:

 

    • One court: 4 x 8 m masts, or 2 masts with 2 floodlights each.
    • Two courts: 2 central 12 m masts, 4 outer masts, or 6 optimized masts.
    • Three courts: 4 x 15 m masts, or 8 masts for independent control.
