Guidance for a new brief
Planning tennis-court lighting.
Coverage beyond the lines.
Include the playing court and the required run-back and side areas in the design brief. Confirm whether courts are used individually or together.
People around the court.
Coordinate light positions with spectator seating, access and any camera locations required by the intended use.
Design guidance for a comparable new project.
Selection notes.
Start with the court layout and intended use, then review the floodlight catalogue for suitable optics and mounting options. Product choice needs a lighting layout rather than a match to the photograph.
Linked families are options for a new brief.
Project planning questions.
What should be checked for ball visibility?
Review the distribution of light over the playing volume alongside player sightlines and potential glare, using the proposed court layout.
How is competition compliance confirmed?
Confirm the intended level of use and the applicable project requirements, then obtain design and measurement evidence for that brief.
