LIGHTING REQUIREMENTS

 

The following table is the summary of the criteria for outdoor tennis courts:

Level	Horizontal luminance	Uniformity of luminance	Lamp color temperature	Lamp color rendering	Glare
	(Eh average(lux))	(Emin/Eh ave)	(K)	(Ra)	(GR)
Ⅰ	﹥500	﹥0.7	﹥4000	﹥80	﹥50
Ⅱ	﹥300	﹥0.7	﹥4000	﹥65	﹥50

Ⅲ	﹥300	﹥0.7	﹥2000	﹥20	﹤55

 

Notes:

- Class I: Top-level national and international competitions (non-televised) with requirements for spectators with potentially long viewing distances.

- Class II: Mid-level competition, such as regional or local club tournaments. This generally involves medium-sized numbers of spectators with average viewing distances. High-level training may also be included in this class.

- Class III: Low-level competition, such as local or small club tournaments. This does not usually involve spectators. General training, school sports and recreational activities also fall into this class.

 

INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS:

The height of the fence around the tennis court is 4-6 meters, depending on the surrounding environment and the height of building, it can be increased or decreased accordingly.

Except to be installed on the roof, the lighting should not be installed over the court or on the end lines.

The lighting should be installed at the height of more than 6 meters above the ground for better uniformity.

Typical mast layout for outdoor tennis courts is as below.
