But how many LumiSPORT lights do you actually need?

We crunched the numbers, mapped it from above, and yes — we have the drone photos to prove it.

SINGLE TENNIS COURT

A standard singles court measures 23.77 metres long by 10.97 metres wide, not huge, but big enough that poor lighting creates shadows and uneven brightness.

Our calculations show:

4x LumiSPORT lights spaced evenly around the court give crisp, glare-free illumination.

Tips for perfection:

  • Keep lights symmetrical to avoid one court being brighter than the other

  • Pole height: 4.5 metres for even coverage

With these placements, every serve, volley, and smash is clearly visible — even under a midnight sky.

DOUBLE TENNIS COURT

Double the courts, double the strategy. A simple doubling of lights doesn’t work — overlap and angle become key.

We recommend:

6x LumiSPORT lights carefully positioned to cover both courts without leaving dark zones in between.

Tips for perfection:

  • Keep lights symmetrical to avoid one court being brighter than the other

  • Pole height: 4.5 metres for even coverage

The result? Two courts, one evening, perfectly illuminated, ready for action.

5-A-SIDE FOOTBALL

A 5-a-side pitch is about 40 metres by 20 metres — longer and wider than a tennis court, so lighting requires strategy.

We recommend:

8x LumiSPORT lights will cover the whole pitch, giving consistent brightness from goal to goal and across the centre circle.

Tips for perfection:

  • Keep lights symmetrical to avoid one area being brighter than the other

  • Pole height: 4.5 metres for even coverage

  • Position lights to avoid glare into players’ eyes at goalposts

The final effect is a pitch that feels alive under the night sky, perfect for casual games and training sessions.

Lighting Tips for Every Surface

  • Height matters: higher poles = more even light.

  • Angles over intensity: aim lights to spread across the area, not just shine down

  • Overlap zones: avoid dark gaps between lights

  • Maintenance: easy access for bulbs, check LEDs for consistent brightness

  • Energy efficiency: dip switches to reduce power and light the game for longer
