padel court lighting

High-performance, energy-efficient LED lighting designed for professional and recreational padel courts.

We deliver high-performance LED padel court lighting systems engineered for uniformity, glare control, and compliance with UK sports lighting standards including guidance from CIBSE and EN 12193.

From design through to installation, we provide complete lighting solutions for padel clubs, leisure centres, and private courts.

HOW WE CAN HELP YOU:


step 1: DESIGN

Our design process uses advanced lighting simulation software to ensure optimal lux levels, uniformity, and positioning before installation begins.

  • Required lux levels for recreational, club, and competition play

  • Meeting LTA and CIBSE standards

  • Uniformity ratios to eliminate dark spots across the court

  • Glare control to improve player visibility and comfort

  • Column height, positioning, and beam angles

  • Light spill and environmental impact (important for planning approval)

step 2: install

We handle installation with minimal disruption and maximum precision. Working alongside trusted installation partners we’ve collaborated with for many years, every project is delivered to the highest professional standards.

Our installers are fully trained and NICEIC certified, ensuring all electrical works are completed safely, compliantly, and with exceptional attention to detail.

step 3: after care

Lighting shouldn’t be “fit and forget” — it should be “fit and perform.”
We offer ongoing support to keep your courts operating at peak performance.

  • 10 Year Warranty – All products are backed by a 10-year warranty for long-term peace of mind and reliability.

  • Commissioning – We set up and configure your lighting onsite to ensure optimal performance from day one.

  • System Upgrades & Adjustments – We offer ongoing upgrades and tweaks to keep your system up to date and performing at its best.

  • Performance Optimisation – We can fine-tune your lighting to improve efficiency, uniformity, and overall output over time.

SMART lighting CONTROLS

Our LED lighting systems can be integrated with intelligent smart controls to improve energy efficiency, reduce operating costs, and give users greater flexibility over how their lighting is managed.

Bluetooth control gives operators greater flexibility while helping reduce unnecessary energy consumption.

Using intuitive app-based technology, users can adjust lighting levels, create schedules, and control individual zones with ease.

Our LED lighting systems can be integrated with both microwave and PIR (Passive Infrared) sensors to automatically control lighting based on movement and occupancy.

These smart sensor technologies help reduce unnecessary energy usage, lower operating costs, and extend the lifespan of the lighting system.

Beyond padel, we manufacture a broad range of LED lighting solutions for all applications, including:

  • TENNIS

  • GREEN BOX RETROFITS

  • PORTABLE SOLUTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Padel courts require high-uniformity LED lighting to ensure clear ball tracking and consistent visibility across the entire playing surface.

    Typical requirements vary depending on level of play:

    • Recreational courts: ~200–300 lux

    • Club level: ~300–500 lux

    • Competition level: 500+ lux with high uniformity

    We design all systems to meet UK expectations and recognised sports lighting standards.

  • Padel lighting design in the UK typically follows recognised sports lighting guidance, including:

    • CIBSE lighting guides (including sports lighting recommendations)

    • EN 12193 sports lighting standards

    • Local planning and environmental light spill requirements

    These ensure correct lux levels, uniformity, and glare control for safe and professional play.

  • LED lighting is now the industry standard for padel courts due to its performance and efficiency.

    Key advantages include:

    • Higher uniformity and better ball visibility

    • Reduced glare for improved player comfort

    • Lower energy consumption

    • Longer lifespan and reduced maintenance

    • Instant on/off control with smart systems

    LED systems also provide more precise beam control than traditional floodlighting.

  • Yes. Most existing halogen or older metal halide systems can be retrofitted with modern LED floodlights.

    Upgrading typically results in:

    • Improved visibility and playing experience

    • Lower running costs

    • Better compliance with modern standards

    • Reduced maintenance requirements

    We can assess existing installations and design upgrade solutions with minimal disruption.

  • Yes — we are a UK LED lighting manufacturer.

    We design and manufacture our own lighting systems, allowing full control over:

    • Optical performance

    • Build quality

    • Efficiency

    • Lead times

    • Project-specific customisation

    This ensures every system is tailored specifically for padel and wider sports applications.

  • Smart lighting controls allow courts to be managed automatically or remotely for maximum efficiency.

    We offer:

    • Bluetooth app-based control

    • Microwave motion sensors

    • PIR occupancy sensors

    • Zoned court control systems

    • Scheduling and dimming features

    These systems help reduce energy waste by ensuring lights are only used when courts are in operation.

  • Sensors automate lighting based on movement or presence.

    • Microwave sensors: Detect movement using high-frequency signals, ideal for larger or more complex spaces

    • PIR sensors: Detect body heat and movement, ideal for simple occupancy detection

    Both improve energy efficiency and reduce unnecessary lighting use.
