Proper lighting is critical when the world is watching an indoor tennis match. A tennis ball is quite small on a court, and without adequate lighting, no one can see it. AEON LED Luminaires offer effective, efficient lighting for indoor tennis courts, which is why so many properties are switching to LED for these purposes.
An indoor tennis lighting proposal should reflect the building and the court dimensions. Provide the court arrangement, roof structure, available mounting positions, and the height at which the luminaires would actually be installed—not just the building’s highest point.
Identify beams, ventilation equipment, divider curtains, and other features that may affect fixture placement or access. Include photographs of the existing installation and any available building drawings.
Ask the project team to evaluate suitable mounting positions and lighting distributions before assuming that new fixtures should occupy every existing location. The appropriate project professionals should confirm structural suitability and installation details.
Review more than the brightness of the court surface. Explain where players have difficulty following serves, lobs, and overhead shots, and identify existing glare, shadows, or unevenly illuminated areas.
Include the appearance of the ceiling and walls, divider curtains, and the location of windows or skylights in the design discussion. These features form part of the visual environment and should be considered alongside the luminaires.
For facilities that record or stream matches, provide the camera and production requirements early. Ask for the proposed lighting system to be evaluated for that use rather than treating one color-rendering specification as proof of broadcast suitability.
Describe how the facility operates throughout the day. Lessons, individual court reservations, team practices, and events may require different court groups to be available at different times.
Ask whether the proposed system can provide the switching, dimming, and scheduling functions your facility needs. Confirm which equipment is required, how staff will operate it, and whether remote access is included or optional.
Where lighting is grouped by court, ask the designer to consider the intended combinations of active courts. Do not assume that a layout evaluated with every light on will perform identically when neighboring courts are switched off.
Include service access in the lighting proposal. Ask how luminaires and associated components will be reached, whether access equipment can move around the courts, and how maintenance can be scheduled around lessons and reservations.
Review cleaning requirements, available replacement components, warranty terms, and the selected product’s documented life ratings. A long LED life rating does not mean every component will operate indefinitely without attention.
For an operating-cost comparison, use the proposed system power, hours of use, and control schedule. Keep estimated electricity savings separate from installation costs and any assumptions about future maintenance.
Ask AEON which product and mounting configuration fits your indoor layout. Review the proposed fixture specifications and installation documents before finalizing the selection.
Provide the existing mounting locations, installation heights, and court arrangement for review. The project team should evaluate those positions against the proposed lighting layout and building conditions rather than assuming that a one-for-one replacement is the right approach.
Start with a floor plan, court count, available mounting heights, photographs, and information about the current lighting and controls. Include roof obstructions, divider curtains, and maintenance-access limitations. Identify any measurements or records that still need confirmation.
Establish the intended level of play and applicable project criteria before selecting a target. Ask the lighting designer to identify the reference documents being used and explain how they will evaluate the proposed layout. Address recording or broadcasting needs separately.
Discuss installation sequencing with the project’s installer. Explain your lesson schedule, reservation commitments, and available closure periods. Ask whether work can be phased by court or area, but do not assume uninterrupted operation before the installation plan is agreed.
