What use will the track have?
The starting point is to know what the track will be used for: recreational? training? competition?
Each level requires different lighting requirements. In the table below, you will find classes I, II, and III with their recommended levels of illuminance and uniformity.
Class II: ideal for regional tournaments and high-level training.
Class III: sufficient for recreational use or schools.
Arrangement of luminaires and structure
The typical setup for an outdoor tennis court includes:
- 4 posts installed at the corners of the play area, avoiding shaded areas.
- Installation height: 8 meters.
- Lighting coverage: 8 fixtures (2 per pole), with wide optics to ensure uniform lighting across the entire surface.
- Reference dimensions: Length: 36 m / Width: 18 m
Simulated luminous performance
The photometric simulation shows a uniform distribution of light across the entire track, achieving an average of 243 lx with a good uniformity ratio:
Simulation data
- Eav: 243 lx
- Emin: 164 lx
- Emax: 321 lx
- Emin / Eavg: 0.66
- Emin / Emax: 0.51
- Glare Rating (GR max): 33
- Maintenance factor 0.8
Illuminance requirements for outdoor tracks (Class II)
For recreational, school, or training sports facilities, Luxes offers a solution that meets the requirements for Class III.
The Luxes proposal has been designed to meet these standards of luminous performance.
Consult sports lighting regulations
