Tennis Court Lighting Design is meticulously designed to meet both competitive and recreational requirements, ensuring optimal visibility for players, officials, and spectators while adhering to international standards. Below is a comprehensive overview of key considerations:
1. Illuminance Levels
Competitive Matches: Horizontal illuminance for professional tournaments (e.g., ITF or ATP events) shall maintain a minimum of 750 lux on the court surface, with vertical illuminance of 500 lux to ensure ball trajectory visibility.
Training & Recreational Use: Lower levels of 300–500 lux are acceptable, depending on facility classification.

– Uniformity ratios (U₁₀ = E_min/E_avg) should not exceed 0.7 for horizontal illuminance and 0.5 for vertical illuminance to eliminate shadows and ensure consistent light distribution.
3. Glare Control
– Luminaires must be positioned to minimize direct and reflected glare. A Unified Glare Rating (UGR) of <20 is mandated for player and spectator comfort.
– Anti-glare baffles and precise beam angles (typically 25°–45°) are employed to prevent light spillage.
