Proper lighting design attracts more customers to your beach sports facilities. LED light is the best option for indoor sports center because it has lower power consumption, longer life span and more features. After replacing the metal halide, halogen, HPS, mercury vapor and fluorescent with LED flood lights, you can enjoy tons of advantages, such as IP66 waterproof and heat-resistant for outdoor beach high ceiling or high mast lighting. Let’s having a look how can we light up the beach volleyball court, tennis court and basketball sand court.

Beach Volleyball Court Lighting Standards & Design

1. Ground Lux Level (Brightness)

led-beach-volleyball-court-lightingAdequate brightness is the fundamental point to note when it comes to volleyball ground lighting design. For the recreational indoor sports center, the brightness required is approx. 75 to 150 lux, and the low-level competition would be 150 to 200 lux level. It will not be very harsh unless it is designed for high-level competition such as The Beach Slap or Players Beach Series. The lighting standard of these volleyball courts would be extraordinarily high – about 700 to 1500 lux. Our lighting designers will select the appropriate power for your applications.

2. Dust-proof and Water-proof Beach Sports Lighting

The beach volleyball court might be quite dusty because of the sand. This condition will be more significant for outdoor beach because of the onshore and offshore wind. Additionally, the outdoor luminaries must be able to resist inclement weather such as rainstorm. Our LED sports floodlights have IP66 rating, which is totally dust-proof and can tolerate the bad weather.

3. Heat Dissipation of Indoor Beach Lighting

Especially for indoor sports center, hot air will be trapped on the ceiling, which is harmful to the semi-conductors inside the lights. To overcome this issue, we adopt the effective yet compact heat sinks at the back of the LED lights. It is a passive thermal management system without the use of cooling fan. The dense, extended fins give a large surface area for heat transfer between the light source and surroundings.

4. Lighting Uniformity

For the broadcasting beach volleyball tournament, the lighting should have at least 0.6 to 0.7 uniformity, which reflect whether or not the light beam is uniformly distributed across the volleyball court. High uniformity improves the user compliance because the athletes and audiences and see comfortably.

To achieve better lighting uniformity design, our engineers will do the lighting simulation inside a software called DIALux. By mounting the LED having different beam angle, power and angle of projection inside the software, we can see if the lighting plan meet the requirement. If not, we can adjust the luminaries until getting the best results. We deliver quality and professional photometric analysis for free.

5. Color Temperature

You may encounter sports field having white or yellow lights. They have their own advantages and drawbacks, says white light is more invigorating, but it has higher blue light content; on the contrary, yellow light is relaxing but it might affect us to identify the color. We have a wide range of color temperature available – from 2700 to 7500K. Contact our representatives to customize your sports lighting solution.

6. Avoid Flicker Under Slow Motion Camera

Sand volleyball is an exciting sport. It is very common for the cameraman to shoot the volleyball spike and sand diving. It is difficult to capture the quality video if the light strobes. Thanks to our flicker-free optics, you can enjoy smooth, continuous lighting even under the 5000 Hz slow motion camera.

Beach Tennis Court Lighting

Apart from brightness and uniformity, our LED light is also shock-proof. If the fast-moving tennis ball hit the luminary directly, the lights will not break as the frame is made of aluminum, while the lens cover is made of polycarbonate that is able to resist the impact. Unlike the metal halide and mercury vapor lamps, LED is safer more durable to use; hence, it is wise to replace these conventional lighting with LED.

Beach Basketball Court Lighting

Since different types of sports ground will have their unique pole height and ceiling height, we will design and customize the best lighting system for beach basketball court, volleyball and other sports. Please feel free to contact us for much info.
