Tennis Court Lighting: Switching from Metal Halide/HPS to LED
A new LED lighting system can be quite the investment; especially considering all the hidden costs that go along with tennis court lighting (i.e. equipment, labor, maintenance). Although LED’s have more upfront costs, the amount you can save in the long run makes them well worth it!
Whether you’re looking to upgrade your current lighting system with brand new fixtures or you choose to retrofit your existing fixtures, there are several reasons why you should switch from MH and HPS to LED fixtures:
- Provides instant on/off. Never wait for lights to warm up
- Offers dimmable capabilities. LED lights can be dimmed for different settings.
- Improves lighting quality. LED light fixtures have a high color rendering index.
- More energy efficient. LED light are more energy efficient than Metal Halide light fixtures.
- Provides better light intensity. LED lights will provide constant light intensity levels.
- Enhances light quality. These lights provide a uniform light that is evenly distributed along the entire court surface.
- Decreased maintenance requirements. LED lights require little to no maintenance and replacement for the entire life of the fixture. They can last up to 10 to 12 years.
