The LED Lighting Upgrade at Jinderra Tennis club involved the replacement of aging 1000W Metal Halide Lights. The club requested a target average illumination level of 250 lux. We used 12 of our specialised 600W Tennis Court Lights (LITE-EL-600-TC) to achieve an average of 280 lux. The club LED lighting upgrade coordinator Jason Steinke was very happy with the LED lighting results stating that the results provided ample levels of light. The contractor's lighting measurements after the installation also consistently measured 280-290 lux suggesting some bonus light!
For those who are interested in the technicalities the design and illumination data is as follows. Note this was a relatively tricky design due to the unusual pole placements. Note the lux levels are calculated with a Light Loss Factor of 0.88 to allow for factors like dust build up and variability in the LED lighting output. Measured levels in practice will often being greater than theoretical measures.
Note that the tennis court light levels for convenience were simulated at court surface rather than 1m above the court where they would read a little higher.
Tennis Court LED Lighting Levels - Average Illumination = 284 lux, Uniformity = 0.51, Min/Max = 0.382
Tennis Court 1 - LED Lighting Levels - Average Illumination = 279 lux, Uniformity = 0.88, Min/Max = 0.72
Tennis Court 2 - LED Lighting Levels - Average Illumination = 289 lux, Uniformity = 0.87, Min/Max = 0.68
Tennis Court 3 - LED Lighting Levels - Average Illumination = 289 lux, Uniformity = 0.87, Min/Max = 0.68
Tennis Court 4 - LED Lighting Levels - Average Illumination = 279 lux, Uniformity = 0.88, Min/Max = 0.72
