In most cases, the amount of light required for pickleball courts will be dictated by the skill level of the players. As the skill level is elevated, more light will be needed. The ASBA Pickleball construction manual outlines three basic categories for light levels with descriptions of each category. Keep in mind that the uniformity of the illumination is as important as the amount of light in determining the overall quality of the lighting system. LSI Industries has a Create-A-Court design selector tool online at https://www.lsicorp.com/led-create-a-court-selector-tool/ with 22 pickleball designs based on USA Pickleball construction manual guidelines. The lighting designs are offered in the PDF file format for easy web viewing, transfer, and printability. In addition, LSI industries Technical Design Services https://www.lsicorp.com/services/technical-design-services/ is available to create lighting designs for nonstandard installations. Frasure Reps www.frasurereps.com also has inhouse design capability to generate a custom design per your specific requirements.

CCT describes the overall color appearance of the light source in Kelvin degrees. “Cooler’ light sources will have a higher Kelvin temperature and “warmer” light sources will have a lower Kelvin temperature. We recommend 5000K fixtures for commercial or public installations, and 4000K for residential installations. Avoid color temperatures over 5000K which will have a bluish tint.

Many LEDs have a rated life of up to 50,000 hours. This is approximately 50 times longer than a typical incandescent, 20-25 times longer than a typical halogen, and 8-10 times longer than a typical CFL. Used 12 hours a day, a 50,000-hour LED will last more than 11 years.

Yes.  Our ZONE pickleball fixtures and poles are the gold standard for all outdoor pickleball applications.

Zone is available in 2 sizes ZNM medium and ZNL large. In general Class 1 Professional courts will require a Zone large to hit the USA Pickleball Lighting Standards and Zone medium is ideal for most Class 2 and Class 3 courts. Individual court size and number of courts in addition to court classification can impact fixture selection. To further assist in selecting the correct fixture LSI has created an online Create-A-Court design selector tool at https://www.lsicorp.com/led-createa-court-selector-tool/ with 22 pickleball designs based on USA Pickleball construction manual guidelines includes pole mounting heights and fixture catalog number. The designs are offered in the PDF file format for easy web viewing, transfer, and printability. In addition, LSI industries Technical Design Services https://www.lsicorp.com/services/technical-design-services/ is available to create lighting designs for nonstandard installations.

A control system is an effective way to energize the lights only when they are needed and turn the lights off when not needed. A typical control system may use a combination of scheduling, photocells, and motion sensors to make sure the lighting system operates only when needed. Well designed and implemented controls will save energy and prolong the life of the lighting system. Additional information available at https://www.lsicorp.com/products/controls/

In general, Zone luminaires are maintenance free but periodic visual inspections are recommended to make sure fixtures are working properly.

Typical energy savings of 40-60% can be achieved compared to traditional HID sources.

Direct lighting is directed towards the playing surface; it provides high illuminance levels on the courts.

Indirect lighting is where the light is directed upwards; it provides high levels of ambient light with reflected light from the walls and ceiling and is the best choice for optimal illumination at very low glare.

Indoor luminaires can be mounted using four corner direct cable suspension or pendant-attached single hub cable mount.

LSI’s indoor sports fixtures are designed for impact resistance and compared to traditional fixtures, offer instant-ON illumination (no restrike time), can be frequently switched ON and OFF and are not susceptible to vibration related failures often witnessed in filament-based lighting fixtures.

The Zone Indirect fixture is 45 ½ inches long and 16 ¼ inches wide.

Yes, when ordering your LSI poles include an extra hand hole with your pole options. With this option you can specify which height and side of pole the receptacle should be located.

In general, light poles and fixtures should be located on the sides of the court with the fixture directing light across the court. The side positioning creates the least amount of glare since the orientation of the fixtures is 90 degrees to the primary viewing directions of the players.

This will depend on a number of factors, but generally in the 20’ – 26’ range. Single pickleball courts can use lower mounting heights. Lighting for multiple courts will require poles in the higher range.

Square Straight Steel poles are the most commonly used poles for pickleball and the most economical. However, LSI does offer round straight and round tapered steel poles as well as aluminum and fiberglass options for your pickleball facility.
