by Shane Henson — July 9, 2012—Poor lighting on tennis and other sport courts leads to missed balls as well as missed opportunities to better manage a court’s energy efficiency. With the newest light-emitting diode (LED) tennis lighting packages from Access Fixtures, facilities managers responsible for a property’s tennis courts or other sports facilities can offer optimal playing conditions while maintaining consideration for sustainability.
“LED technology can achieve amazing light levels,” said Access Fixtures Lighting Specialist Steven Rothschild. “Our new LED lighting systems are the perfect marriage of functionality and sustainability.”
Access Fixtures sports lighting packages include everything required to light a play area, including poles, luminaires and mounting hardware, and all systems are commercial grade and CSA list for wet conditions, the company says. Just as important, each LED fixture produces 12,825 lumens using only 171 watts; that’s 75 lumens per watt. Access Fixtures tennis court systems featuring Toshiba LED technology are rated for 50,000 hours, meaning you have a long-lasting solution with years of payback. The quality, efficiency, and low prices make Access Fixtures a great choice for sports lighting in public, commercial and private facilities, the company asserts.
Facilities managers wanting to improve the lighting for more than just tennis players can take advantage of other products by Access Fixtures. The company also provides lighting packages for basketball, volleyball, horseshoes, shuffleboard, and bocce, as well as general sports lighting.
Those with other lighting needs can also be served by Access Fixtures, which offers everything from classic high-intensity discharge (HID) fixtures that provide high light output and great value to efficient technology such as LED and e-HID that can significantly reduce energy costs. Fixture types include wall packs, area lights, bollards, garage lighters, vandal resistant, exit and emergency, high bay, low bay, linear fluorescent and track lighting. Lighting technologies in addition to LED include induction, HID, eHID, T5, T5HO, T8 linear fluorescent; metal halide, and high-pressure sodium.
