Professional Outdoor Tennis Court Lighting Near the Seaside

In May 2018, MECREE completed a successful lighting upgrade for two tennis courts (Courts 3 & 4) at the TC MEZE Tennis Club in France, providing bright, uniform, and energy-efficient illumination with our 400W LED stadium floodlights (GL-SFL-400W). This project demonstrates MECREE’s expertise in outdoor sports lighting, even in challenging seaside environments.


Project Overview

Location: France (near the seaside)
Application: Outdoor tennis courts / professional and amateur training
Court Size: Two standard tennis courts
Pole Height: 15 m
Average Illuminance Achieved: 395–427 lx (measured on-site)
Installation Date: May 2018

Products Used

  • 8 pcs 400W LED Stadium Floodlights (GL-SFL-400W) for Courts 3 & 4

  • Beam Angle: 60°

  • CCT: 5000K (Daylight White)

  • Efficiency: 150 lm/W

  • Poles: 4 high poles per court

  • Additional Lighting: Courts 1 & 2 equipped with 16 pcs 200W LED lights


Project Requirements & Challenges

Tennis is a high-speed, precision sport that demands:

  • High illuminance and uniform coverage to track fast-moving balls

  • Low glare and flicker-free lighting for player comfort and safety

  • Durable LED fixtures able to withstand outdoor seaside conditions

  • Energy-efficient lighting solutions with long lifespan

For Courts 3 & 4, the designed average illuminance was 190 lx, with a maximum of 299 lx. On-site testing measured 427 lx on the lux meter and 395 lx on the court, exceeding professional amateur tennis standards.

LED flood lights for stadiums

MECREE has launched the following series of LED Sport Stadium Lighting:

  1. R580 series stadium lights are designed for 160 feet to 1000 feet of lighting distances and 4K, 8K HD broadcasting.
  2. AFL series stadium lights are designed for lighting distances from 50 feet to 330 feet and improve the brightness uniformity.
  3. P73-L and A65 series stadium lights are designed for the precise light control needs of the North American and European markets. The Upward Light Ratio of the P73-L and A65 series LED stadium lights is 0%.

MECREE’s specially engineered precision lighting control is designed to meet the needs of such users. The polarized light range of 65-73° is defined as the P73-L and A65 series products, which deliver an unparalleled visual experience while offering access to thousands of IES profiles.

New LED Sports Lighting Solution Provider

 

PRECISE CONTROL OF LIGHT 1

-OPTICS 10X BETTER

A65

Our precisely engineered optics of polarized light aim light directly onto the field of play, to shine uniformly and to minimize glare. Outdoor venues benefit from spill light control, no more skyglow and no more complaints from the neighbors.

COMPETITORS

1. Such light shield is useless,just misleading customers.
2. As tested it will cause 30% reduction of light output
3. While 70% still have high overflow
4. Unbearable strong glare
5. Waste energy,outdated reflective technology

PRECISE CONTROL OF LIGHT 1

-OPTICS 10X BETTER

REMOTE DRIVER

The power supply and lamp body can be mounted separately, reducing the withstand weight of the lamp pole and facilitating maintenance.

CONVENIENT INSTALLATION 3

-EASY CROSSARM REPLACEMENT

Customized crossarms are available to meet all your existing old poles without replacing the main rod, crossarms bolt directly to light pole, easy and accurate installation saves time, ensures performance, safety and reliability,also lower the budget.

How to accurately aim the lights in the stadium?

In current sports lighting projects, high-altitude light calibration is recognized as a major efficiency bottleneck. The process carries high safety risks, is prone to aiming deviations, and involves cumbersome installation and removal procedures, making it difficult to achieve the required uniformity.

MECREE’s innovative laser aiming mount was designed precisely to address these issues. It revolutionizes the workflow through three key advantages:

Easy Installation: With a simple design, it allows rapid mounting and dismounting, significantly lowering the operational threshold.

Precise Aiming: Ensures accurate laser alignment, fundamentally guaranteeing uniform illumination and compliance with lighting standards.

Efficient Operation: Reduces labor and time costs by up to 80%. Calibrating 200 fixtures at height previously took 20 days; now the same workload can be completed in just 4 days.

Choosing MECREE means choosing a safer, more precise, and highly efficient sports lighting solution.
