Hadley Energy Solutions designs and installs tennis court lighting for clubs, parks, schools, and private courts throughout Louisville, KY. Tennis court lighting has specific requirements: high light levels for tracking a fast-moving ball, excellent uniformity, and critically, low glare so players can see the ball against the sky when serving and volleying. LED tennis lighting delivers better performance with lower energy costs than traditional metal halide.
Athletic directors, park and recreation departments, school districts, university athletics programs, sports complex developers, and community organizations looking to extend their outdoor playing time into evening hours with safe, properly designed field lighting.
Tennis Court Lighting costs depend on facility requirements:
Sports lighting is a specialty that demands expertise in photometric design, structural engineering, and high-voltage electrical work. We've lit fields across the Louisville region and understand what it takes to deliver safe, uniform illumination that meets IES standards. Our experience at venues like Freedom Hall demonstrates our capability with sports and event lighting at any scale.
We survey your facility, identify the competition class needed, and produce photometric designs that verify light levels and uniformity before installation.
We engineer pole foundations, specify fixtures, and handle equipment procurement. Sports lighting has long lead times — we plan accordingly.
Our crews install foundations, erect poles, mount and wire fixtures, and install control systems. We handle all electrical infrastructure.
We aim every fixture per the photometric design, then verify light levels on the field with a light meter. You get the lighting performance we promised.
IES recommends 30 fc for recreational play, 50 fc for club/tournament play, and 75+ fc for televised competition. We design to your specific use level with attention to glare control, which is critical for tennis.
Glare is the most critical factor in tennis court lighting. We use shielded fixtures with precise optical control, position poles at optimal angles to the court, and select fixtures specifically designed for tennis applications. Players need to see the ball against the sky — glare makes this impossible.
A single field typically takes 2-4 weeks from pole installation through final aiming. Multi-field complexes take 4-12 weeks depending on the number of fields. We coordinate around your playing season to minimize disruption.
Yes. We offer maintenance programs that include periodic inspection, fixture cleaning, re-aiming, and lamp/driver replacement as needed. LED systems require far less maintenance than metal halide — typically just periodic cleaning and inspection.
