Led Projects highlights a recurring problem with the worldwide proliferation of outdoor padel and pickleball courts: light pollution. To avoid this environmental lighting issue, it would suffice to design and install more suitable asymmetric light sources instead of opting for symmetrical ones.
Although the initial cost is higher, asymmetric optics offer greater long-term benefits compared to symmetrical ones. They are more energy-efficient, minimize glare while enhancing the playing experience, and do not cause pollution, making them a worthwhile investment. This decision, along with the adoption of good environmental practices, provides many advantages, as small changes can produce rapid and surprising results without interfering with sporting activities and can prevent complaints from residents and neighbors.
Led Projects recommends including a significant budget allocation for the lighting of padel courts in the club construction project, comparable to the amount dedicated to installing the concrete base of the courts.
Subsequently, LED lighting should be developed tailored to the project, conducting thorough research to determine the minimum and maximum lighting levels required. It is also essential to carefully study how to minimize energy consumption and, most importantly, the effects of glare, and to select the appropriate asymmetric luminaires.
The lighting of outdoor padel and pickleball courts should be conceived as a vital part of the installation itself, essential for the proper development of the game and perfect coexistence with the surrounding environment.
With this technology, a homogeneous illumination is achieved on the courts, without glare and without any light pollution, as can be clearly seen in the aerial image at the top.
