​At Light Designs, we provide specialist lighting design services for paddle tennis courts, helping clients create schemes that are practical, visually comfortable, environmentally responsible, and suitable for planning approval.

​

Whether your project is for a private club, leisure facility, school, holiday park, or commercial sports venue, we can support you with a lighting solution that balances performance, safety, ecology, and visual impact.

​

Our service

We offer lighting design advice and technical support for new and existing court developments, including:

• Court lighting layouts and concept design

• Lux level and uniformity guidance

• Glare and light spill reduction

• Ecology-sensitive lighting strategies

• Planning support and external lighting documentation

• Advice on luminaires, mounting heights, aiming, and controls

• DIALux-based technical lighting calculations, where required

Why this matters

Sports court lighting needs to do more than simply illuminate the playing area. It also needs to respect neighbouring properties, reduce upward light spill, and respond to site-specific planning and ecological constraints.

A well-considered lighting design can help you:

• Improve playing comfort and visibility

• Reduce glare for players and nearby residents

• Minimise light trespass beyond the court

• Support wildlife and dark-sky considerations

• Strengthen planning submissions and project approvals

Ecology and planning awareness

External sports lighting often needs careful consideration where there are nearby homes, countryside edges, hedgerows, trees, or habitat-sensitive areas.

We can help prepare lighting proposals that take account of:

• Planning conditions and external lighting requirements

• Ecological sensitivity

• Boundary and off-site light spill

• Dark corridor protection

• Timers, controls, and operating hours

• Low-glare and lower-impact lighting approaches

Our aim is to produce a scheme that performs well for players while remaining sympathetic to the wider environment.

We work with:

• Architects

• Planning consultants

• Developers

• Sports clubs
