How Should Sports Court Lighting Be Planned?

Lighting should be coordinated with the court layout before poles, ceilings or electrical routes are fixed. The required lighting level and design depend on the sport, venue and local requirements.

Planning guidance — final supplied configuration remains project-specific.
Sports court lighting installation
01

Start with the court layout

Court orientation, net and hoop positions, fencing, ceiling structure and spectator locations all influence sensible luminaire positions.

02

Control glare and spill

Residential neighbours, players, cameras and spectators can all be affected by poorly placed lighting. Final photometric design should be project-specific.

03

Keep electrical work local

Apollo can supply relevant sports-lighting products where confirmed, while electrical design, installation and local compliance remain with the purchaser's project team.
