Basketball Court & Gym Lighting
In addition to tennis lighting, Courtlite® offers solutions for basketball and racquetball courts and gyms. Like our tennis solutions, our state of the art gym lighting improves energy usage and reduces maintenance costs.
Courtlite's® T-5 fluorescent gym fixture is the perfect solution for any sports facility.
Indoor sports activities require substantial light levels and light quality, however, achieving this with old technology lighting systems is becoming very expense as the cost of energy is costing you a fortune. More than likely, your existing lighting system is either 400-watt or 1,000-watt metal halides, which are very inefficient by today’s standards. Our T-5 fluorescent Gym fixture is the perfect solution for any sports facility. Most projects will experience a 50% reduction in energy, while substantially increasing the light quality. Take a look at what makes our fixtures different.
Performance
Our Gym fixtures (pictured above without the optional wire guard) are engineered specifically for sports facilities, with a durable body, and quality components to resist impacts common in sports facilities. Light quality with indoor sports activities is equally as important, and beneficial as is the quality of the sporting equipment used, poor lighting can have a huge negative impact to the performance of the individuals playing. Not only will performance be enhanced, higher quality and light levels will reduce the risk of injury for the players.
Manageability
Our Big Gym fixtures turn on and off instantly allowing total control, unlike the existing metal halides that take 12-14 minutes to warm up. It has been our experience that most facilities that use metal halide lamps leave their lights on all day, so the member/player does not have to wait for the lighting to warm-up. Our T-5 lighting system can be controlled through automated systems, motion controls or manually. In addition to more energy savings, by switching the lights off when the areas are vacant, you will also extend the maintenance cycles reducing your O and M cost.
