Understanding Lighting Standards for Outdoor Tennis Courts in Singapore (Class I, Class II, Class III)

For tennis enthusiasts and MCST facility managers in Singapore, you know that a well-lit court is a necessity for optimal play and player safety. But the biggest question is, how bright do you need your tennis courts to be?

Here at Brite, we clearly understand the precise requirements for sports facilities. In this post, we break down the international classifications – Class I, Class II, and Class III – to help you choose the ideal LED sports lighting for your tennis courts, ensuring top-tier performance and compliance for both competitive and recreational gameplays.

Why Lighting Standards Matter for Tennis Courts

Beyond simply illuminating the court, proper tennis court lighting ensures:

• Optimal Ball Visibility: Tennis players need to clearly track fast-moving balls, especially against a uniform background.

  
  

• Reduced Glare: Minimising glare for both players and spectators is crucial for comfort and safety, and for extended playing hours.

  
  

• Player Safety: Even illumination prevents shadows and uneven surfaces that could lead to trips or falls.

  
  

• Compliance: Meeting established standards ensures your facility aligns with best practices and can host various levels of play.

  
  

• Energy Efficiency: Compared to inefficient metal halide bulbs, modern LED tennis court lighting solutions can significantly reduce your energy and operational costs.

The International Standard Classifications: Lux Levels and Uniformity

International guidelines, often referenced in Singapore's sports facility planning, categorise tennis courts based on their intended use, dictating specific lux levels (illumination intensity) and uniformity ratios.

Class I: Elite Competition & Professional Play

• Application: International, national, and high-level professional regional competitions and training centers

  
  

• Illumination Level (Lux):  avg 500 lux to 750 lux 

  
  

• Brite's Solution: For Class I courts, we recommend our her wattage and lumens of our Hi-Lux Stadium LED Sports Lights (SL Series) specifically designed for sports stadiums and sports halls, offering precise beam control and superior light quality to meet stringent broadcasting and player performance demands. These fixtures are engineered for minimal glare, high uniformity and maximum vertical illuminance crucial for high-speed play.

Class II: High-Level Training & Club Competition

• Application: Medium-level competitions, general club play, and high-level training. This is a common requirement for many private sports clubs and larger public tennis courts

  
  

• Illumination Level (Lux): avg 300 lux to 500 lux.

  
  

• Brite's Solution: Our Hi-Lux Stadium LED Sports Lights (SL Series) are also an ideal model for Class II courts, providing excellent light distribution and energy efficiency. These solutions balance performance with operational cost-effectiveness, making them perfect for busy Singaporean sports clubs looking to upgrade their existing tennis court lighting systems.

Class III: Recreational Play & Training

• Application: General recreational play, school sports, and basic training. This is often sufficient for community courts, smaller clubs, and residential condominium tennis courts in Singapore.

  
  

• Illumination Level (Lux): Avg 200 lux to 300 lux.

  
  

• Brite's Solution: For Class III courts, we offer our cost competitive Tennis Court LED Sports Lights (SB Series) that deliver reliable illumination while minimising power consumption. These solutions provide an excellent balance of quality lighting and affordability, making them a smart investment for community and residential sports facilities.
