Everything you need to know before upgrading your court lighting

If you’re considering upgrading the lighting on your padel court, it’s normal to have some doubts. Most bad decisions stem from a lack of understanding:
  • What level of lighting you actually need
  • Which system is suitable for padel
  • What the actual energy consumption is in the medium term
  • What problems cannot be solved by simply replacing the lights
Here, we address the factors that truly influence your decision.
ELLITE PADEL is a perimeter lighting system designed specifically for padel courts. Unlike traditional floodlights mounted on poles, this system integrates the lighting into the court’s structure itself. This allows for:
  • Eliminating shadows and dark areas
  • Improving light uniformity
  • Reducing glare
  • Optimizing energy efficiency
It’s not just about changing lights; it’s about changing the concept of lighting.

It depends on the facility’s intended use:

Recreational use: 200 lux

Club/amateur competition use: 300–500 lux

Professional competition: up to 750 lux

The ELLITE PADEL system is designed to meet these levels with high uniformity, which is the truly critical factor in padel.

Yes. The system is designed to comply with the requirements of standard EN 12193, which regulates lighting in sports facilities:
  • Illuminance levels (lux)
  • Uniformity
  • Glare control
In addition, it allows the design to be adapted according to the required level of competition.
The differences are key:
  • Even light distribution across the entire perimeter
  • Elimination of shadows on walls and the net
  • Drastic reduction in glare
  • Aesthetic integration into the court
  • Lower visual and structural impact
In practical terms: a better playing experience and fewer technical issues.
Yes. The system can be adapted to existing courts, although each case requires a preliminary technical analysis to:
  • Assess the current structure
  • Determine mounting points
  • Optimize lighting performance
That is why we conduct a preliminary study before any installation.
Energy consumption depends on the required lighting level, but in general:
  • It is lower than that of traditional systems with column-mounted spotlights
  • It is optimized because fewer light fixtures are needed
  • It offers greater efficiency (more useful light per watt consumed)
In many cases, energy savings can reach between 30% and 50% compared to conventional systems. Additionally, there is the option to achieve 80% energy savings through self-consumption by installing 2 to 3 solar panels (depending on the geographic area) and the Club 3.0 automation software.
Very low. ELLITE PADEL is designed to:
  • Minimize points of failure
  • Use highly durable components
  • Reduce the need for technical interventions
This translates to:
  • Fewer replacements
  • Lower maintenance costs
  • Greater light stability over time
The components are designed for a service life of:
  • 50,000 to 100,000 hours
This equates to years of intensive use without the need for replacement, far exceeding that of low-cost solutions.
No, and that is one of its main benefits. The ELLITE PADEL system:
  • Controls the direction of the light
  • Prevents direct glare in the player’s vision
  • Improves visibility on high shots (lobs, smashes)
This eliminates one of the most common problems with traditional floodlights.
This is a very common situation. Replacing light fixtures with similar ones won’t solve the problem if the design is flawed. ELLITE PADEL allows you to:
  • Correct structural lighting issues
  • Reduce the number of light fixtures
  • Improve performance without increasing energy consumption
Yes. The system can be adapted to different levels of use:
  • Training
  • Recreational match
  • Competition
This allows you to optimize energy consumption and extend the system’s lifespan thanks to our exclusive software and integration with booking apps.
Before installation, we analyze:
  • Current track configuration
  • Actual lighting levels
  • Existing issues (shadows, glare, etc.)
And we deliver:
  • Optimized technical proposal
  • Lighting simulation
  • Solution recommendation
Because they are not designed for this purpose. Common problems:
  • Poor uniformity
  • Excessive glare
  • Need for more units
  • Higher actual energy consumption
Although they are cheaper initially, their total cost is higher.
The return on investment comes from a combination of several factors:
  • Energy savings
  • Reduced maintenance
  • Increased court usage (better player experience)
  • Process automation
The investment pays for itself in a very short time. With our technology that integrates lighting and management software, we achieve the greatest savings (up to 80%). By controlling expenses and automating club operations, we increase your revenue.
