LED lighting for 2 indoor tennis courts in Bassillac: photometric study and on-site measurements
For this new-build project in Dordogne, STADÉLUM supported the selection of the lighting solution, floodlight layout, photometric study and comparison with on-site measurements taken after installation.
Project context
Indoor tennis lighting designed before installation
The challenge was not simply to supply luminaires. The project had to verify the amount of useful light on the courts, uniformity, correct beam distribution and players' visual comfort within an indoor structure.
- Analysis of the structure, available height and mounting areas.
- Selection of suitable optics to distribute light across the playing area.
- Targeting a level of uniformity suited to indoor tennis use.
STADÉLUM method
A technical approach: study, layout and verification
STADÉLUM highlights this project because it demonstrates the value of carrying out a photometric study beforehand and verifying the results on site when conditions allow.
Site analysis
Height, structure, setback, mounting constraints and areas to be lit are taken into account before selecting the product.
Layout
The floodlights are positioned to cover the courts without unnecessarily concentrating the light.
Optics selection
The luminaire optics are used to control light distribution, rather than focusing solely on power.
On-site measurements
The available measurements make it possible to compare the achieved performance with the initial targets.
Photometric study
Simulation, illuminance plan and light distribution assessment
Measured results
On-site values clearly distinguished from the study
The data below corresponds to the information provided for the Bassillac project. It should not be generalised to other buildings or mounting heights without a dedicated study.
Result measured after installation.
Measured minimum-to-average ratio.
Per court, with 8 COURTLINE floodlights.
Product used
COURTLINE: a linear floodlight designed for the constraints of indoor courts
For this project, the COURTLINE solution was selected to optimise the layout, light distribution and installed power.
- 8 COURTLINE floodlights per court.
- Installed at approximately 7 m.
- Controlled installed power: 2,240 W per court.
- Visual comfort and glare limitation taken into account.

The Bassillac project uses eight COURTLINE floodlights per court, for a total installed power of 2,240 W per court. The selection of power levels, optics and aiming was integrated into the photometric study to optimise illuminance, uniformity and visual comfort.
Technical FAQ
Frequently asked questions about indoor tennis court lighting
Why carry out a photometric study before lighting an indoor tennis court?
Because the result depends on the height, layout, optics, reflections and structure. The study makes it possible to anticipate lux levels, uniformity and areas with lower light levels.
Is installed power enough to assess the quality of sports lighting?
No. High power does not guarantee well-distributed light. Optics selection, floodlight aiming and uniformity are decisive factors.
Are the stated 619 lux a simulation?
No. For this project, the average 619 lux and U0 0.703 are presented as results measured on site.
Indoor tennis project
A lighting project should be studied before it is priced
STADÉLUM can analyse your site, check the available height, propose a layout, study the optics, estimate lux levels, uniformity, visual comfort and the required installed power.
