LED lighting for a multi-sport hall
A lighting renovation designed for a hall used for basketball, table tennis and multi-sport activities, with a regular layout of 24 SUPRALED 150 W luminaires installed at a height of 7 m.

Project context
Renovating sports hall lighting without focusing solely on wattage
Villefanian Sports Hall hosts several sporting activities. In this type of hall, performance does not depend solely on the total installed power: it also depends on the available height, luminaire layout, light distribution and the required level of uniformity across the playing area.
The STADÉLUM approach consists of linking site data to a usable lighting result: number of luminaires, installation grid, individual power, colour temperature and consistency of light distribution.
Analyse the hall volume
The installation height, width of the sports area and multi-sport uses determine the number of lighting points and their positions.
Structure the distribution
The 4 × 6 layout organises the light throughout the sports hall, helping to limit low-light areas between the centre and the perimeter.
Verify the achieved level
The values reported for this project indicate an average of 554 lux and U0 0.70 across the sports hall area.
Photometric study
A lighting layout designed for a multi-purpose sports hall
In a sports hall, a photometric study makes it possible to anticipate light distribution: average level, uniformity, perimeter areas and consistency between the mounting height and installed power.
For Villefanian, the reported data indicates an average illuminance of 554 lux and U0 uniformity of 0.70. These values are presented as project data and are not described here as on-site readings or official measurements.
Installed product
SUPRALED 150 W 4000 K
The SUPRALED luminaire was selected here in a configuration suited to a large indoor volume: 24 units rated at 150 W, arranged in 4 rows of 6, for a total installed power of 3,600 W.
Reported result
554 lux average and U0 0.70 across the sports hall area
This project demonstrates the value of a layout-based approach: final performance does not depend solely on the choice of luminaire, but on the consistency between mounting height, installation grid, individual power and distribution across the sports area.
Technical insights
What this project demonstrates
A clear layout
The 4 × 6 grid structures the light distribution and makes the project easier to understand for both the installer and the project owner.
A multi-sport solution
The project takes several activities into account within the same hall: basketball, table tennis and versatile sporting activities.
Controlled installed power
The installed 3,600 W is linked to a specific layout and illuminance level, rather than an approach based on unnecessary excess power.
A reproducible method
The same criteria can be analysed for another sports hall: height, use, installation grid, optics, uniformity and mounting constraints.
Technical clarification
Distinguishing reported results from on-site measurements
The values of 554 lux average and U0 0.70 are retained on this page because they form part of the data provided for the project. In the absence of a measurement report or on-site readings included with the publication materials, they are described as reported results, rather than official measurements.
Frequently asked questions
LED lighting for a sports hall: key points to check
Why not focus solely on wattage?
Two installations with the same power can produce very different results. Mounting height, optics, luminaire positioning and uniformity are decisive factors.
Why carry out a photometric study?
The study makes it possible to anticipate the average lighting level, lower-light areas, light distribution and the consistency of the layout before installation.
What are the benefits of a regular layout?
A regular grid helps distribute light throughout the hall and limit differences between central and perimeter areas.
Is SUPRALED suitable for every sports hall?
The choice depends on the volume, mounting height, available fixing points, sporting use and required lighting level. A study confirms the appropriate configuration.
