EnglishStudy Padel Lighting Before Choosing the Floodlights
Layout, height, optics, uniformity, reflections on the glass and installed power must all be studied together.
STADÉLUM prepares technical configurations for indoor and outdoor padel courts, taking into account the level of play, the site structure and players’ visual comfort.
Three Calculated Configurations According to the Required Level
Study provided with 4 COURTLINE 240 W floodlights. Simulated average illuminance: 415.5 lux. Emin/Eavg uniformity: 86%.
Study provided with 4 COURTLINE 320 W floodlights. Simulated average illuminance: 577 lux. Emin/Eavg uniformity: 95%.
Study provided with 8 COURTLINE 240 W floodlights. Simulated average illuminance: 823.7 lux. Emin/Eavg uniformity: 92%.
All three results come from the supplied simulations using a 13-point grid. They are not measurements taken on site.
Check Light Distribution Across 13 Points
The average alone is not enough to assess the quality of an installation. The calculation points taken at ground level (except point 7, which is taken at net height) make it possible to check the areas close to the glass, the net and the back of the court.
The calculation must also check uniformity, aiming directions and areas sensitive to reflections or glare.
Photometric Studies Provided for 300, 500 and 750 Lux
The three 3D views below correspond to the supplied calculation studies. The results are simulated across 13 points and must be distinguished from illuminance measurements taken after installation.
4 COURTLINE 240 W
Simulated result from the supplied calculation study
4 COURTLINE 320 W
Simulated result from the supplied calculation study
8 COURTLINE 240 W
Simulated result from the supplied calculation study
The configurations use 4 COURTLINE 240 W, 4 COURTLINE 320 W or 8 COURTLINE 240 W depending on the required illuminance level. The optics and aiming directions remain those specified in the supplied calculation studies.
Detailed Results Across the 13 Points
The values are reproduced as they appear in the supplied table. They make it possible to check the average, minimum, maximum and the two uniformity ratios.

Indoor and Outdoor Padel: Two Different Technical Environments
Indoor Padel
Clear height, roof structure, glazing and reflections influence floodlight positioning. The solution must preserve ball visibility without creating discomfort during high trajectories.
Outdoor Padel
The project must coordinate poles, wind, setbacks, glazing, neighbouring properties and spill light. A moderate mounting height may lead to consideration of the CONICA range, subject to the loads and selected layout.
Why Entrust Your Padel Lighting Study to STADÉLUM?
Site Analysis
Dimensions, height, glazing, surroundings, wind and installation constraints.
Photometric Study
13-point calculation, average lux, uniformity and sensitive areas.
Optics Selection
Light distribution adapted to the required throw and reduction of reflections.
Visual Comfort
Aiming directions studied according to ball trajectories and players.
Optimised Power
Installed power adjusted to the actual requirements of the project.
Coordinated Structure
Poles, supports and floodlights checked as a complete system.
Designing LED Lighting Suitable for Padel
Padel combines a compact playing area, glazing and high ball trajectories. The supplied calculation studies show three COURTLINE configurations: 4 × 240 W, 4 × 320 W and 8 × 240 W depending on the required level. Luminaire positioning remains essential for uniformity, visual comfort and control of installed power.
Indoors
The roof structure and clear height determine the available positions. The luminaires must remain compatible with overhead play and limit reflections visible on the glass walls.
Outdoors
Poles and supports must be coordinated with wind conditions, neighbouring properties, setbacks and the aiming directions defined by the calculation. The CONICA pole may be considered when its height range and load capacity are suitable for the selected configuration.
FAQ — LED Lighting for Padel Courts
What Lux Level Should Be Used for Padel?
The targets used on this page are 300 lux for leisure and training, 500 lux for competition and 750 lux for a higher level. The final level must correspond to the project requirements.
Why Calculate Lighting Across 13 Points?
This grid makes it possible to check light distribution across the entire court and compare the average illuminance with the least illuminated areas.
Can the Same Lighting Be Used Indoors and Outdoors?
No. Indoor installations involve height, roof structure and reflection constraints. Outdoor installations add poles, wind, neighbouring properties and spill light.
Is the CONICA Pole Suitable for Outdoor Padel?
It can be considered for certain configurations with moderate mounting heights. Compatibility depends on the floodlights, supports, wind conditions, total weight and exposed surface area.
What Results Do the Three Supplied COURTLINE Studies Achieve?
The 4 × 240 W configuration achieves an average of 415.5 lux with U0 = 0.86. The 4 × 320 W configuration achieves 577 lux with U0 = 0.95. The 8 × 240 W configuration achieves 823.7 lux with U0 = 0.92. These values are simulated.
What Is the Total Installed Power for Each Configuration?
The 300 lux configuration represents 960 W of installed power. The 500 lux configuration represents 1,280 W. The 750 lux configuration represents 1,920 W.
Do These Configurations Correspond to Completed Installations?
No. This page presents typical studies and technical targets. It does not claim any published STADÉLUM padel installation.
