LED lights To Serve Tennis Lovers At Sports Centre

Tennis is a fun game that requires a lot of hand and eye coordination, and also needs good lighting. As the weather in the UK is never guaranteed, many tennis courts are inside. Traditional lighting for many sports centres results in high energy bills and extra time spent on maintenance.

One solution to save money for both private and public sports halls is to consider swapping to commercial-grade LED lights. One sports centre has actually made the swap to LED lights to improve its CO2 footprint and save money on energy.

New LED Lights Serve Tennis Lovers

LED lights are some of the best quality lights available, and suit sports players for many reasons. One key feature of LED lights is that they produce no glare, and so are ideal for focused tennis players who don’t want to get distracted by overhead lights.

The sports centre in Basingstoke made the brave move to LED lights with the help of funding from the Green Alternative Investment Fund. The fund contributed over £10,000 to replace 44 halogen lights with new LED fittings and LED lights.

The new LED lights have the added feature of being dimmable, which can save further energy when not being used by tennis players. These new LED lights also come with sturdy fixings that can withstand impact from wayward tennis balls. This means less downtime for the lights and less money spent on replacing the light bulbs.

Massive Savings on Energy Bills

The move to new LED lights for the tennis centre means they can save nearly £5000 annually on energy. This means they can pay off the overall investment of the materials in roughly 2 years.

LED lights are a key way for businesses to save money on expensive energy bills. LED lights are able to save more energy in a number of ways:

 

• LED lights are smaller than traditional bulbs, and emit directional light, which means less light is wasted. LED lights don’t need deflects or diffusers, which makes them very energy-efficient in the way they distribute light.

• LED lights produce little heat, as they make the best use of the energy available. LED bulbs are cooler to handle and reduce the risk of burns to the hands.

Helping the Environment as Well

With much less energy being used to power the LEDs compared to traditional lights, the environmental impact is much lower. The tennis centre is estimated to save as much as two tonnes of CO2 per year.

This means LED lights are a key part of the green agenda for businesses. Being able to save money and the environment is achievable - thanks to the humble LED light bulb.

LED lights have come a long way in the last few years, and their applications for every setting mean they are quickly becoming the go-to for businesses looking to reduce their carbon footprint.
