Custom Beam LED Sports Lights for Metal Halide Tennis Court Retrofit Projects

Replacing older Metal Halide floodlights on tennis courts requires more than selecting an equivalent LED wattage. Pole height, court layout, fixture position, beam angle, glare control, and lighting uniformity all affect the final result. Custom beam LED sports lights provide greater flexibility when upgrading existing tennis court lighting systems.

LED Retrofit for Tennis Court Lighting

The FORTOMO 41SL is a 300W–500W LED sports light designed for tennis courts, training facilities, and other outdoor sports applications. Available in 300W, 400W, and 500W configurations, it delivers 45,000–75,000 lumens with luminous efficacy of 150–170 lm/W. ( sportslight-fortomo.com )

For a Metal Halide to LED tennis court retrofit , the existing pole positions and mounting heights should be reviewed before selecting the LED fixture. A professional photometric calculation can help determine the required number of fixtures, aiming angles, and optical distribution.

Custom Beam Angles for Tennis Courts

The 41SL supports NEMA2–NEMA6 optics and beam angles from 7° to 45°, including 7°, 15°, 25°, 35°, and 45° options. This allows the lighting distribution to be matched to different pole heights, court dimensions, and fixture positions. ( sportslight-fortomo.com )

For LED tennis court lighting retrofit projects , narrower beams can help direct light toward specific areas from higher mounting positions, while wider distributions can provide broader coverage where appropriate. Choosing the correct optic is essential for achieving balanced illumination and reducing unnecessary light spill.

41SL Features for Tennis Court Upgrades

The 41SL uses a high-thermal-conductivity die-cast aluminium housing with an airflow-based cooling design. It is IP66 rated for outdoor environments and offers optional 10kV/20kV surge protection. The fixture also supports UGR <19 and no-flicker operation for comfortable visual conditions during sports activities. ( sportslight-fortomo.com )
