The enormous power savings that result from changing your tennis court lights are one of the main advantages.
Technology for metal halide lighting was created more than a century ago. It utilizes a lot of energy combined with Mercury and Metal Halide gases, which deteriorate over a short period of time to 60% reduced brightness.
To maintain the 350 lumens needed as standard for club and competition play, you must regularly replace the extremely costly globes and maintain other expensive elements, such as loud buzzing ballasts.
When your goal is to solely light up a court with square corners, Metal Halide lights not only take a long time and a lot of energy to warm up but also generate their light in circular arcs, which results in significant energy waste and wasteful overspill onto nearby properties.
Since its creation more than 20 years ago, LED lighting technology has evolved into a very affordable method of illuminating tennis courts.
As much light as a single 2000-Watt Metal Halide Globe is produced by a contemporary 480-Watt LED Sports Light.
This indicates that converting to LED might result in a staggering 76% reduction in power expenditures alone. With an average maintenance-free LED light life of 10 to 20 years, or more than 60,000 hours, without any light loss and without the need to replace pricey globes or other components, you may see a very rapid return on your investment in a few short years based only on these data.
