Tennis court lighting design information and equipment recommendations.

I am looking for information regarding a light fixture for a single tennis court. I do not want to go with the taller 20' options, but am not sure if this is adequate. I also am not how to choose some of the options - Like the Duplex Receptacle. Please help me!

This sport court lighting fixtures is really designed for smaller areas such as basketball, volleyball and small outdoor play areas. If you want good quality tennis court lighting, you will need to do with a tller pole.

The 20' tennis court lighting kits we have are designed for uniform coverage and low mast lighting. It is important to have even uniformity of light over the entire court.

The duplex outlet option is handy for connecting an electric blower or ball machine without having to run an extension cord from a remote area. Most tennis court lights are hooked up at 220 volts and the receptacle provides 120 volt power at the court. I would only request one or two located at the center court poles.

Please call one of our friendly customer service representatives for additional information or a custom quote at 800-239-2939. We are tennis court lighting experts!

What is the proper spacing for a gooseneck style lighting fixture?

How far apart do I space your gooseneck lights?

I would space these gooseneck lights no more than eight feet apart for uniform coverage. These fixtures are designed for use with a standard A19 or A21 incandescent lamp up to 200 watts. If you try and use a halogen PAR flood lamp the results will be unacceptable and spotty.

Thanks for contacting Residential Landscape Lighting & Design for your COMMERCIAL LIGHTING needs. We look forward to serving you. Give us a call toll free at 800-239-2939 if we can be of service.

Gooseneck lighting fixtures, abolite fixtures, lighting designed for mansards, awnings, and buildings.

I am having trouble calculating the length of the arm I need for the PRI 20-850 series. I need it to light an awning which is 13'' across and 60" top to bottom and extends out 36" thank you for any help you can give.

If you are concerned about the arm length, I would take a look at the ABOLITE LSI ADINC GOOSENECK SIGN LIGHT. There are many different mounting arms to choose from in all shapes and sizes.

For your size canopy, I would go with three lights equally spaced. The should project out approximately 24" to 32" to prevent hot spots and produce a uniform wash of light.

Indoor horse arena lighting using metal halide commercial lighting fixtures.

What fixtures would be appropriate to light an indoor horse arena 60'' x 128''? The "ceiling" is white (the back side of steel roof). The trusses descend to 14 feet. What number and pattern of fixtures and wattage would be right?

I would recommend that you install (12) 22" Acrylic High Bay fixtures with Pulse Start - TECHLIGHT TH22A 350 watt metal halide high bay fixtures. Install them in two rows of six fixtures equally spaced in width and length. It may require that you install unitrut accross the trusses to position the lights in the pattern described. I would also position the bottom of the fixtures at the 14'' height of your trusses for looks and light distribution.

We have other ARENA LIGHTING FIXTURES if you have an outdoor arena that needs lights as well. All our commercial lighting fixtures are in stock and ready to ship!

Order the lights with a hook and cord option. Have your electrician mount a twist lock receptacle at each light location for easy installation and service. I would go with the 240-250 volt option if you have the space in your panel.

Metal halide low bay shop lights are good for any type of fabrication manufacturing or repair shop.

I have a new shop, 24' x 48' x 16' at the peak. I am thinking of 175 watt low bay lights. How many and how should they be spaced? Does your fixture come with the bulb? Thanks!

If you are running the 175 WATT METAL HALIDE LOW BAY FIXTURES in a row down the middle of your shop, you will need three minimum and four if you want it bright from end to end. You might want to also consider using the 250-WATT METAL HALIDE LOW BAYS should you decide to go with three fixtures. The bulbs are included and all you have to do is select the voltage and mounting method when ordering.

What kind of work will you be doing in your new shop? Thanks for your business!

Commercial Light Fixture, Metal Halide Light, Work Area Light & Work Light

I own a automotive paint and body shop that has terrible fluorescent lighting in the work area. What do you suggest to bright things up? My warehouse is roughly 20' high and I currently have twelve 8' double fluorescent strips.

Sounds like you are a good candidate for COMMERCIAL HID LIGHTING. For your application, I would go with a 400-WATT METAL HALIDE FIXTURE that has a metal enclosure and a lens since your shop is probably dusty. We have other LOW BAY FIXTURES as well. All of these fixtures have multi-tap ballasts which means they will work on 120, 208, 240 and 277 volt circuits. Please note that we have quantity discounts available!
