Padel courts require increasingly better LED lighting, as it not only raises the overall quality and player experience but also meets the growing expectations of customers.
In this article, we’ll analyze what type of LED lighting best suits a padel club depending on its conditions and characteristics — whether it’s indoor, outdoor, or regularly hosts events and tournaments.
As a reference, we’ll take Led Projects, the leading brand in padel court lighting, with more than 6,000 sports installations worldwide and extensive experience in international tournaments and circuits. All of their solutions comply with UNE-EN 12193 and UNE 147201 standards, in addition to holding international certifications that guarantee safety and performance.
A key feature is that all their models include flicker-free drivers, which means:
• Visual comfort: less eye strain and fatigue.
• Video recording and photography: no “black bands” in slow motion or professional footage.
• Higher perceived quality: lighting looks more stable and natural.
In summary, flicker-free describes a technical behavior of the luminaires: the driver maintains a stable current, eliminating harmful flickering and ensuring an optimal experience for both players and spectators.
Types of LED Lighting for Padel
We can classify padel lighting into three main series: Led Projects Series, Professional Series, and Show Series.
It’s important to note that, beyond these standard options, the brand conducts custom lighting studies and adapts to each project and situation individually.
Led Projects Series
This is the most affordable range in the catalog. It offers linear LED lighting with homogeneous light distribution, no glare, high efficiency, sustainability, and visual comfort.
It’s a great and cost-effective option for indoor clubs, since they’re less exposed to weather conditions and still maintain high quality standards.
Within this range, we find the following models:
1. ICE 8x150W
Composed of 8 LED spotlights of 150W per court. It provides uniform illumination across the entire playing area and fulfills its purpose perfectly.
2. SKY 8x180W
A superior option to the previous one for several reasons:
• Higher power output.
• Adjustable light intensity — a significant advantage for clubs.
• Blackout design, meaning the club doesn’t need any other lighting system beyond the court lights themselves.
3. LINE+ 20x100W
The most minimalist and elegant model in the range. It consists of 20 linear fixtures of 100W per court, with a total length of 4.63 meters. This results in less glare, reduced light pollution, and a visually stunning design.
Professional Series
A more advanced series that improves both quality and efficiency compared to the previous one. It ensures optimal lighting for TV broadcasting and professional tournaments.
It’s especially recommended for outdoor clubs, since its materials are more resistant to degradation and feature a robust structure.
The main models in this series are:
1. ECO-T 8x200W
The brand’s best-selling model thanks to its outstanding quality. It’s dimmable, designed for Blackout lighting, and reduces visual fatigue. Its modular technology allows seamless integration into any environment — from professional tournaments to high-demand clubs.
It’s the preferred choice among professionals for their facilities.
2. TV 12x240W
The best option for high-quality broadcasts. It meets UNE-EN 12193:2020 standards, ensuring crisp and flicker-free images even in slow motion.
It’s the ideal model for a club’s central court, offering all the features of the ECO-T but in a linear 12-spotlight configuration that stands out in both design and performance.
Show Series
The most exclusive series, designed for events, main club courts, and professional padel tournaments.
With just a few events, the investment easily pays for itself.
It incorporates RGBW technology and dynamic lighting effects, adding a unique show-like atmosphere.
These are the models included in the Led Projects Show Series:
1. TV SHOW 12x240W
Complies with UNE-EN 12193:2020 standards and includes DMX technology for customizable light effects.
It’s engineered to deliver maximum quality for TV broadcasting and professional events. The perfect choice for a club’s central court, providing a distinctive and premium visual impact.
2. TV SHOW 16x240W
An upgraded version with 4 additional spotlights per court. This system is used in major tournaments such as Premier Padel, Reserve Cup, and has also been featured in World Padel Tour and Ultimate Padel Tour.
