LED lighting for gyms, courts and studios
Sports lighting is about more than brightness. A gym floor typically needs around 300–500 lux and recreational badminton about 300 lux, with club play needing more, but uniformity, glare in the line of sight and flicker matter just as much. A bright fitting in the wrong place can dazzle a player tracking a shuttle or a lifter on a bench.
We plan LED layouts from a lighting calculation for the space: fitting type and mounting height, beam angles, positions kept off the main sightlines over courts and benches, flicker-free drivers, and ball-resistant guards where needed. Studios and recovery areas get dimmable circuits and warmer colour temperatures, while training floors are usually lit at a neutral 4000–5000 K.

Common questions
How many lux does a gym or court need?
As a guide, around 300–500 lux for gym floors, about 300 lux for recreational badminton and roughly 500 lux or more for club-level play, with higher levels for televised competition. Even coverage matters as much as the average figure.
How do you avoid glare on a badminton court?
Fittings are kept away from the area directly above the court and out of the players' upward line of sight, usually positioned along the sides, with low-glare optics. Darker, matt backgrounds behind the court also help the shuttle stand out.
Is it worth upgrading old gym lights to LED?
In most cases, yes. LEDs use considerably less power than older metal-halide or fluorescent fittings for the same light, switch on instantly and can be dimmed. The upgrade is also a chance to fix uneven coverage and glare.
How much does gym lighting cost?
Cost depends on area, ceiling height, lux targets, the number and type of fittings, controls and the wiring work needed. We quote after a free site survey and lighting layout.
