Indoor Sports Lighting Project Example 1 – Babington Community College
Babington Community College are a specialist sports college located in Leicester.
They were looking for a 3-year maintenance free solution for their sports block, including external car park areas, gymnasium, walkways and their specialist Badminton court area.
The lighting system already in place used a mixture of power hungry fluorescent, metal halide and sodium lighting units. These needed frequent maintenance and the light levels for the Badminton court area were below specifications set out by Sport England.
The lights needed to offer a strong return on investment, reduce maintenance costs, have a high illumination level, a low energy usage and have minimal recycling costs.

Indoor Sports Lighting Project Example 2
The client’s tennis facility were looking to upgrade their out-dated lighting units to an ultra-efficient LED lighting system, this needed to offer reduced maintenance costs as lamp changes and cleaning of the old Metal Halide fittings was required yearly to keep light levels as high as possible for the task. The light levels for the court area were below specifications set out by Sport England even with the efforts of the client’s maintaining the fittings every 6 months.
The client also ran the lights all day due to the cold re-strike characteristics of the current system meant that courts could not be used straight away upon entrance of the players using the courts. The Prolite LED system solved all of these issues for the client whilst offering a return on investment on materials in under 1.3 years!
