Padel has rapidly evolved into one of the fastest-growing sports worldwide, with increasing demand for high-performance court infrastructure. While surface systems and enclosure design are critical, professional outdoor lighting is what truly determines whether a padel court meets international standards.
At UHS, we specialize in delivering advanced lighting systems that ensure optimal visibility, energy efficiency, and long-term durability—tailored specifically for professional padel environments.
Lighting is not just about illumination—it directly impacts gameplay, safety, and spectator experience. Poor lighting can lead to:
Reduced ball visibility at high speed
Increased player fatigue and eye strain
Uneven brightness is causing shadow zones
Non-compliance with international competition standards
A professionally designed lighting system ensures:
Uniform illumination across the entire court
Minimal glare for players and cameras
Consistent performance in all weather conditions
Professional padel lighting must comply with international sports lighting guidelines, such as those referenced by organizations like International Tennis Federation and regional federations.
Illuminance Levels:
Recreational: 200–300 lux
Club/Training: 300–500 lux
Professional Matches: 500–750+ lux
Uniformity Ratio: ≥ 0.7
Glare Rating (GR): Low glare design required
Color Temperature: 4000K–5700K (natural daylight effect)
CRI (Color Rendering Index): ≥ 70–80
UHS lighting systems are engineered to meet or exceed these standards, making them suitable for both club-level and tournament-grade courts.

UHS LED luminaires are equipped with advanced optical lenses to ensure even light distribution across the entire playing surface, eliminating dark spots and overexposed zones.
Our lighting solutions are designed with low-glare optics, ensuring players can track high-speed balls without visual interference—even during night matches.
Compared to traditional metal halide systems, UHS LED lighting offers:
Up to 60–70% energy savings
Instant start (no warm-up time)
Longer lifespan (50,000+ hours)
This significantly reduces operational costs for clubs and facility operators.
A standard outdoor padel court typically uses:
4 or 8 lighting poles
Mounted at heights between 6–8 meters
Positioned symmetrically to ensure uniform coverage
UHS provides custom lighting layout design, ensuring:
Compliance with local regulations
Optimal beam angles
Minimal light spill to surrounding areas
Modern sports facilities demand intelligent control systems. UHS supports:
