Common Questions from Facility Managers

Planning & Design

Q: How do I decide the right number of fixtures?

Use this formula:

Required Installations = (Court Area × Target Lux × 1.25) / (Fixture Lumens × Utilization Factor)

Example:420 m² court, 500 lux target, RL-400 (52,000 lm), 0.65 UF
= (420 × 500 × 1.25) / (52,000 × 0.65) =7.8 fixtures→ Circular up to8 units

Free Service:We give photometric investigation utilizing AGi32/Dialux software.Submit court measurements here.

Q: What pillar point matches my mounting height?

Technical Support

Q: Can I retrofit existing poles/wiring?

· Existing photocell/timer controls

· Metal halide mogul bases (with adapter plate)

Incompatibilities:

· Older magnetic ballasts (must bypass)

· Undersized wiring (<12 AWG for 400W runs)

Q: What happens if a fixture fails?

5-Year Warranty Covers:
