Baywood Racquet Club Courts 1 & 2 Get Brighter With New LED Lighting
Baywood Racquet Club has recently completed a major facility upgrade, installing state-of-the-art LED lighting on Courts 1 and 2. This move brings a number of benefits for players, the club, and the environment.
What Has Changed
- Courts 1 and 2 now have new LED light fixtures replacing older, less efficient lighting systems.
- The installation improves evenness of light across the courts, reducing shadows and glare that can interfere with evening play.
- The project involved new poles or retrofitting existing mounts to ensure optimal height, angle, and coverage.
Why It Matters
- Better visibility & playing experience: Players can now enjoy better lighting during twilight and evening hours, with clearer visibility, making for safer and more enjoyable games.
- Longer usable hours: With these upgraded lighting systems, the club can extend hours of operation into darker parts of the day, which is especially helpful during fall and winter.
- Energy efficiency and cost savings: LED lights consume considerably less electricity than traditional halide or metal-halide lamps, meaning lower energy bills and reduced maintenance over time.
- Environmental impact: Less power use + longer lifespan = fewer replacements and lower carbon footprint.
Member & Community Reactions
Club members have expressed excitement at the upgrade. Evening matches, clinics, and social play are expected to draw more participation now that lighting is no longer a limiting factor. Many have commented already on the improved brightness and clarity under the new lights.
What’s Next
- Monitoring and fine-tuning: Staff are keeping an eye on light uniformity, brightness levels, and player feedback to ensure the lighting is delivering across all hours.
- Possible expansion: Depending on results, the club may consider similar upgrades for other courts.
- Informing players: Members will receive detail on any changes to court availability during any future work, plus guidance on scheduling under the new lights.
