Volley Court Lighting

• Volleyball is an exceedingly popular sport. While
  playing during the day is fun, night games bring
  a new dimension to the game play. Owners of
  volleyball courts know that having the playing
  field well lit increases the amount of use it
  gets thus growing its profitability. Volleyball
  court lighting helps you get the maximum amount
  of use from your court, and everything that you
  need to install your lighting can be found at

• Before you install your lighting for the
  volleyball court, you will need to take several
  assessments. First, take give yourself an honest
  appraisal of your electrical capabilities. Unless
  you are a professional, it is best to contract an
  electrician to mount and set up your volleyball
  court lighting or accessories. To determine your
  lighting needs, you will have to measure the size
  of your court. Standard volleyball courts are 60
  feet by 30 feet, and there is typically ten feet
  of out of bounds space around all the sides. This
  means that you will need to acquire enough
  lighting materials for a 50' by 80' space. The
  safety of both the spectators and the players
  depends upon having the proper lighting for the
  volleyball court.   Care must be taken to prevent
  glare that may impede the game by blinding
  participants.

  lighting yourself, feel free to make your
  selection from us. Do not fear, though, if you
  find yourself stumped, expert advice is just a
  click away. Be aware, though, that our general
  advice might not apply to your situation. Be
  realistic when you are engaged in the
  installation of your illuminations. In general,
  our expert recommends for a standard recreational
  lighting of a volleyball court that you use an
  Arena Lighting Kit 2 (400watt). He specifies
  that you should use one double lighting kit per
  side centered on the net as high as possible.

• These sports lighting equipment need to be
  mounted on wooden poles or trees. If these are
  not available, you can still find wood pole
  mounts and accessories for your volleyball court
  lighting. For lighting choices, you could use
  high pressure sodium lights which give off a
  yellowish hue. This is good for repelling
  insects. If you want something that is a truer
  white light, you could choose metal halide
  lights. If you are unsure, it is always best to
  ask an expert.
