Volleyball Lighting Equipment

• There are many options for sports courts. Many
  people opt to have one or several of these either
  near their home in a park or at a camp. Some of
  the most popular sporting courts include tennis
  courts basketball courts and volleyball courts.
  For anyone with one of these playing fields it
  is very important to ensure the safety of the
  players and the spectators. Especially if the
  court is intended for night play or even just
  for security purposes you will need to acquire
  volleyball basketball or tennis court lighting.
  The place to go for all of the sports lighting or
  athletic field lighting equipment and advice you
  need is Residential Landscape Lighting and
  Design.

• You should determine if you have enough expertise
  to install your  volleyball court lighting. If
  you have any doubts about being able to do it
  yourself it will be in your best interest to
  hire an electrician. Their knowledge will ensure
  that you have the proper athletic field lighting
  equipment. If your electrical contractor is
  unsure of local lighting ordinances you will
  want to look into that yourself. Be sure to check
  with both your neighborhood association and the
  local municipality as their specific requirements
  can often differ. You might have to submit
  drawings of the court and inform them of the
  lighting for the volleyball court that you or
  your electrician intend to install. Should you go
  it alone our experts are here to answer your
  questions and offer advice. They can be reached
  via email our forums or through our customer
  service  at 1-800-239-2939.

• Prior to installation of lighting for a
  volleyball court you will need to take some
  measurements. Most courts are 60 by 30 but you
  will need ten feet of space all around as a
  safety zone. This means that you will have to
  light an area that is 80 by 50. This amount of
  space is very close to the playing area of a full
  size basketball court. This means that
  recreational volleyball court lighting and
  basketball lighting needs are similar. The best
  way to determine what you will need is to send
  drawings of your court to our experts at
  Residential Landscape Lighting and Design.

• While everyones volley ball court lighting needs
  are different our expert does give general
  advice for illuminating the playing area. In
  response to an inquiry in our forum he for a
  simple recreational court he recommends using
  our 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 lighting kits need to be mounted on wooden
  poles or trees. Safety dictates that you stay far
  away from using metal poles especially for
  lighting of a volleyball court. The best route
  though is to send us a sketch of your court with
  all of the dimensions labeled on it. You should
  also make a note on the drawing of any nearby
  structures or trees and their distance from the
  court. The trees could be used as lighting
  mounts. Our friendly customer service staff is
  always willing to dispense their expert advice
  and help you install your volleyball court
  lighting.
