Wythall Tennis Club, nestled within the sprawling 37-acre grounds of Wythall Park in Birmingham, is renowned for its commitment to providing members with exceptional tennis facilities. With four artificial grass courts, including three floodlit ones, the club sought to elevate its offerings even further. The solution? A switch from conventional floodlights to Lumosa LED lights.
Challenge
The primary challenge was clear: Provide the best facilities possible for members. The existing lighting system needed an upgrade to meet modern standards and enhance playing conditions. Additionally, the club aimed to reduce operational costs, particularly energy consumption.
Solution
Wythall Tennis Club embraced the Lumosa LED lighting revolution. These lights brought a wave of transformation. The even spread of light across the courts created a dramatic improvement in playing conditions. Lumosa's advanced technology not only met but exceeded the LTA match standard, delivering up to 400 LUX.
Results
The results of this transformative journey speak volumes. With just two of the four courts switched to Lumosa LED lights, the energy consumption for January 2023 plummeted to 297KWH compared to 826KWH in January 2022—a remarkable 60% energy saving.
Testimonials
- Chris Maggs, Chairman: "It has been wonderful to have new LED lights installed on three of our courts. They provide excellent lighting and will be more efficient on energy. These lights will help to ensure more opportunities to play during those cold, dark evenings we all love."
- Alex Doffman, Head Coach: "Having coached at a number of clubs across the UK, the newly installed lights are one of the best I've played under. The difference in glare and ball visibility is noticeable, and I'd recommend them to any club going forward."
The Lumosa LED lights have not only brightened the tennis experience at Wythall Tennis Club but have also illuminated a path toward sustainability and cost-efficiency.
