Determine Existing Light Levels
Above, SES President and Owner James McKinney takes light meter readings to determine photometrics. These readings are taken from 23 points on each tennis court in order to both determine the current light levels, and to assist the customer deciding the lighting objective most appropriate for their players and facility.
This data is the backbone in determining how we best design your lighting to provide even light saturation throughout the playing surface and can be later used to provide your players a scorecard of the success in your lighting conversion.

SES Lighting has innovated an affordable approach in customizing lighting levels to satisfy your players. The system can be "pre-programmed" by your staff or the players can "manually" adjust the lighting levels on their court.
This option would provide many benefits for the players and your staff. Control the brightness of the fixtures appropriate for the level of player and activity thru "Scenes".
“I highly recommend SES Lighting I first met Nelson Scott at the CMAA World Conference in 2015 at a time when LED court lighting was still in its infancy.
I presented Nelson and SES Lighting with a challenge. We have a 3 pole layout on either side and between each court, except there are no poles at the ends between two of our courts. The lighting results exceeded our expectations and we went on in the following months to install lighting on the remaining 5 courts.
SES Lighting worked with our facilities manager throughout the installation and diligently provided us with detailed light readings and follow-up. Our court lighting is outstanding, with all courts exceeding initial projections. My members are thrilled! ”
