About Court 16:
Court 16 in Brooklyn is more than just a sports club—it’s a purpose-built space for people of all ages to learn, play, and connect through tennis and pickleball. Their team is focused on fostering inclusivity and discipline, and we were brought in to make sure their lighting system matched that mission.
Project Details:
They needed a lighting setup that checked a few big boxes: it had to be bright, uniform, safe, and tough enough to take hits from fast-moving balls. These are high-energy environments, so the fixtures couldn’t be fragile, and the light had to cover a wide footprint without creating shadows or glare.
What We Engineered:
We designed a high-output LED system built specifically for athletic spaces like this. We prioritized shatter-resistant housing and a daisy-chain wiring setup so the fixtures could run longer spans without overcomplicating the install. The light quality is even across the court, with no drop-off in intensity—critical when you’ve got quick-moving games and young players on the floor.
The Process:
We worked closely with the team at Court 16 to dial in the specs. We weren’t just supplying lights—we were solving for performance and safety at the same time. That collaboration ensured the final install worked exactly as intended, both technically and visually.
Results:
The new system delivers high visibility and durability where it counts. The courts are now brighter, safer, and more inviting—whether it’s for a serious match or a kids’ clinic. This was a great example of how thoughtful engineering makes a difference in specialty-use environments like sports facilities.
