WHY FLOODLIGHT
When do you give up tennis for the winter as the nights start to draw in? October, or even September? Weather permitting; Anglia & Midland tennis courts are playable all year round. We now have the answer to dark evenings in the economical AMlight Classic floodlighting system, allowing full use of your court and enabling you to keep match fit all year round.For club courts, and MUGA's we offer AMlight Pro systems to provide match standard lighting for your particular situation.
AMlight Classic FLOODLIGHTING SYSTEMS
All AMlight Classic systems are designed to give excellent lighting of single tennis courts for recreational use. They are based on the use of 6.0 metre high, 95mm diameter light alloy poles, which are powder coated black to give a durable finish and more pleasing appearance. These poles are fitted with a hinge assembly at the base, which permits the columns to be folded down, allowing easy maintenance of the lamps when required without the necessity of a scaffold tower. On our standard systems with one or two lamps per pole this is easily achieved by a single reasonably fit person. We offer two types of lamp, giving equivalent performance in terms of evenness of illumination. Quartz-Halogen lamps (8000, 9000 systems) give instant switch on, and excellent white light for good colour rendition, but are relatively expensive to run at about 66 pence per hour for electricity and replacement, lamps, assuming 1000 hour life. Metal-Halide lamps ( 2400 system ) are more economical to run at about 23 pence per hour, assuming 6000 hour life and give about 30% more light in an equivalent configuration. These lamps also give a bright white light, and take about 5 minutes to reach full operating efficiency from switch on. Quartz-Halogen lamps are appropriate where usage is relatively low, or when instant illumination is required, and if a high capacity supply is available. Metal-Halide lamps are appropriate where high usage is envisaged, or the power supply is inadequate for Quartz-Halogen lamps.
AMlight PRO FLOODLIGHTING SYSTEMS
AMlight PRO systems are custom designed to give match standard lighting of single or multiple tennis courts. They are based on the use of 8.0 metre high fixed steel columns with conventional projector floodlights or 6.0m high box fittings where required by environmental considerations. Metal-Halide lamps are used exclusively as the higher power drain of Quartz-Halogen lamps is impractical.
PLANNING REQUIREMENTS
Generally, planning permission is required for floodlighting. Your council planning department will advise you if a formal application is required in your area. If so, we can assist by supplying Design information, lux levels etc.
EQUIPMENT SUPPLIED
The AMlight Classic system is supplied as pre-wired and tested lamps and poles, with hinged base plates all erected and aligned . On all systems, provision is made for termination of incoming supply cables in a weatherproof box near the base of each column. As the materials required for provision of the electrical supply will vary from site to site these are not provided. We find it most economic to the customer for him to arrange provision of an electrical supply by a local electrical contractor, but we will happily quote for a complete installation package on request. AMlight PRO systems are offered as a complete package including cabling and ducting.

AMlight 8000 ::
The AMlight 8000 system is designed primarily for single domestic courts where, for aesthetic reasons, the minimum number of columns is required. This system uses four columns, each with two 1000-Watt Quartz-Halogen lamps, and gives an evenness of illumination of about 1.5 to 1 over the lined playing area. Power consumption is 8 kW.
AMlight 9000 / AMlight 2400 ::
These two systems, using Quartz-Halogen and Metal Halide lamps respectively, are to be preferred for optimum performance. They give a similar evenness of illumination to the 8000 system, but by using a single lamp on each of six columns the lamp aims directly across the court are such as to give a design almost totally free from glare. Power consumption is 9 kW for the 9000 system and 3.0 kW for the 2400 system.
AM light 3200 ::
The AMlight 3200 system is designed to give the ultimate performance on a single private court. An extension of the AMlight 2400 concept, it uses 8 columns, 4 down each side of the court with a 400 watt Metal-Halide lamp on each. This system gives more illumination in the back corners of a court, and is particularly recommended for installation on an international sized court.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS ::
We are always happy to look at your special requirements, and advise on complete schemes. We can put additional lamps on the poles to light car parks, foot paths etc.
