WANDERERS PADEL COURTS
JOHANNESBURG | GAUTENG
Padel tennis is the fastest-growing sport in the world and is taking South Africa by storm. RLS recently supplied one of South Africa’s most historic and iconic sports and recreation venues, The Wanderers Club with the lighting for their new Padel Court Centre. The brief from the client was to provide illumination of courts and common areas without creating light pollution to the adjacent hotel surrounding areas. To overcome this challenge, RLS used the Tauris Pro 168W RLS014 lensed fitting mounted at 6m and angled with a rake of only 5 degrees. This combination allowed us to provide effective lighting with high lux levels and an even light distribution over the playing area. The staircases are illuminated with our lensed Malta Post Top creating an even wash of light and Elko bollards were used on the walkways in between the courts.
