LED lighting for pickleball, basketball, and tennis courts. Built to handle Texas weather and keep the game going after dark.
A finished court doesn’t stop at sundown. Lighting turns it into an all-day playing space, keeping the game going after dark and giving the whole setup a finished, intentional look.
Fixtures are hardwired to your existing electrical and set up with a timer or switch, so turning it on is as easy as flipping a light in your house. Whether you’re adding it to a new build or an existing court, installation is straightforward and done by the same crew that builds the courts.
The right configuration depends on your court size. Smaller courts need less, larger courts need full coverage — here’s how it breaks down.
Our LED light poles bring the perfect amount of light for your setup without causing a neighborhood eye sore. Each pole comes with a tiltable and rotatable flood light head to angle the light exactly where you need it. The light poles come hardwired to your existing breaker box and easily accessible with a switch or a timer. Consult with our expert team on exactly what lighting needs your court requires.
We install court lighting for all court types, adding it during the initial build saves time, reduced cost and keeps everything seamless.

Pickleball, basketball, tennis, and multi-sport.
Most backyard pickleball or half-court basketball setups light well with two poles, one on each long side, centered on the net or free-throw line. For a full tennis or full basketball court, or if you want tournament-level uniformity, plan on four poles, one near each corner just outside the playing surface. We run a photometric layout for your exact court dimensions in San Antonio so you get even light without hot spots, and you only pay for the poles you actually need.
North San Antonio near Camp Bullis has military lighting overlay rules that limit upward light. Our layouts are designed to comply.
Our standard is 20 feet, tall enough to clear lobs and overhead shots while staying within most neighborhood height rules. Depending on your setup we may go as low as 18 feet, but 20 feet gives the cleanest, most even coverage and keeps glare out of players’ eyes. Taller poles are used for tennis courts and commercial facilities. Send us your address in San Antonio and we check your local ordinance and HOA rules before we quote anything.
Some north San Antonio HOAs cap pole height at 18 feet. We confirm before ordering poles.
Not if they are spec’d right. We use full-cutoff, dark-sky compliant LED fixtures with house-side shields so light lands on the court and stops at your property line. The fixtures aim down, not out, so there is no glare into neighbor windows. We can run a light spillover simulation and hand it to your HOA before anything is installed. Pair that with a timer so lights shut off automatically at a set hour, and neighbor complaints in San Antonio are rare.
The Camp Bullis lighting overlay in north Bexar County requires shielded, downward fixtures, which is what we install everywhere anyway.
Cheap solar floodlights are not bright enough to light a full court evenly. Commercial-grade solar lighting can work for casual play and avoids trenching and electrical costs, but output drops on cloudy days and in winter. Wired LED lighting is the better choice for consistent brightness during serious nighttime play, and it is what we recommend for most courts in San Antonio. Tell us how you plan to use your court and we will recommend the right setup.
San Antonio’s high sun hours give solar its best shot in Texas, but wired LED still wins for serious play.
Yes, and we recommend it. Most of our setups include a wall switch with a photocell, a scheduling timer, or a Wi-Fi smart switch so the lights only run when you want them on. Automatic shut-off at a set hour saves energy and keeps the neighbors happy. Motion sensors and remote controls are easy add-ons. Smart switches let you turn the court on from your phone before you walk out. We wire the control at the house for every San Antonio install.
San Antonio installs near Camp Bullis typically include a timer to meet lighting overlay rules.
A long time. Quality LED sports fixtures are rated for 50,000 to 100,000 hours, which is decades of nightly play before you would think about replacing anything. There are no bulbs to change, and LEDs hold their brightness far better than old metal halide lights, which dim noticeably within a few years. Most fixtures we install in San Antonio carry a 5 to 10 year manufacturer warranty on top of that. They also use about half the electricity of older fixtures.
San Antonio’s sun and heat stress fixture housings. UV-stable, heat-rated fixtures last the full rating here.
Yes. Adding lighting to an existing court is straightforward. We set the poles just outside the court edge, trench conduit back to your electrical panel, mount and aim the fixtures, and install the switch or timer at the house. The court surface is not touched. Most retrofit installs in San Antonio are done in one to two days. If you are also planning a resurface, doing both at once saves a mobilization.
San Antonio’s north-side rock is similar. We bring the right trenching equipment so the job stays on schedule.
We trench conduit from the light poles back to your existing breaker box and wire everything in directly. No generators and no extension cords, just a clean hardwired connection to your home’s electrical system with a switch or timer at the house. As long as your panel has available capacity (most court lighting draws less than a large air conditioner), it is a permanent, code-compliant install. Electrical work is done by a licensed electrician and permitted where required in San Antonio.
San Antonio electrical permits go through Development Services, and our licensed electrician files them.
