We are taking you inside the transformation of the Virginia Legacy Elite indoor softball facility ⚾️

The space was originally lit with outdated fixtures that created uneven lighting, dark spots, and limited visibility, impacting both player performance and the overall training experience.

We upgraded the facility with high-performance LED lighting, delivering brighter, more uniform light across the entire field.

The result? Improved visibility, enhanced player focus, and a safer, more professional environment for athletes to train and compete.

Better lighting. Better play. Better results.

From dark spots to professional-level illumination, the right lighting makes the right difference. Explore our lighting solutions today on our website. We’ve added it to the comments for easy access!

Pickleball Kingdom builds most of its locations inside refurbished buildings, which means ceiling height, wall proximity, and corner coverage are inherited rather than chosen. Those constraints drive real decisions. Fixtures too close to a wall create a hot spot, and the fix can be as specific as adding a dome or lens on some fixtures and not others. Karen's point about that is the one worth remembering. Nobody in the building is evaluating the ceiling. They're evaluating what the light does three feet above the court.

That's why we sat down with Karen Nettleton, Vice President of Design and Construction at Pickleball Kingdom, to talk about how a lighting partnership functions as technical backup when franchisee expectations and good lighting design don't line up.

In this episode, we cover:
- Why franchisee requests sometimes need a technical answer, not just a yes
- How refurbished buildings change what a lighting plan can do
- Why ceiling height determines whether up light is even on the table
- What causes hot spots on walls and how domes or lenses soften them
- Why corner coverage and fixture to wall distance get reviewed on every plan
- Why the only measurement that matters is the light three feet above the ground

This episode is for franchise development teams, facility operators, and anyone answering to stakeholders about why a lighting design looks the way it does.

Mounting fixtures over the playing surface puts the light source directly in a player's line of sight on every lob and overhead. Moving the fixtures to the sides of the court removes the glare from the sky, which is the part players actually feel.

The tradeoff is that side mounting makes the foot candle math harder. Light no longer falls straight down onto the surface, so spacing, aiming, and mounting height have to do more of the work. For Pickleball Kingdom, that tradeoff was worth making, because glare in a player's eyes ruins a point in a way that a slightly harder design problem never will.

We sat down with Karen Nettleton, Vice President of Design and Construction at Pickleball Kingdom, to talk about side-mounted court lighting, holding uniformity across the playing surface, and why the king court gets treated differently from the rest.

In this episode, we cover:
- Why fixtures on the sides of the court beat fixtures over it and how to maintain uniformity
- What side mounting costs you in foot candle design and how to solve for it
- Why a min/max uniformity ratio matters more than a single brightness number
- How much brighter the king court should be than the surrounding courts
- Why player experience is the right measure for a lighting decision

This episode is for pickleball facility owners, club operators, and anyone specifying court lighting who wants players to stop noticing the fixtures.

Uniform light across a pickleball court keeps the ball visible from the kitchen to the baseline, on lobs, overheads, and serves alike. When the design accounts for mounting height, spacing, and glare from the start, players stop noticing the lighting and start noticing their game.

A club operating multiple locations can give members the same playing experience at every site, making lighting part of the brand rather than a variable to manage on a location-by-location basis.

That's why we sat down with Karen Nettleton, Vice President of Design and Construction at Pickleball Kingdom, to talk about how her team moved from placing fixtures in-house to handing court layouts to LED Lighting Supply's Product Specialists, and what that did for consistency across their locations.

In this episode, we cover:
- Why uniformity matters more than total foot-candles on a pickleball court
- How mounting height and fixture spacing shape playability more than fixture count
- Why photometric planning gets courts right the first time
- How clear guardrails speed up a lighting design instead of limiting it
- What it takes to keep lighting consistent as new locations open

This episode is for pickleball facility owners, club operators, and franchise development teams who want every court in every location to play the same way.

Siemens Energy was dealing with a common factory problem of outdated T5 fluorescent lights delivering only 40 foot-candles. This is well below the 50-60 foot candle recommendation for a safe, productive workspace.

The Facility Manager, Mark Phair, reached out to LED Lighting Supply seeking a lighting upgrade for the factory space.

The problem? Metal halide lighting simply won’t supply bright, uniform light for a functional warehouse. Siemens Energy needed a solution that would deliver 50+ foot-candles.

With the mounting height and layout already set, the challenge was clear: Deliver safe lighting levels across the entire warehouse.

Our Product Specialist, Jeff Cesenaro, recommended replacing the legacy lights with upgraded 200 Watt LED UFO high bay fixtures.

The Results:
- Increased lighting levels in a demanding environment, maximizing worker safety
- Maximum uniformity in the shop area, improving worker precision while reducing safety risks
- Reduced energy consumption by 50-90%
- Extended fixture lifespan from 100,000 to 134,000 hours
- Projected $125,000+ in savings over 5 years

Facility Manager Mark said it best: "We are seeing a big improvement in light levels on the shop floor!!"

Better light. Lower costs. Safer workers. That's the LED Lighting Supply difference.

What is the best solution for upgrading outdated metal halide loading dock fixtures, without complicating the install?

The Chicago Bears needed to upgrade three outdated metal halide fixtures at the south loading dock of their practice facility without a full replacement. LED Lighting Supply’s long-standing customer, Meade, was hired as the contractor and requested our support with the lighting for this project.

The Challenge:
Three metal halide lamps at a loading dock needed to be upgraded. The goal was low-maintenance, easy-to-install, and efficient lights with no unnecessary headaches.

The Solution:
Our Product Specialist, Mike Ciaffone, recommended a 240W LED shoebox retrofit kit. A powerful, streamlined option designed to upgrade the existing fixtures without full replacement.

The Result:
- Smooth installation
- Flexible mounting with provided brackets
- Quick on-site adjustment
- Exactly what the engineers were looking for

Here’s what Meade’s Project Manager, Izzy Riveria, had to say after the lights were installed: "We were very pleased with the quality of the kit and the ability to easily install it with the provided brackets and/or with a quick, easy adjustment to the fixture on our part."

A home improvement restoration store affiliated with Habitat for Humanity provides affordable donated furniture, appliances, and building materials to the public, with all profits supporting local affordable housing construction and repair.

As a non-profit, the facility needed a lighting solution that would enhance the shopping experience while also reducing ongoing energy costs.

They partnered with LED Lighting Supply to address the challenge.

The existing fluorescent system created dark zones, glare, and high operating costs. Working with lighting specialists, the facility upgraded to adjustable LED high bays paired with a custom lighting layout designed for uniform coverage across the sales floor.

The impact was immediate: brighter product displays, improved visibility throughout the store, and significantly reduced energy consumption.

The project is projected to deliver over $5,000 in savings within five years, including nearly $2,000 in annual energy cost reductions.

Most importantly, the improved environment supports a better customer experience. This was the key to driving more funding toward Habitat for Humanity’s mission of building and repairing affordable homes in the local community.
