UV LED Light for Tennis Court At Twilight


I want to be able to play tennis starting at sunset, for an hour. I think that maybe using 2 UV flood lights, one on either end of the court, or possibly 2 UV flood lights, at the net, back to back, each facing towards one side of the court, would be good. What would you recommend? Have you seen this done before? I want the setup to be easily portable - I don't have anywhere to put big lighting rigs/standup poles. What are your recommendations? 

Unfortunately, the realUV™ LED Flood Light might not be the best product for illuminating a tennis court.

This is because these ultraviolet products are not designed with an output that is visible to the naked eye. I do apologize for any impact this might have on your installation plans.

Further, we, unfortunately, do not currently have any other floodlight products at this time that I could recommend.

If we pretend that this line of thinking could maybe work, and all I needed to see was the tennis ball, the dimensions I would need to be able to see the tennis ball are an area of 80 ft x 30 ft --> 2400 sq. ft. This is slightly bigger than the dimensions of a court. How would I illuminate an area of this size using your blacklights? 

Generally speaking, the realUV™ LED Flood Light can illuminate an area that is roughly 10x10 feet with UV-A output. Further, the irradiation pattern is such that distances and objects at 6 feet from the light source will receive about 47% of the maximum UV-A output.

Evenly distributed, 23 units of the floodlight would optimally wash the area in ultraviolet light, though you could also mount 10-14 units on the courtside boundary facing inward towards the court, though you would likely encounter more limitations of the irradiance pattern on the inner court. In case they prove to be helpful, the product page has several irradiance patterns for reference.
