Are your existing poles up to handling the weight? If not, choose your lights with care to make sure they are the same or similar to the lamps being replaced
Meeting Australian Standards:
AS2560.2.1
The main objective when lighting outdoor tennis courts, is to not only provide an even spread of light but to maximize the lux levels at 1m above the court where the action mostly happens. Asymmetric beam flood lighting is essential to reduce glare and ensure uniformity levels are as high as possible.
The Australian Standards for outdoor tennis court lighting AS2560.2.1, specifies 250 lux average as the minimum required level of lighting to ensure a game of tennis can be played safely and comfortably.
See below uniformity and glare requirements to meet the Australian Standard.

Important Points to Check When Upgrading Your Tennis Court Lighting:
Comparison of 360 Lux (above) & 110 Lux
If replacing the poles, ensure the installation is in accordance with council requirements and look into the warranties.
Have you checked existing lux levels and cross referenced the new plan to see what advantage there will be?
Has the lighting supplier proved that the uniformity and lighting levels will comply with the standards?
Have you achieved a power-usage advantage or would staying with your old MH fittings be more economical?
