Indoor pickleball courts benefit greatly from high-performance LED lighting that enhances visibility, reduces shadows, and minimizes glare. With precise beam control and uniform light distribution, LED fixtures provide optimal conditions for both recreational and competitive play. Indoor pickleball venues often feature tight court layouts, making quality lighting essential for player performance and safety. Long-lasting, low-maintenance LEDs also help facility managers reduce operational costs while creating an inviting atmosphere for players and spectators alike.
TENNIS COURT
Lighting for indoor tennis courts must be consistent, flicker-free, and evenly distributed to support fast-paced play and prevent player eye strain. LED indoor sports lighting offers high lumen output, superior color rendering, and instant-on capabilities—ensuring athletes can track fast-moving balls and react quickly. Durable and energy-efficient, these systems reduce downtime and utility costs while improving the overall playing experience in enclosed environments.
BASKETBALL COURT
Indoor basketball courts require lighting systems that deliver high uniformity and low glare to support visibility from every angle—on the court and in the stands. LED indoor sports lighting ensures that fast-paced movements and rapid direction changes are clearly visible without shadowing or flicker. With long lifespans and minimal maintenance, LEDs are a cost-effective solution for school, college, and professional basketball facilities seeking reliable and efficient lighting.
FIELDHOUSE
Fieldhouses accommodate a variety of indoor sports and events, which calls for flexible, multi-use lighting systems. LED lighting offers excellent adaptability with customizable beam angles, dimmable features, and smart controls that can adjust to different activities. Whether it’s hosting volleyball, basketball, or community gatherings, LED lights help ensure consistent visibility and create a welcoming environment while keeping energy use and maintenance low.
GYMNASIUM
Gymnasiums are multipurpose spaces that benefit from bright, uniform lighting for sports, assemblies, and educational activities. LED gym lighting offers outstanding energy savings, high performance, and easy installation in both new builds and retrofit applications. These fixtures reduce glare, minimize shadows, and provide a safe, engaging space for students and athletes alike—all with low maintenance needs and a long operational life.
HOCKEY ARENA
Indoor hockey arenas demand powerful and glare-free lighting to illuminate fast-paced action on the ice. LED arena lights deliver high brightness with precise optical control, ensuring clarity for both players and spectators, while minimizing reflection off the ice. Designed to perform in cold, humid environments, LED fixtures are ideal for the unique conditions of hockey rinks, offering reliability, efficiency, and excellent visibility during games and practices.
ICE RINKS
Lighting for indoor ice rinks must overcome the challenges of reflective surfaces and cold temperatures. LED lighting is ideal for this environment, offering flicker-free illumination, high color rendering, and uniform coverage.

With robust performance and low energy consumption, LEDs are the perfect choice for modern ice rink facilities.

Indoor sports lighting comes with a whole different set of considerations than outdoor. Ceiling heights can vary a great deal from one location to another, and there might be ventilation and steel beams to work around, among other things.
Whether you’re lighting a multi-purpose gym, with basketball and volleyball courts, an ice rink, a fitness center, fieldhouse, or something else, LSI Sports Lighting has the solution. A variety of modular high bays, round high bays, and indirect fixtures round out the wide selection of indoor luminaires. With ample lumen and other customization options, our indoor lineup is a sure shot.
