Short answer
Which light pole is best for a padel court?
For most clubs, a curved pole is the best all-round choice: it reaches the light in over the court, keeps the pole away from the rebound area and looks elegant. Straight T poles are the most economical for long rows of courts, Z poles make a bold statement on show courts, and indoor venues can skip poles entirely with a suspended LED Halo ring.

FAQ
Pole questions.
Still unsure? WhatsApp +46 73 509 69 60 for an answer the same day.
How many light poles does a padel court need?
Four, two on each side, mounted on the court frame. Some indoor courts use no poles at all, with the LED Halo ring hanging from the roof.
How tall are padel court light poles?
The light sits a few metres above the 4 m high court walls, so players see the ball against a dark sky without glare. Indoors, the LED Halo ring is hung 6–8 m above the court.
Can I paint the light poles?
Yes. Poles are powder-coated like the frame, in any RAL colour, matte or gloss. Most clubs match the frame. Some pick a contrast colour as an accent.
Which pole do ICE X8 lights use?
LED Projects ICE X8 is mounted on curved poles, two linear lights per pole, eight per court.
Do light poles affect play?
They should not. Curved and Z poles angle away from the court so the ball cannot hit them, and the lights are placed so players do not look into them.
