The Highest Praise, Proven by Perfect Light

GigaTera's Light, Illuminating the Community's Pride

This project is a premier sports lighting solution in which the aging lighting of the tennis courts at the 'Peninsula Community Center (PCC)' in California, USA, was completely replaced in 2019 with GigaTera's state-of-the-art MAHA series LED sports lighting, maximizing member satisfaction and innovating the facility's operational efficiency.

As a facility responsible for the health and vitality of the local community, the Peninsula Community Center was faced with the challenge of providing the ultimate tennis experience for its members. However, the previously installed 1000W class metal halide lamps hindered the members' playing experience due to non-uniform light quality, with both dark spots and hot spots occurring on the courts. Furthermore, high energy consumption and frequent maintenance costs were a direct cause of the facility's decreased operational efficiency.

To fundamentally solve this problem, the Peninsula Community Center chose GigaTera as its optimal partner. GigaTera provided a solution that replaced the existing 1000W metal halide lamps with 400W high-efficiency MAHA LED lighting. This was more than just changing lamps; it was a wise investment that provided members with a superior playing environment and the center with innovative operational efficiency.

The project's overwhelming success was clearly validated by an official evaluation from the facility director. Mike Ralston, the Tennis Director at PCC, began by saying, "The new lights are fantastic. Our members love them," and offered the highest praise, "We are particularly pleased with the fact that there are no longer any dark or overly bright spots on the courts." In fact, after the lighting replacement, the average illuminance of the courts was improved by 50%, and power consumption was significantly reduced by over 60%, marking it as a premier success story that perfectly achieved both goals of member satisfaction and operational efficiency.
