Case Study - Campden Hill Lawn Tennis Club

Client: Campden Hill Lawn Tennis Club

Location: Kensington, London. South East.

Background

Campden Hill Lawn Tennis Club, founded in 1884, stands as one of London’s most established tennis institutions. Located in Kensington, the club boasts a loyal membership of around 1,600. Over the decades, the club has continued to invest in its facilities, which now feature six indoor and six outdoor courts—solidifying its position at the forefront of the city’s tennis scene.

The Challenge

The club faced significant challenges with its previous lighting system:

  • Substandard Lighting: An LED solution installed in 2016 produced only 370 lux, falling beneath member expectations and LTA standards.
  • Reliability Issues: Unreliable activation, sudden blackouts, and a general lack of consistency impacted court usage.
  • Member Satisfaction: The club sought a solution that would not just meet, but surpass LTA requirements for its prestigious membership.

The Solution

Luminance Pro designed and implemented an advanced LED lighting system featuring:

  • Premium Performance: Engineered to exceed all LTA indoor and competition standards for maximum visual clarity.
  • Competition Mode: An integrated setting that boosts lighting to 1000 lux for high-level tournaments and events.
  • Smart Automation: Motion sensors that activate lighting upon arrival and conserve energy during inactivity.
  • Administrative Control: A key-switch system for quick selection between match play (750 lux) and competition mode (1000 lux).

The Results

The upgrade has reinforced the club’s reputation as a forward-looking tennis venue. Automation has drastically reduced the need for manual intervention, streamlining operations and guaranteeing optimal playing conditions at all hours. The new system delivers significant energy savings while supporting the club’s commitment to excellence.
