Beach tennis was founded in 2002 and joined the ITF organization in 2008. It is one of the most popular emerging sports in the world, and it is also an international and professional sports. It combines the characteristics of tennis and badminton, using the pressure-free ball in tennis, which is a little smaller than normal tennis; the racket is made of hard plastic. The batting method adopted is similar to that of badminton. If the ball does not hit the ground, a point is over. However, the game method is derived from tennis doubles. The two teams take turns serving the ball across the net. The height of the net is similar to that of badminton. The venue is generally a beach, but it can also be grass, carpet or even snow. Different venues are the extension of beach tennis.
Brazil has a 7,400-kilometer golden coast, and the enthusiastic Brazilians have a unique beach culture, which can be said to be the best in the world.
Every New Year, Brazilians from all over the country gather in the capital, Rio de Janeiro, where they participate in beach carnivals, fireworks displays and carnival parades to welcome the New Year.

They occupy the forefront of the beach football world rankings all the year round. In addition, Brazil is also a beach volleyball powerhouse.
In order to play more new tricks, the Brazilians also began to promote beach tennis. Beach tennis is one of the most popular emerging sports events in the world.

Now that beach tennis is so popular, how to enjoy the fun of beach tennis at night?
At this time, it is necessary to consider the lighting design around the stadium. Similar to ordinary tennis courts, good equipment conditions can also greatly improve the experience of athletes during the game. Generally, the illumination requirements for beach tennis courts are:
1.Amateur competition (training): 150lx-300lx, general competition: 300lx-500lx,
2.Official competition: 500-750-higher (1500lx).
3.Auditorium 30lx-100lx.
In order to achieve such a lighting effect, it is necessary to choose a good lamp. At present, halogen lamps have been gradually eliminated by the market due to unfavorable factors such as high energy consumption. At present, various indoor and outdoor stadiums on the market are using LED lights, because LED lights consume less energy and have a longer service life.
Hi-Shoot and Hi-Robot are two private model LED sports lighting fixtures of Hishine Group Limited, which are used in various indoor and outdoor stadiums. They are all made of aviation-grade aluminum shells, which have excellent heat dissipation, effectively reduce the light decay of LED lights and improve the service life and maintenance rate of LED lights.
At the same time, Hi-Robot has been adopted by many golf courses abroad. Our 1300W Hi-Robot was adopted by Bolivia’s National Stadium in 2019; it was also adopted by Colombia’s National Stadium in 2019.
