High-Output Westgate SFP Series Pickleball and Padel Court Lights

Pickleball and padel courts are going in fast right now, on park district budgets, HOA amenity upgrades, and multi-sport rec facility retrofits, and a lot of that work lands on contractors who have never bid a dedicated court lighting package before. The fixture that shows up on the plans is often a generic area light or flood light spec'd because it was available, not because it fits the court. Westgate's new SFP Series is built specifically for that gap: a two-wattage LED platform engineered around the asymmetrical throw a rectangular court needs, not a round flood pattern forced to work.

Here is what is in the line, how the two wattages break down, and what actually matters when you are bidding, subbing, or installing it.

One Platform, Two Outputs

The SFP Series comes in two wattages, 240W and 320W, built on the same housing and optical platform. That matters more than it sounds like it should: one cut sheet, one mounting system, one IP and impact rating to submit, whether the job is a single practice court or a six-court complex. There is no cross-referencing two different manufacturers' data sheets or explaining two different mounting details to your crew.

Both wattages share the following:

• Asymmetrical 38 degree optics, designed for even coverage across a rectangular court instead of the circular hot spot typical of a standard flood light
• 5000K CCT across the line, with no color-shifting or adjustable-CCT variant to track on this series
• A yoke mount included standard, with a slip-fitter pole adapter (SFP-SF) available as a separate accessory catalog number
• IP66 and IK10 ratings, relevant for weather exposure and impact resistance at pole height
• Photometric layouts available on request from the vendor, including standard 30 Fc and 50 Fc reference layouts

The SFP Range

Both wattages are rated at 5000K and share the same optical distribution. The difference is output, and where each one earns its place on a layout.

Matching Wattage to the Court Layout

The lighting designer or engineer of record sets the foot-candle target and pole layout for the project. That is not a field decision. Where the contractor's judgment comes in is matching what is in the spec, or what is already in the ground on a retrofit, to the right catalog number, and flagging it early if something does not line up.

Single Court vs. Multi-Court Runs

A single practice court on a shared pole run is a different job than a six-court competition facility. The vendor's 30 Fc and 50 Fc reference layouts give you a starting point for how pole count and spacing typically pair with each wattage, but the actual layout still needs to come from a photometric plan run for the specific site, not scaled off a spec sheet. If the spec leaves fixture selection open to a substitution, that is when knowing the SFP range pays off: quote the 240W where the layout calls for a lighter output per pole, and the 320W where spacing or mounting height calls for more output per fixture.

Yoke Mount vs. Slip-Fitter

The yoke mount that ships with both wattages is built for direct pole-top or bracket-arm mounting. If the job is a retrofit onto an existing pole with slip-fitter hardware from a prior fixture, order the SFP-SF adapter as a separate line item rather than adapting the standard yoke to hardware it was not built for. Get this confirmed at takeoff, not on install day.

Sourcing, Stock, and Installation Across the Line

Both wattages and the slip-fitter accessory are separate catalog numbers. Treat them as separate line items on the material order, not variants of one SKU. That keeps the quote clean and avoids a change order later when the wrong mount shows up on site.

A few things worth confirming before the material order goes in:

• Confirm current stock status and lead time on both wattages before you commit to install.
• If the project is chasing utility or DLC-based rebate dollars, confirm the SFP Series' current DLC listing status with your rep before you build it into a rebate submittal. Do not assume listing status from the spec sheet alone.
• Request the photometric layout early, at bid or shortly after award, not at rough-in. A layout run after poles are already set limits what the designer can do if the numbers come back short.
• IP66 and IK10 cover weather exposure and incidental impact at the fixture. Confirm junction box, whip, and conduit entry requirements against the actual pole and run on site.

Where a Court Lighting Platform Like This Fits

The SFP Series is engineered and marketed specifically for pickleball and padel courts. If a job calls for the same rectangular, glare-controlled coverage on a tennis court, basketball court, or multi-use rec field, confirm with the designer or your RelightDepot rep whether the SFP platform is being specified for that application or whether a different fixture in the sports lighting category fits the layout better. For gymnasium and indoor court projects, RelightDepot's School Gymnasium Lighting Guide covers the indoor side of court lighting selection. For HOA and multi-family properties adding a court as a site amenity, start with the Residential and Multi-Family Lighting hub.
