Ansell has launched Exa-C – a floodlight designed specifically for padel courts.

Padel is widely recognised as the fastest-growing sport in the UK with the Lawn Tennis Association reporting participation levels reaching 860,000 players and the number of padel courts estimated at more than 1,500.

Responding to the growing demand Ansell has developed Exa-C – a lightweight, compact luminaire constructed from low-density aluminium alloy that enables fast and accurate installation.

To support optimal and professional-standard surface illumination, the floodlight features precision lenses to control beam distribution, with an integrated visor for effective glare control and reduced light spill in built up areas.

The luminaire is IP66 rated, ensuring complete protection against dust and water, making it an ideal solution for outdoor courts. A high quality AkzoNobel anti-corrosion powder coating has also been used to provide exceptional durability in harsh environments.

Mark Abbott, Managing Director at Ansell Lighting said: “Padel has become hugely popular in the last few years, and so demand for specialised, high-quality lighting has never been higher. The Exa C provides better visibility for players and a professional-standard playing environment, along with reliable performance all year round.

“As a leading manufacturer, we want to ensure our customers have access to high performing products they can rely on and this is a great example of a product that meets a need as well as delivering durability and ease of installation.”
