DIMO has partnered with the Sri Lanka Tennis Association (SLTA) and the Sri Lanka Tennis Premier League (SLTPL) to install an international-standard floodlighting system across four of the country's key hard courts, including the iconic centre court, marking a significant upgrade to Sri Lanka's tennis infrastructure.
The new lighting system, designed in accordance with international federation guidelines, will enable year-round evening training and competition while producing playing conditions that resemble those found at leading international tournaments. The project is anticipated to strengthen player development, expand training opportunities, and enhance Sri Lanka's capacity to host high-quality nighttime tennis events. Working with leading international principal brands, DIMO is delivering the project through its in-house engineering expertise, covering technical design, electrical distribution, lighting simulations, installation, testing, and commissioning to meet international performance standards.
Players can easily follow high-speed play, overhead shots, and lobs because of the lighting system's design, which minimizes glare and provides uniform illumination. In order to reduce energy consumption and operational expenses, the design also supports broadcasting standards and integrates energy-efficient LED technology with zoned lighting controls, enabling individual courts to be illuminated independently.
Commenting on the partnership, Wijith Pushpawela, Executive Director at DIMO, said, "Great sporting achievements begin with the right infrastructure. We are providing an international-standard lighting solution through this partnership with the Sri Lanka Tennis Association and the Sri Lanka Tennis Premier League, allowing players to train longer, compete in professional settings, and prepare for the demands of the global stage. We are honored to offer our engineering expertise to a project that will help Sri Lankan tennis grow.”
Commenting on behalf of the Sri Lanka Tennis Association, Iqbal Bin Issack (President - SLTA), said, "For Sri Lankan tennis, this project is a significant turning point. Our player development programmes will be significantly strengthened by extended playing hours and international-standard lighting, which will further improve our capacity to organize local and international competitions. We are happy to partner with DIMO to provide infrastructure that will help coaches, players, and the tennis community as a whole for many years to come."
The project is progressing through installation, testing, and commissioning and is expected to be completed in the coming weeks. A nighttime exhibition match will officially unveil the upgraded courts, marking a new chapter for Sri Lankan tennis. As The Perfect Partner, DIMO keeps fueling dreams and aspirations by providing engineering solutions that have a lasting impact on communities, industries, and now Sri Lanka's sporting landscape.
