Tennis Stars Illuminate the US Open Amidst Overcast Skies

At the U.S. Open, tennis stars are illuminated by innovative lighting designed to reduce light pollution, as part of a broader initiative to protect the night sky and local wildlife. The USTA Billie Jean King National tennis Center in New York is the first professional sports venue certified by DarkSky International for its eco-friendly lighting system, which directs illumination onto the courts without spilling into the surrounding area. Over the past decade, the U.S. tennis Association replaced traditional metal halide bulbs with shielded LED lights to minimize environmental impact while maintaining visibility for audiences and players. This shift reflects a growing trend in North America, where various recreational venues are adopting dark-sky-friendly lighting to foster a balance between urban night activities and ecological preservation.
