Reserve Cup Marbella showcases a court illuminated for the spectacle

The Reserve Cup Series has established a distinctive position within international padel, bringing together elite competition with a carefully curated production that blends sport, entertainment, music and design. Against this backdrop, the edition held from 18 to 20 June at Puente Romano Beach Resort, Marbella, once again featured a court designed to be an integral part of the spectacle, with a lighting project delivered by Led Projects in collaboration with Padel Tech.

Specialising in the manufacture and installation of padel courts for clubs, academies, events and private developments, Padel Tech once again entrusted Led Projects with the lighting design for the centre court. The installation incorporated SHOW technology, a solution developed to meet the demands of premium events where lighting must not only provide optimum playing conditions, but also integrate seamlessly into a high-end production environment.

The Reserve Cup has built a unique identity through its distinctive format, featuring a limited number of players and an experience designed to engage spectators both on and off the court. In 2026, the tournament reached another milestone with the introduction of its first-ever women’s competition, bringing together some of the leading names in international padel in Marbella.

In an environment of this calibre, lighting plays a role that extends well beyond sporting performance. It must deliver outstanding uniformity, visual comfort and reliability for the players, while supporting an event where visual impact, spectator experience and broadcast production are integral to its identity.

The lighting project developed by Led Projects was designed to meet these demands, adapting the solution to an environment where technology and entertainment share equal importance. This collaboration further demonstrates the company’s ability to deliver bespoke lighting projects for world-class sporting events, meeting the technical and visual requirements of some of the most distinctive venues in international padel.
