An australian study on bats and light. Show its positive's.
It can be negative to slower flying species on a bigger scale than a tennis court.
Although it is well know that putting lighting on a building that is used as a roost can cause damage to bat population's. Unless it was on a bigger scale than a tennis court i carnt see it affecting local bats, And chance's are most owl's wouldnt hunt on a court and be affected.
However as i said from a light pollution, and negative impact on the local community, the waste of energy they use up i totally agree with you, and think they are pretty needless.
