Standard basketball courts are also divided into indoor basketball courts and outdoor basketball courts. The lighting layout and lighting requirements of indoor and outdoor courts are different. For outdoor basketball court lighting, it is necessary to consider the arrangement of lamps, the installation height of lamps, and glare problems and stroboscopic problems etc.

Standard Illumination of Outdoor Basketball Court

According to international lighting standards, outdoor basketball courts with different functions have different requirements for illuminance :

1. Amateur competition (training): 150lx-300lx

2. General competition: 300lx-500lx

3. Official competition: 500-750-higher (1500lx).

4. The auditorium is 30lx-100lx.

Outdoor commercial basketball court lighting design

1.Surge protection and IP rating

Because outdoor basketball court lighting fixtures are outdoors, surge protection and IP protection levels should be first thought of. Outdoor LED lights are often damaged when a spike current or voltage is suddenly generated due to lightning or other interference from the outside. IP rating is a measure of the waterproof performance of LED lights outdoors. Generally , IP 65 can achieve a good waterproof function.

2.Anti-glare

The glare problem has always been a major factor affecting the good visual effects of players. It is well known that glare can affect people's normal vision and cause visual fatigue.Generally speaking, the problem of glare cannot be solved fundamentally, and it can only be avoided by physical means as much as possible.

3.Lighting fixture layout requirements

The layout of outdoor basketball court lighting should meet the following requirements:

1. When there is no TV broadcast, it is advisable to use the poles on both sides of the venue.

2. Adopt the lighting method on both sides of the field. The lamps should not be arranged within 20 degrees of the bottom line of the center of the ball frame. The distance between the bottom of the light pole and the edge of the field should not be less than 1 meter. The height of the lamps should meet the height of the lamp to the center line of the field. The angle between the vertical line and the site plane should not be less than 25 degrees.

3. Under any lighting method, the arrangement of light poles should not obstruct the sight of the audience.

4. Symmetrical lighting arrangements should be adopted on both sides of the venue to provide the same lighting.

4.Lighting fixture installation height

The height of the lamps in the competition venue should not be less than 12 meters, and the height of the lamps in the training venue should not be less than 8 meters.The lights of basketball courts for entertainment are generally required to be installed at about 7m.

5.No flicker

Why pay attention to the problem of strobe? Because if this basketball court needs to be televised when a basketball game is held, you need to consider this problem. If the lamp you install has a serious stroboscopic problem, this problem will be exposed during TV broadcast.

6.Indoor basketball court lighting design

Indoor basketball courts are generally used in schools, professional training stadiums and other places. Because the closeness and all-weather use determine the importance of its lighting facilities, the basic principles of lighting design and installation of indoor basketball courts are as follows:

The indoor basketball court lighting fixture is installed vertically, which is different from the oblique contrast on both sides of the outdoor basketball court lighting fixture;

Indoor basketball court lighting is different from outdoor basketball courts in terms of power and usage. Generally, the power of indoor court lighting is 80-150W. Because vertical illumination is used, the effective irradiation area of indoor court lighting is also smaller than that of outdoor courts. The number of lamps is also significantly more than that of outdoor courts;

The installation height of the indoor basketball court lamps is not less than 7 meters (no obstacles 7 meters above the basketball court). We mentioned earlier that the height of the outdoor basketball court light poles not less than 7 meters is determined according to this principle.

Indoor court lighting should follow the principle of symmetry in the arrangement of lamps and lanterns, and spread out in sequence around the court based on the center axis of the court.

Why use leds in basketball court lighting

1.High light efficiency

2.Better heat dissipation

Compared with the traditional metal halide lamp that generates a lot of heat when it is working, the heat generated by the LED as a cold light source is very small, but it does not necessarily mean that it does not generate heat. In fact, the heat dissipation problem is also a big problem for LED lights. Its heat mainly comes from electronic components when they are working.

3.Support 480V high voltage

Our LED basketball court lighting fixtures support various AC voltages, the voltage range includes 110V-480V, this range can meet the voltage needs of different countries, even for some high-voltage electric places, such as 480V, our products can also do it .

4.CRI Index: Lighting Quality

The color rendering index CRI is a common parameter in the field of lighting technology. It refers to the measurement of the degree of color conformity when an object is illuminated by this light source and a standard light source (usually the sun is used as a standard light source), that is, the degree of color fidelity.Simply put: color rendering is an important aspect of evaluating the quality of lighting, and color rendering index is an important method to evaluate the color rendering of light sources, and an important parameter to measure the color characteristics of artificial light sources. The higher the color rendering index, the higher the color rendering index of the light source. The better the color, the stronger the ability to restore the color of the object.

5.Beam angle

Compared with the traditional metal halide lamp, the lens installed in the LED lamp can meet the requirements of any luminous angle, and different luminous angles can make the light of the lamp illuminate any place on the basketball court.This can make some corners that are difficult to illuminate can be light compensated.

6.Lighting control

Current LED lamps are very smart. Compared with traditional lighting lamps, it can install various required sensors, such as infrared sensors, microwave sensors and motion sensors, etc. The installation of these sensors It enables the lamps to be controlled autonomously. In addition, people can also control through smart terminals, and the operation is relatively convenient.

7.Robust and corrosion resistant

Compared with traditional lighting fixtures, the materials used in LEDs are stronger and more corrosion-resistant, because they will not be directly scrapped due to bumps during transportation and installation, And it will not greatly reduce the service life of the led lamp due to long-term exposure to wind and rain.Our product shell uses high-quality aluminum alloy material, and the lamp shell will also be galvanized.

8.Long service life, low maintenance cost

At present, the service life of LED lamps is generally more than 50,000 hours. Based on an average of 6 hours per day, its service life can be as long as 30 years. This data may be a theoretical value, but LED lamps have longer service life than other lighting lamps is beyond doubt. In addition, the maintenance of LED lights is also very convenient, the maintenance frequency is also very low, almost no need to invest a lot of labor costs to maintain, the maintenance cost is very low.

9.Free lighting design

At present, most stadium lighting projects will invite professional lighting design companies to perform lighting design, but these professional lighting design companies usually also charge a large service fee. Our company has professional lighting design engineers, and customers appreciate our design schemes. Therefore, we are also willing to tailor the lighting design plan for each of our customers.
