Led Lights For Basketball Court-2025 Buyer’s Guide
Our LED lights for basketball court is suitable for residential, commercial or professional applications. High mast LED floodlights are suitable for outdoor basketball courts such as backyards, high schools, colleges, and parks.
In 2019, we developed an advanced indoor LED lighting system for NBA basketball courts. The ceiling lights offer up to 1500 to 2000 Lux (brightness) levels for professional competition. Led lights for basketball court are more energy efficient and are the best alternative to metal halides, halogens, HPS, mercury vapor and fluorescent lighting. In addition, it lasts longer than those traditional lighting solutions. Let’s explore how to light up a basketball court.
What Is The Lighting Standard of Basketball Court?
Lighting designs and standards for outdoor residential, recreational, commercial and professional basketball courts will be also different. According to the basketball lighting guide, backyard and recreational activities require around 200 люкс, regional or club competitions require 300-500lux, for national or international competition will require 500-750Lux, and if need for televised events, then even require about 2000lux.
Since a standard basketball court is 28x15m, how many power do we need to light up the basketball court?
200Lux (Backyard and recreational activities)
As we caculated in a Dialux Design, it will need 8pcs our 200W led lights to achieve a lux level of 200lux all the field, and 8pcs our 500W led lights for basketball court to achive a lux level of 500lux.
However, the light power and number of lights are varies according to the types of the luminaire, size of the ball field, the height of the pole.So it is better to contact our professional engineer to make a design according to your basketball court details.
In addition, lux level(brightness), we can have a look at lighting uniformity. In the above picture, you can also see there are different color portions. The majority area has white color. which means 200lux(picture 1) or 500 люкс(picture 2). You can see there are quite large and uniform white region. This means the lighting uniformity requirement is very high. If there are too many dim or sudden bright spots, there will irritate the eyes of player, judges and the spectators looking at the court as well as the basketball hoop. We provide our clients with free DIALux design to accurately predict the lighting outcome.
Why Use Led Lights For Basketball Courts To Replace Metal Halide And Halogen?
1. LED has longer life span
Proper indoor basketball court floodlights can reduce your operating costs and maintenance costs. This is because you don’t need to replace LED lights as often. If you install the current metal halide, you will find that the service life is very short. Plus, after a few months to a year of use, you’ll feel a noticeable drop in brightness. However. Leds have a lifespan of 80,000 hours, equivalent to 30 years based on using for 6-7 hours a day. The lifespan of metal halides is about five times shorter than Leds. And the halogen is 1/10 of that. Therefore, replacing them with leds can save you time and maintenance costs.
2. Better cooling system
Heat accumulation in the body of the lamp can damage the floodlights. We attach great importance to improving the heat dissipation performance of leds because good heat management can improve the performance of lamps (such as higher brightness and lifespan). The photo above illustrates that our LED lights have a dense aluminum fin design. It provides a larger surface area for heat transfer. Especially for the indoor low bay basketball court lighting, effective heat dissipation makes LED lamps longer life. This is because the accumulated heat accelerates the lumen’s depreciation. Rarely do we see such complex designs in HID and halogen lamps.
3. Energy Saving LED Lights
In addition to life cycle and efficient cooling system, our LED lights have super bright chips. LED has an energy efficiency of 140-170 lm/W, which is a double of metal halide lamp or more. As a result, replacing a 1000 watt metal halide to LED can save up to 50% in energy costs while maintaining the same brightness.
Conclusion
We hope this comprehensive guide will help you in selecting the best led lights for basketball courts.

However, selecting the wrong beam angle can lead to uneven lighting across the field, creating dark spots that negatively impact the experience for both players and spectators.
2. Which lamp are used in stadium?
LED stadium lights are the best choice when compare to halogen lamps or mercury etc. LED to replace metal halides is more brighter, much more energy efficient and more durable.
3. How many lumens is per LED stadium light?
Most LED stadium lights are about 150-170lm/w, 600W LED stadium light is above 90,000 lm to replace a 1500 watt metal halide sports light, lumens is the amount of light from a fixture and differs from the light on the ground, known as footcandles.
