The standard Basketball court is based on the standards of the International Basketball Federation. The basketball court is 28m long and 15m wide (excluding the end line and sideline of the court), and the width of each line is 0.05m (5cm). Among them, 2m outside the sideline and the end line are buffer zones. In principle, the size of the standard Basketball court including the buffer zone is 32m long and 19m wide, covering an area of 608m2.

According to international competition regulations, the minimum space above the entire stadium is 7 meters. Within this height, there must be no beams or other obstacles. All lines on the stadium must be very clear, and the boundary of the stadium must be at least 2 meters away from the audience, billboards, or any other obstacles. The boundary on the long side of the stadium is called the sideline, and the boundary on the short side is called the end line. The International Basketball Federation, Olympic basketball competitions, and World Basketball Championships are commonly used as playing fields.

For the development of basketball, professional basketball court lighting is indispensable! On the lighting of the Basketball court, shinetoo summarized the following points:

Illumination level of Basketball court: in short, it is bright enough, and the illumination level is different in different courts. Generally speaking, the vertical illuminance should be greater than 1/2 of the horizontal illuminance. When the vertical illuminance is equal to the horizontal illuminance, the environment for movement is the most ideal.

Illumination uniformity of Basketball court: whether the illumination of the sports field is uniform. The uniformity of illumination is used to measure the visual conditions of the Basketball court. Uniformity means that the Basketball court should be evenly illuminated, and there should be no too bright or too dark areas, so as to provide good visual conditions for basketball players, spectators, and judges.

Basketball court glare: whether the glare is obvious. Glare is another important factor to evaluate the lighting quality of Basketball court. The generation of glare is related to the installation mode, installation height, number and density of lamps, light distribution of lamps, etc. The glare on the basketball court is direct glare. If the lamps are low, the time source of the athletes is very dazzling when they exercise, and the eyes are uncomfortable after a long time, which seriously affects the athletes’ observation of the ball movement.Basketball court light source: stable light source and high energy efficiency. Nowadays, LED court lights are commonly used in Basketball court lighting. They have obvious advantages, high brightness, good color rendering, long life and soft light. The LED stadium dedicated light has been designed for anti glare, and is equipped with a light guide anti glare plate and anti glare grille, which not only prevents glare but also makes the illumination more uniform.

Average ground illumination of the stadium: 420Lux;

This scheme is mainly applicable to: general training, entertainment games and other ordinary basketball courts, such as community activity centers, factory Basketball court, residential areas, etc.

Option 2:

Lighting arrangement method: pole lighting on both sides of the court;

Number of lamps: 4 sets;

Distance between two lights on one side: 16 meters;

Average ground illumination of the stadium: 660Lux;

This plan is mainly applicable to standard competition courts, paid courts, professional competition courts, etc.

Option 3:

Lighting arrangement method: pole lighting on both sides of the court;

Number of lamps: 6 sets;

Each group configuration: 6-8 meter tapered steel light pole+3 billiard field light series;

Distance between two lights on one side: 9 meters;
