How bright is the basketball court lighting
Traditional light sources are difficult to achieve perfect lighting. After the advent of LEDs, people want to pursue perfection. Today, there are many LED special lighting, photosynthetic lighting, automotive lighting, medical lighting, and stadium lighting. . Stadium lighting is a part of sports lighting. Sports lighting can show the image of a country, region or city. It is an important carrier of the economic strength, technological level, and social and cultural development of a country and region.
Stadium lights
Like other lighting, sports lighting also pursues "green lighting", "healthy lighting" and "scientific lighting". The important thing is that its requirements for all aspects of light are basically higher than other types of lighting, such as color rendering, Stroboscopic index. So the stadium lighting is destined to be different from other lamps.
If you go to play basketball at night, how bright you want the basketball court to be, I think you will definitely say that it is as bright as the day. This reflects the high expectations of golfers for the lighting of the court, but the basketball court should be illuminated as bright as the day, not only consumes a lot of electricity, but also poses a big challenge to the installation technology of the basketball court lighting. Therefore, major lighting companies have tailored stadium lighting fixtures for stadium lighting in order to minimize the difficulty of stadium lighting construction. For example, China Big Dipper customized various stadium lighting according to the characteristics of various stadiums, such as football field lighting, basketball court lighting, tennis court lighting...
Stadium lights
It is unrealistic to want stadium lighting to be as bright as natural light during the day. So, is there a standard for stadium lighting? Of course there is, that is the white paper "Sports Stadium Lighting Design and Testing Standards". The lighting designers of major stadiums basically refer to the standards in this book. In the standard, the stadium lighting is divided into 6 levels: (training and entertainment), (amateur competition/professional training), (professional competition), (TV relaying national/international competitions), (TV broadcasting major international competitions), ( HDTV broadcasts major international competitions). From the name of the stadium lighting level, it can be seen that it is divided according to the needs of various sports modes, and the stadium lighting requirements are gradually increased. In outdoor basketball court lighting, (training and recreational activities) levels require an average illuminance of about 300 lux. Maybe you have no idea about 300lux. So do you know the illuminance of commercial pedestrian streets, roads mixed with vehicles and pedestrians? I don't know this, but there are also relevant regulations, that is, the average illuminance is above 15 lux. It can be seen that sports lighting can be regarded as a luxury for road lighting, after all, it is a gap of 20 times.
You can make an assumption. If the illuminance of a basketball court is 15lux, how to upgrade to 300lux? If more lamps are added, then light poles will be added. However, if there are too many light poles around a basketball court, the probability of golfers installing the light poles is high, which is not safe. What about without a light pole? Then the number of lights on each pole will increase, and the overall windward surface of the pole will also increase, which is not safe enough. How about replacing more powerful lamps? It seems reasonable. But basketball court lighting is still a bit technically difficult.
Usually, the entire basketball court is 28 meters long and 15 meters wide. Some stadiums have 4 light poles, and some have 6 light poles. With certain restrictions on the number, position, and height of the light poles, it is difficult to control the uniformity of the basketball court lighting. The area far away from the surrounding four lights is definitely darker. This issue was taken into consideration when designing stadium lighting fixtures. Stadium lighting fixtures have high luminous efficiency, long range, and a variety of light distribution curves. There are lenses with narrow, medium, and wide angles to choose from. The light distribution is flexible, which is convenient to improve the uniformity of stadium lighting and effectively prevent overflow.
