Basketball Court Lighting For Home Courts

What Is The Best Flood Light For Basketball Courts At Home?

So what is the best flood lighting for basketball courts at home?

Outdoor Basketball Court Lighting Standards Differ For Home Courts

With improved lighting standards, high pressure sodium and huge metal halide stadium lights are largely a thing of the past. Sports lighting, assessed against televised event standards, can easily be oversold for backyard basketball lighting, where a simple, one light solution will often suffice. Compact basketball court light fixtures with modern LEDs positioned above the hoop are excellent for lighting half courts in residential settings.

Home Basketball Court Lighting For Extra Safety

Aspiring ballers of all ages can push the needle on practice and find themselves victims of a trip after the sun sets. Without adequate illumination, innocent bystanders won’t see wayward shots and without uniformity of light, playing in shadows or glare can be an uncomfortable challenge.

Backyard Basketball Court Lighting for Spectators

Home basketball lighting isn’t only for the players. Even in the absence of a regular sell-out crowd on home courts, there’s often a keen spectator wanting to watch, but after dusk, it’s impossible. Conversely, residential basketball court lighting shouldn’t light up the entire neighbourhood, it’s doubtful everyone in your street wants to watch the game!
