LED Stadium Lights for Basketball

Lighting is crucial for any basketball court, arena, or stadium. It directly impacts player performance, enhances the viewing experience for spectators, and significantly influences energy consumption and operational costs. AEON LED provides cutting-edge LED lighting systems designed specifically to meet the high demands of sports venues.

With remarkable energy efficiency, long-lasting durability, and exceptional performance, AEON LED’s Sports-PRO Series offers the perfect lighting solution for basketball courts, arenas, and stadiums.

Why Arenas Love Us

One of the standout features of AEON LED lighting is its impressive energy efficiency. Traditional HID lighting systems consume significantly more power compared to LED systems. For instance, the AEON-Sports-PRO-750 delivers 126,500 lumens while using just 750 watts, making it an ideal replacement for 3000W HID fixtures. This results in up to 75% energy savings, which reduces operating costs over time and offers a sustainable lighting solution that’s kinder to the environment.

In addition to energy savings, AEON LED luminaires are built to last. They have a lifespan of over 100,000 hours, significantly outlasting traditional HID lamps, which typically last between 10,000 and 20,000 hours. This long lifespan greatly reduces maintenance and replacement costs, making AEON LED luminaires a cost-effective choice in the long run. This durability is especially beneficial for large venues where accessing maintenance fixtures can be challenging and expensive.

AEON LED products are also environmentally friendly. They help reduce sports venues’ carbon footprint by consuming less energy and lasting longer. With no hazardous materials like mercury, AEON LED luminaires provide a greener, more sustainable alternative that doesn’t compromise on quality or performance.

Advanced Features of AEON LED Sports Lighting

AEON LED luminaires have advanced features, making them the perfect choice for basketball courts and arenas. These features enhance player performance and spectator experience while offering flexibility and long-term cost savings.

Some of the most notable features include:

1. Glare-free optics technology: This ensures that players can focus on the game without being distracted by harsh lighting while spectators enjoy a clear view of the action. With a UGR (Unified Glare Rating) of less than 19, AEON LED luminaires are ideal for live games and 4K/HDTV broadcasts, delivering crisp, high-quality visuals in person and on screen.
2. Field-changeable design: The AEON Sports-PRO Series’ modular design allows for easy upgrades or modifications of lenses, LED modules, and drivers without needing to replace the entire fixture. This future-proofs your investment by allowing for adjustments as technology evolves, saving time and money.
3. Instant on/off capability: Unlike traditional HID lights that require a warm-up period, AEON LED lights turn on instantly. This feature adds convenience and reduces energy consumption by allowing the lights to be turned on only when needed.
4. Dimmable and adjustable lighting: AEON LED lights are dimmable, offering the flexibility to adjust brightness levels based on the event. Whether a practice session or a televised match, lighting levels can be easily controlled via wireless systems, making it convenient and energy-efficient.

Indoor vs. Outdoor Court Lighting

AEON LED’s high-bay luminaires, such as the AEON-Sports-PRO-520, provide exceptional lighting performance for indoor basketball courts. These fixtures deliver 97,500 lumens using just 520 watts and are perfect for ceiling heights ranging from 20 to 30 feet. They ensure even, consistent light distribution across the entire playing area. With their glossy surfaces, indoor courts can reflect light, but AEON’s glare-reducing technology minimizes this issue, providing optimal lighting for both players and spectators.

AEON LED offers the AEON-Sports-PRO-1200 for outdoor basketball courts, which delivers 185,700 lumens and is built to withstand harsh weather conditions with its IP67 rating. This means it is fully resistant to dust and water, making it perfect for outdoor applications. These fixtures are designed to be mounted on poles between 20 and 30 feet high, ensuring broad, even coverage for outdoor courts. Built-in surge protection and advanced thermal management ensure reliable performance in any weather, from intense heat to heavy rain.

Meeting Lighting Standards

AEON LED luminaires are designed to meet the highest illumination standards, providing optimal visibility for players and an enjoyable experience for spectators, whether the game is recreational or professional.

For recreational and training courts, lighting needs typically fall between 20 and 30 footcandles, providing adequate visibility and safety for casual play. High school courts require higher lighting levels, around 30 to 75 footcandles, to meet the demands of competitive games. For college and professional courts, especially those hosting televised events, the required lighting level increases to 150 to 200 footcandles. AEON LED luminaires are equipped to meet these strict standards, providing precise lighting control and consistent performance across all levels of play.

Cost Considerations

While the upfront cost of installing AEON LED lighting may be higher than traditional systems, the long-term benefits far outweigh the initial investment. AEON LED luminaires are designed to offer significant savings and performance advantages over time.

Here are some key reasons why AEON LED lighting is a cost-effective solution:

• Up to 75% energy savings compared to traditional lighting systems, dramatically reducing ongoing operational costs.
• 100,000-hour lifespan significantly reduces maintenance expenses, as fixtures last much longer than traditional options.
• 170+ lumens per watt efficiency, meaning fewer fixtures are needed to achieve the desired lighting levels, further reducing installation and energy costs.
• Customized solutions tailored to the specific needs of your court, taking into account factors such as court size, competition level, and fixture quality to ensure an optimal balance of performance and affordability.
