한국어 Players often ignore lighting quality in indoor badminton. However, it is crucial for player performance and viewer experience. Good lighting helps with visibility and reduces energy costs. It ensures smooth gameplay and lessens strain on players and venue operators.
Indoor Badminton Court Lighting Pain Points
- Poor Lighting Quality
Approximately 60% of indoor badminton courts struggle with inadequate lighting. The brightness levels are often too low, making it difficult for players to track the shuttlecock in mid-air. For a sport that relies on swift reflexes and precision, poor lighting is a major setback. - Low Lux Levels
Many indoor courts provide light levels of 200-300 lux. This is much lower than the Badminton World Federation’s suggestion of 500-750 lux. This leads to difficulties in judging the shuttlecock’s speed and trajectory, resulting in more errors during play. - Short Lamp Lifespan and High Replacement Costs
Traditional lamps in indoor badminton courts typically last 10,000 to 20,000 hours. This means frequent replacements, often leading to significant operational costs and downtime. For a venue with 12 courts, replacing lamps can cost up to $2,000 per light. - Glare and Eye Strain
Glare is a serious issue in many venues. If the Glare Rating (GR) is over 30, it can cause eye strain. This reduces player performance and raises the risk of injury. Many older lighting systems have a GR between 31-35, which is too high for optimal performance. - High Energy Consumption
Traditional lighting solutions use a lot of energy. They can consume 50 to 60 kWh per hour for a 1,000 square meter badminton court. This amounts to an annual lighting cost of around $50,000 to $60,000, which is a major expense for venue owners.
Standard Size of a Badminton Court
When planning an indoor badminton court, space is a key factor. So, how much space do you need for badminton? According to badminton court specifications, the court’s length should be 13.4 meters, and the width should be 6.1 meters for doubles. For singles, the width is reduced to 5.18 meters.
This space requirement also affects the badminton court lighting setup. To provide proper illumination without casting shadows or glare, it’s essential to place LED lights for badminton courts at optimal heights and angles. For professional courts, badminton lights must cover the entire playing area uniformly.
The standard badminton court size for singles is 44 feet (13.4m) long and 17 feet (5.18m) wide. For doubles, the court is 20 feet (6.1m) wide. The badminton court height in feet should be at least 20 feet (6.1 meters) to accommodate the high flight of the shuttlecock.
LEDrhythm's Solution
- Bright, Even Lighting
LEDrhythm offers high-performance LED lights for badminton courts designed to provide an average illuminance of 800-1,000 lux. The uniformity of the lighting exceeds 0.7, ensuring consistent brightness across the entire court. This reduces the strain on players’ eyes and helps them better track the shuttlecock during games and training sessions. - Long-Lasting LED Technology
LEDrhythm’s badminton court lighting systems offer superior durability, with a lifespan exceeding 50,000 hours. This translates to lower maintenance costs and fewer disruptions, allowing venues to remain operational without frequent downtime for replacements. - Anti-Glare Technology
The anti-glare design ensures a Glare Rating (GR) below 30, eliminating the risk of visual discomfort for players. This allows for extended play without eye fatigue, enhancing player focus and performance. - Energy-Efficient and Environmentally Friendly
The energy consumption of LEDrhythm’s LED badminton lights is dramatically reduced compared to traditional systems. Our lighting solutions lower energy use by up to 60%. This helps cut costs and makes your facility greener.

Case – Hubei Olympic Center Badminton Court
Take the badminton court at the Hubei Olympic Center as an example. Before using LEDrhythm lighting, the venue had poor lighting with only 350 lux. The Glare Rating was high at 35, and 20% of the lamps needed replacing yearly. Energy consumption was also high at 55 kw/h per hour.
Solution:
We made a special lighting system for it. We used high-brightness and high-uniformity Apollo linear LED lights. And carefully planned the layout and installation.
After transformation:
- The lights were installed in the venue. The brightness increased to 850 lux. The lighting was more even at 0.75. The glare decreased to 30.
- The venue used less energy, saving $30,000 a year on lighting costs. The hourly energy usage decreased to 25 kw/h. Additionally, the extended durability of the lights significantly reduces replacement and upkeep expenses.
Players mentioned they could see the shuttlecock clearly during games. They experienced no eye strain or glare. This helped them play better.
The newly added dimming feature can enhance the lighting system at the Badminton Court. This improvement could benefit both players and spectators.
