Badminton Court Lighting
Problems
Players lose sight of the shuttle in the lights : Old or poorly placed lights often create harsh glare and shadows. Since badminton involves looking upward constantly, this leads to discomfort and even lost points when players can’t track the shuttle.
Lighting isn’t consistent from one court to the next : In multi-court gyms, uneven lighting creates a poor playing experience. Some courts feel dim, others are too bright. This affects training quality and professionalism.
Lights flicker on camera or during fast play : Flickering—often invisible to the eye—can ruin video footage and cause eye strain during long matches.
Badminton Court Lighting Layout
Lamps are arranged on both sides of the venue. Non-competition venue lamps. The installation height is at least 8 meters. For formal competition venue lamps, the installation height is at least 12 meters.
Lamp poles are used on both sides of the outdoor venue to arrange lights sideways.
Lamp poles in venues with audience seats should be arranged behind the audience seats to avoid blocking the audience’s sight.

Indoor badminton court
Recommended to choose our Sky series:
Lighting in a badminton court is tricky — players are always looking up, the shuttle moves fast, and even small shadows can mess with visibility.That’s where our Sky series comes in.
This fixture delivers wide, even lighting coverage, making sure every corner of the court is well-lit — not just the center. It works great even in courts with lower ceiling heights, which are pretty common in indoor badminton facilities.
Most importantly, no glare. Sky uses anti-glare optics to keep the light comfortable, especially when athletes are looking upward to track the shuttle. It helps reduce eye strain during long games or training sessions.Perfect for training centers, competition venues, or multi-court facilities.
Recommended to choose our Hermes series:
In badminton courts, good lighting isn’t just about brightness — it’s about control.
Our Hermes fixture features a 90° adjustable beam angle, so you can direct light exactly where it’s needed — right on the court, not the walls or ceilings. That means no wasted light and no light spill into neighboring courts.
It’s ideal for venues with multiple courts side-by-side, where uncontrolled lighting can cause distractions.
Hermes also includes soft light diffusion, which helps reduce harsh reflections on polished floors and prevents glare during upward shots. That’s a big plus when athletes are moving fast and need clear visibility at every angle.
Recommended to choose our Apollo Ⅰ series:
Lighting a badminton court isn’t just about brightness — it’s about precision, comfort, and control. That’s where the Apollo I 100W really shines.
This fixture comes with an anti-glare grilles , which helps cut down harsh glare and keeps visibility crisp — even during fast-paced rallies and overhead smashes. Players won’t be squinting, and shadows are kept to a minimum.
What makes Apollo I stand out is its modular design. You can stack and combine units depending on the size and height of your venue. Whether it’s a compact training space or a multi-court sports hall, you can customize the setup to match.
Plus, it’s built from high-grade aluminum with excellent heat dissipation, so it runs cooler and lasts longer — even with hours of continuous use.
