Basketball Court lighting control systems struggle to meet the modern demands of indoor basketball courts due to their complexity and cumbersome operation. This not only leads to significant energy waste and equipment damage but also imposes a heavy financial burden on property management. As requirements evolve and technology advances, intelligent lighting systems are increasingly replacing traditional controls, thanks to their flexibility and diverse capabilities. This shift has become a prevailing trend.
In basketball courts, intelligent lighting control is implemented using LED fixtures for game lighting. The primary advantages are energy efficiency and enhanced controllability, which includes features like scheduling, dimming, flashing, individual circuit control, RGBW color changes, and synchronization with audio.
The following are some functionalities that can be achieved through this control system:
1. Basketball Court Lighting Timing Control
The basketball court's lighting system utilizes a 7-inch true color touch screen for management, allowing for the setup of various lighting scenes for different time periods. A clock (event) timer can be programmed with local astronomical data, holiday schedules, and sunrise/sunset times, enabling the system to adjust lighting schemes according to seasonal weather changes for energy conservation.
2. On-Site Touch Screen Graphic Control
The control system can display a floor plan of the basketball court on the touch screen, allowing for easy management of its complex and expansive layout by dividing it into different zones. Staff can quickly and intuitively operate the system by touching the floor plan to activate specific circuits in designated areas or check the status of each circuit. Additionally, the system simplifies operations by allowing pre-designed lighting schemes. For instance, after an electrical engineer determines the optimal lighting configurations for various scenarios such as competitions, practices, and cleaning, the complex calculations can be modeled, significantly reducing the workload for staff.
3. Integration with Other Systems
The Basketball Court system can be connected to various other systems, including air conditioning, security, fire protection, audio, video, and building management, through software and hardware interfaces. For instance, when linked to the fire protection system and a fire alarm is triggered, it will automatically activate the pre-configured fire protection mode, turn on emergency lighting immediately, and disconnect non-fire-related power supplies to safeguard lives and property. Additionally, it can interface with the audio system to synchronize LED lights with music through intelligent control.
LED lights can be dimmed using DALI or 0-10 V methods, allowing for different lighting modes in various scenes. This ensures consistent lighting throughout the venue while maximizing the effectiveness of events, teaching, and entertainment.
4. DALI Intelligent Dimming Control
Basketball courts vary in size and function, leading to different lighting requirements. To enhance energy efficiency in basketball court lighting, high-power LED lights are utilized alongside a comprehensive DALI digital dimming system. This system employs intelligent dimming control, which involves installing DALI dimming ballasts at suitable locations for high-power LED lights and incorporating DALI gateway devices into the lighting setup. This enables remote dimming, scene switching, light status monitoring, fault diagnosis, and other functionalities to maintain high-quality lighting in the basketball court.
During the intelligent dimming process, designers can adjust the operation modes and parameters of high-power LED lights based on specific conditions. The DALI digital dimming system allows for lighting control according to predefined methods, which can reduce the operational time of the basketball court's lighting and lower energy consumption. For example, using localized lighting control, specific areas can be illuminated by activating one or more high-power LED lights without needing to turn on the entire lighting system.
In comparison to metal halide and energy-saving lights, high-power LED lights can be connected in groups of 3 to 4 on the same circuit, eliminating the need for individual circuits for each light at the distribution box. This simplifies the stadium's lighting system and enhances its functionality without requiring extensive modifications to the distribution box or the installation of numerous outgoing line switches.
