Signify’s Lighting Solution, ArenaVision Gen 3.5 Approved by International Basketball Federation

Signify today announced it has entered FIBA Equipment & Venue Centre Approval Programme, one of the most recognized product quality programmes in the industry.

Signify’s professional sports lighting solution, Philips ArenaVision Gen3.5, is approved by   FIBA’s Equipment & Venue Centre, which supports venue owners to deliver high‑quality, broadcast‑ready basketball environments that meet FIBA’s technical standards.

Signify’s ArenaVision LED professional sports lighting systems and intelligent lighting controls are designed for elite indoor and outdoor sports environments, these solutions deliver exceptional light quality, uniformity and visual comfort, while meeting international broadcast standards. Integrated controls enable remote management, scheduling and operational efficiencies, helping venues host elite competition, enhance the live fan experience, and operate more sustainably. 

Basketball demands absolute precision from lighting. Visual comfort, uniformity and glare control are critical for both player performance and officiating, while ultra-high-definition broadcasting requires consistent light quality to capture the speed and intensity of the game. For spectators, lighting plays an increasingly important role in shaping the live arena experience.
Joining FIBA Equipment & Venue Centre Approval Programme allows us to be part of their mission in raising the bar for basketball lighting globally, delivering consistent, world‑class performance under the fastest and most intense conditions. Aligned with FIBA’s forward‑thinking approach, we’re combining light quality, energy efficiency and intelligent controls to help venues meet elite performance demands while supporting sustainability, innovation and global broadcast ambitions.
