How long does one charge last?
About 8–10 hours of continuous glow on a full charge, and a charge takes roughly 2 hours over USB-C. For most people that’s a couple weeks of evening runs between top-ups. The LEDs hold steady brightness right up until they fade — they don’t dim out slowly on you mid-game.
Will it light up the whole court or just the ball?
Just the ball — bright enough that you and everyone else can track it in full dark, but it won’t floodlight the driveway or bother the neighbours. It catches the rim and the net on every shot, which is the part people don’t expect until they see it.
Can it get wet?
It’s water-resistant — fine on a damp court, light drizzle, or a wet driveway, and easy to wipe down. The charge port has a sealed cover. Don’t submerge it or leave it sitting in a puddle, but a normal night of outdoor play is exactly what it’s built for.
Is it a real regulation ball or a gimmick?
Regulation size 7 (29.5″) and regulation weight, with a composite cover that grips like a standard outdoor ball. The LED core is sealed inside and balanced, so the bounce and the feel off your fingertips are true. You can run real games with it, not just mess around.
What’s the warranty?
One year against manufacturing and battery defects, plus 30-day no-questions returns if night hoops isn’t your thing.
