Dartboard lights and LED ring lights
A ceiling light or a lamp in the corner throws the shadow of every dart across the board and makes the doubles hard to read. A dartboard light fixes that by lighting the board from close by and from several directions at once.

Ring light or overhead light?
- Ring lights fit around the board and shine inwards from 360 degrees. Light from all sides cancels out most shadows, which is why they have become the standard for home setups.
- Overhead or arm lights hang above the board. They light the face well but cast short shadows below each dart, and they need a fixing point above the board.
How much light do you need?
For tournament floor boards, the World Darts Federation rules ask for a light fitting of at least 1,600 lumens per board, screened so that no light shines into the player's eyes. At home, an even spread of light matters more than raw brightness, but the lumen figure is a useful way to compare lights.
Power and fitting
Ring lights run from mains adapters, USB or batteries. Mains or USB is better for regular play; battery lights save you running a cable but need charging. Most ring lights fix to the board bracket, so there is no extra hole in the wall. More on placement, colour temperature and glare is in Dartboard lighting.

Frequently asked questions
How bright should a dartboard light be?
World Darts Federation rules ask for at least 1,600 lumens per board in tournament play. At home, look for a light that lights the board evenly without dark patches, and compare the lumen figures when they are given.
Does a ring light fit inside a dartboard cabinet?
Often, but not always. A ring light adds to the width and depth around the board, so check the inner size of the cabinet and the diameter of the light before buying both.
Do ring lights work with camera scoring?
Camera scoring kits usually come with their own LED ring, because even light helps the cameras see each dart. If you plan to add cameras later, check whether the kit replaces your ring light or fits around it.
