The backboard perimeter lights are the red lights that are attached to the backboard and light up when the end of period is reached or the shot clock expires. When using with the Original WebRelay, you will also need the transformers. You will need one backboard light and one transformer per backboard. These backboard perimeter lights and transformers come in sets of two (one for each end of the court), so you will only need to buy one light pack and one transformer pack per court.
Technical: The lights get wired into the Original WebRelay so that the scoreboard can turn the lights on and off.
