Baseball sport is more and more popular with the public, and more and more baseball games are held at night, so people need a good baseball lighting environment.

Hereby we will introduce how to light up a baseball field with high-quality lighting, how to choose excellent lighting products and how much cost of lighting up a baseball field.

1. Lighting standards and requirements for baseball fields

As we all know, the unit of light is lumens(lm), and the higher the lumens the brighter the lamp. But when we talk about lighting requirements, we generally refer to illuminance, that is, the brightness level of a certain area from the light source, that is, the number of lumens per square meter, and the unit is lux.

In addition, a baseball field is divided into an inner field and an outer field. Most of the fast sports of the athletes are in the inner field, so the lighting requirements of the inner field are usually higher than that of the outer field.

The most popular are minor league baseball, junior league, and high school lighting systems. Recommended Illumination for Baseball fields

2. Illumination design of baseball stadium

We provide free lighting design for all kinds of baseball stadiums, whether it is high school, collegiate, community, little league baseball stadium.

When we design the baseball stadium lighting, we must consider providing the best lighting for the athletes and spectators and minimizing the lighting glare. The lighting layout of the baseball stadium is divided into the inner field and the outer field, and the uniformity and illuminance must be designed to be just right. Through our lighting design, the lighthouse is not located in the position where the player’s line of sight often moves during the movement of pitching, hitting and receiving the ball.

3. What kind of lamps should be used on the baseball field?

With the rapid development of lighting technology, both indoor and outdoor halogen lamps have been completely replaced by LED lamps. Of course, all stadium lighting is also turned to LED lights, including baseball stadium lighting. High-power floodlights play a very important role in sports lighting. It’s well known that metal halide brightness drops significantly over a short period of time. However LED floodlights are low maintenance.

4. The quantity, position, and height of poles on the baseball field

The required quantity of light poles around the baseball field depends on the size of the baseball field and the lighting requirements of different levels of competition. For example, the small league baseball field has a small size and low lighting requirements, normally four light poles are enough. High school, college, and the little league can regularly do with six light poles; the major leagues and their farm teams need eight poles or even more.

5. How much does it cost to light up a baseball field with LEDs?

The cost of the baseball stadium lighting system depends on the lighting level, product quality, and field size, and also depends on the choice of LED floodlights, which leads to differences in lighting costs. We are very professional in baseball field lighting systems, so we can provide the best lighting solution in a cost-effective way. Once we know your requirements, we can calculate the right led light quantity and beam angle needed, and come up with a quotation for you.

Other FAQ

I have a new baseball field that needs to be lit up. How can I get good baseball field lighting at night?

First, we have to learn detailed information about your baseball field and masts conditions. Second, we will make a lighting plan based on your needs and requirements. This plan is very important for you to know well the illumination level and uniformity. It’s a basic service to customers.

I have a baseball field installed with Metal Halide Lamp, I want to change them to LED Lights. Can LED floodlights replace Metal Halide Baseball Lighting directly?

Absolutely,  we can replace metal halide lights 1 for 1. Our LED Floodlights are high efficiency and much more energy-saving, which can help you to save a lot of electric billing. Our 300W LED floodlight can replace 1000 Watt metal halide lamp, 600W can replace 1500W metal halide lamp for your baseball stadium. And your existing lighting infrastructure should be good enough for LED lights since it uses a lot less electricity than metal halide does.

Which fixture is most cost-effective for my stadium?

Lighting is an art in itself, and stadium lights are no different. Sports events are usually very personal matters. When friends and family, classmates, and colleagues cheer for their favorites, they establish a connection. Seeing everything clearly and clearly is an important part of the game.

The first question to ask yourself is “existing lighting equipment and refurbished equipment, or newly installed equipment; can the existing lighting create your ultimate stadium experience?”

For the existing lights, if necessary, we try to match the old sports lights to equal or brighter lights. The 1500 watt metal halide sports light is the most common light fixture installed in the past 40 years. To this end, a 500-watt LED stadium light was designed from the ground up to replace the beam angle and all beams. It saves 1,000 watts and lights up a brighter touch screen. It’s easy. We also communicate with other people. If you are sure that you need more light instead of maintaining the same amount of light, we can also help.

New Installation?

The height of stadium lighting varies by application, which is why they have different beam angles. Depending on the application needs, a light placed at a height of 30 to 40 feet may use a 30-degree beam angle. Choosing the right light and beam angle will depend on the size of the area covered by the light, the lumen requirements of the ground and the height of the light. It is important to have a proper lighting plan, so planning your application with a lighting expert is essential to get good results. Photometric studies are usually used to ensure that the final results are indeed satisfactory. Lighting experts can usually design picture studies for free.
