What are LED Baseball Field Lights?

LED Lights for Baseball fields are powerful and bright and provide a high-quality light source. These LED ball field lights range from 400 watts to 1200 watts. We typically light baseball fields with a 400-watt or 600-watt LED sports light.

High-power LED baseball stadium lights can easily replace metal halide lights on baseball fields. They produce high lumen – high-quality lighting. They turn on instantly and are virtually maintenance-free.

Voltage options range from 100 - 277 Volts or 277 - 480 Volts. The best color temperature for baseball fields is 5000K. 4000K would be a second choice if you’re looking for a warmer light.

No one optic meets all needs when choosing the best optics for lighting. It depends on your pole heights and lighting requirements. A lighting plan will sort that all out for you. A lighting plan will detail the fixture, wattage, lumens, optics, number of fixtures, and where to point them.

What Are the Benefits of Using LED Sports Lights for Baseball Fields?

• Energy Savings: you can expect energy savings of at least 50%.
• Powerful lighting: replace metal halide sports lights with LED lights one for one.

LED Baseball Field Lights FAQ

What Do LED Baseball Field Lights Cost?

Baseball field lighting costs can vary based on the light levels you are trying to achieve. We do 2-5 lighting plans a week for high school, college, and community baseball fields and the costs are usually within the range of $25,000 to $100,000 for the lights.

Adding light poles for baseball fields would be an additional overcost of lights.

One common layout uses 8 poles, 4 in the infield area and 4 in the outfield. One common request is 50-foot candles in the infield and 30-foot candles in the outfield. We can do this using 48 400-watt LED fixtures. From there, the math is pretty similar. If half the foot candles are acceptable, then you can use the same layout using the same 200-watt LED fixture. You can find both fixtures in the list above.

Other layouts we’ve developed lighting plans for are 6 poles and 4 poles for smaller recreational fields.

What do Little League Field LED Lights Cost?

Once we know your requirements, we can come up with a quote. The actual cost per fixture depends on the fixture we use to meet your lighting requirements. There are several baseball field lighting companies on the market with very high-end and expensive fixtures. Little league fields do not need this level of sophistication to make the players and parents happy.

How Many LED Light Fixtures are Needed for Baseball Field Lighting?

There is no one-size-fits-all solution. We provide free lighting plans to give you this answer. Our lighting plans can give you a roadmap on how many and what type of lighting will meet your needs.

How Many LED Lumens Are Needed to Light a Baseball Field?

Per fixture, each light should be at least 56,000 lumens or greater. This amount of lumens is enough to replace a 1000 Watt Metal Halide Light. Lumens can go up or down (per fixture) based on the lighting needs of the specific baseball field.

What's the Best Height to Mount Baseball Field Lights?

There is no minimum height. Based on our experience, we’ve found that higher pole height is better than lower pole height. It’s easier to achieve balanced lighting with higher mounting locations. Many of the fields we create lighting plans for range from 30 to 60 feet.

How Many Light Poles Are Needed to Light a Baseball Field?

For recreational, high school, little league field lights, and other related fields, we have found 4 infield poles and 4 outfield poles are enough. But we have also done fields with 6 poles.

What's the Best Way to Aim New LED Lighting When Installing Lights on a Baseball Field?

A lighting plan shows you where each light’s aiming point is located on the field. Mark all those locations on the field with a flag. We can provide a laser pointer that will allow you to aim each fixture at the flag on the field. LEDs are very tolerant. The direction does not need to be exact.
