What are LED Lighting Supply Baseball Field Lights?

LED Lights for Baseball fields are powerful and bright lighting fixtures that provide high-quality illumination. Based on our years of experience with 100's of sports field / baseball field installations. Upgrading to a professional outdoor LED lighting system delivers superior light quality and energy efficiency compared to traditional metal halide lights.

These LED ball field lights range from 400 watts to 1200 watts. We typically light baseball fields with 400-watt or 600-watt LED sports lights. Through years of successful installations nation-wide, our high-power baseball LED stadium lights can easily replace metal halide lights on baseball fields.

LED stadium lighting is preferred over metal halides for energy efficiency and instant operation. They produce high-lumen, high-quality lighting.

LED baseball field lights turn on instantly and are virtually maintenance-free. Voltage options range from 100 - 277 Volts or 277 - 480 Volts.

The best color temperature to replace metal halide 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. Our lighting plans will sort that all out for you. Selecting the right beam angle and optimizing light distribution helps minimize light pollution and ensures focused illumination on the field.

A lighting plan will detail the fixture, wattage, lumens, beam angles, number of fixtures, and where to point them.

LED Baseball Field Lights FAQ

What Do LED Baseball Field Lights Cost?

Baseball field lighting typically ranges from $25,000 to $100,000 depending on your required foot-candle levels. A standard layout uses 8 poles with 48 400-watt LED fixtures to achieve 50 foot-candles infield and 30 foot-candles outfield. For recreational fields requiring half the illumination, we use the same pole configuration with 200-watt LED fixtures for significant cost savings. Light poles are additional to fixture costs, and we regularly design 6-pole and 4-pole layouts for smaller community fields.

What do Little League Field LED Lights Cost?

Little League fields require lower lighting levels than high school or college facilities, reducing overall project costs. We avoid over-specifying expensive fixtures since recreational play doesn't demand the same illumination standards as competitive levels. Fixture costs depend on your specific foot-candle requirements and field dimensions. We provide detailed quotes once we understand your lighting needs and field layout.

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

The number of fixtures depends entirely on your field size and required illumination levels. Our lighting designers use photometric analysis software to determine optimal fixture count and placement for uniform light distribution. We provide free lighting plans that specify exact fixture quantities and aiming points. Typical installations range from 24 fixtures on smaller recreational fields to 60+ fixtures for regulation competition fields.

How Many Lumens Are Needed to Light a Baseball Field?

Each fixture should produce at least 56,000 lumens to effectively replace 1000-watt metal halide systems. High-performance LED fixtures can deliver 80,000 to 120,000 lumens with superior light distribution and color rendering. Lumen requirements vary based on mounting height, Type 3 or Type 5 optics, and your target foot-candle levels across the playing surface.

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

Higher mounting heights provide better light uniformity and reduce glare for players. We typically design systems with 30 to 60-foot pole heights based on field size and surrounding obstacles. Taller poles allow for wider beam angles and fewer hot spots, though they require stronger wind-rated fixtures and more robust pole foundations.

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

Standard baseball fields use 8 poles total—4 positioned around the infield and 4 in the outfield areas. We've successfully designed 6-pole systems for smaller fields and budget-conscious projects. Four-pole layouts work for recreational fields under 200 feet, though light uniformity may be compromised compared to 6 or 8-pole configurations.

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

Use the aiming points marked on your photometric lighting plan to place survey flags at each target location on the field. Our laser aiming tools allow precise fixture alignment from pole height to ground markers. LED optics are forgiving—aiming within 5-10 degrees of the target typically maintains proper light distribution and eliminates problematic glare zones.
