LED Lights for Baseball Fields

Professional LED Baseball Field Lighting Solutions

LED Lighting Supply's baseball field lighting fixtures deliver high-quality illumination for professional sports applications. With over 15+ years of experience and hundreds of successful baseball field installations nationwide, we've engineered LED lighting systems that provide superior light quality and energy efficiency compared to traditional lighting.

Most facilities use 400-watt and 600-watt fixtures, though our range extends from 400 watts to 1200 watts depending on field size and competition requirements. Advanced LED stadium lights offer instant operation and virtually maintenance-free performance. Available in 100-277V or 277-480V options, these fixtures produce high-lumen output with excellent light quality for players and spectators.

Proven Energy Savings with Measurable Results

Energy cost reduction drives most facility decisions to upgrade baseball field lighting. Real installation data from our customers shows consistent 60% energy savings across all project types (model dependent):

*Calculations based on 730 annual operating hours at $0.12/kWh

These energy savings align with data from the U.S. Department of Energy's SSL program, which documents how LED technology can achieve 50-70% energy savings compared to conventional metal halide systems in sports lighting applications.

Eliminate Recurring Maintenance Expenses

Metal halide systems require bulb replacement every 6,000-10,000 hours and ballast replacement every 3-5 years. Professional installation costs of $150-250 per fixture change and bulb costs of $75-150 each create annual maintenance expenses of $300-500 per fixture.

Our engineered solutions substantially reduce these recurring costs when properly specified. LED systems provide additional savings of $300-500 per fixture annually over the system lifetime, creating long-term value beyond initial energy reductions.

These certifications provide confidence in safety, quality, and regulatory compliance for every installation, and may qualify projects for utility rebate programs.

Safety certifications are critical for outdoor sports lighting installations. The Design Lights Consortium (DLC) maintains rigorous standards for outdoor lighting efficiency and performance, while UL 1598 standards from Underwriters Laboratories ensure electrical safety and reliability for all luminaire installations.

Comprehensive 5-Year Manufacturer Warranty

LED Lighting Supply backs every baseball field lighting system with a 5-year manufacturer warranty covering all components. As the manufacturer, we process all warranty claims through our support team, ensuring quick response and resolution when you need assistance.

Professional Lighting Standards for Every Competition Level

Baseball field lighting standards vary by competition level, from recreational play to collegiate games. Our Product Specialists understand the standards established by IES and IALD to ensure appropriate visibility, safety, and compliance for each level of play.

Experience with facilities nationwide has shown the importance of meeting specific foot candle requirements, with infield lighting levels consistently higher than outfield lighting across all competition categories.

We engineer solutions that achieve proper horizontal brightness while balancing both vertical and horizontal brightness. This is crucial for optimal visibility, especially for televised games where broadcast quality requires uniform illumination across the playing surface.

Professional sports lighting design follows established industry standards for player safety and performance. The Illuminating Engineering Society's standards and recommended practices provide guidance on illumination levels, uniformity ratios, and glare control for baseball field installations, ensuring proper visibility and safety across all competition levels.

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

• Using incorrect fixture weights on existing poles without checking load calculations. Have a structural engineer verify pole capacity before ordering LED fixtures that might overload the structure.
• Installing fixtures with the wrong beam angles for the pole height. See the Professional Lighting Standards section for competition-level foot candle requirements and verify with photometric software.
• Running undersized wire on long circuit feeds to outfield poles. Calculate voltage drop properly and use conductors sized for the actual distance and load requirements.
• Skipping surge protection on installations near water or in lightning-prone areas. LED drivers can fail without proper surge suppressors on the electrical feeds.
• Mounting fixtures without considering neighboring property complaints about light spill. Use proper shields and cutoff optics to keep light on the field.
• Specifying 4000K color temperature for facilities that host televised games. See the Quick Selection Guide for color temperature guidance based on your application.
