Golf Course and Driving Range LED Lighting FAQs

What is the Best Color Temperature for Golf Driving Range Lighting?

We recommend either 4000K or 5000K. 5000K is the best choice if you are currently using metal halide lighting with LED lighting technology.

Can LED Golf Course and Golf Range Lighting Fixtures Replace Existing Lighting?

Yes, they can. We recommend using high-power flood lights. We have models that can replace, 1 for 1, your existing lighting. Our LED lights, using advanced lighting technology, can provide more light than your existing fixtures.

What is the Best Pole Height for Driving Ranges?

We have found that higher is better. It helps create a better light balance across the golf course or driving range. We would recommend a pole height no lower than 30 feet high.

How Many LED Golf Course Flood Lights and Driving Range Lighting Fixtures Do You Need?

This depends on how wide and long the range is. How bright and balanced do you want the light to be? We can create a free lighting plan for your driving range. It will provide you with a better and more specific answer.

Are LED Lights Designed to Withstand the Impact of a Golf Ball?

For the most part, lights are always pointing in the same direction as the ball flight. That means the lens area is protected from flying balls. Our high-power flood lights are high impact rated IK08, which is a very high impact rating.

How Many LED Lights Can You Mount on a Single Pole?

That depends on the pole itself and the EPA ratings for your area. We can provide the EPA ratings of our fixtures.

Do You Have Mounting Options for Harsh Weather?

All our mounts are very strong. We would think that trunnion mounts are the most hurricane-resistant. They’re bolted down to the supporting structure.

Should I Direct the LED Golf Course Lights and Driving Range Lighting to Light up Distance Markers or the Entire Range?

That is your call. It will be a better experience for your customers to be able to watch the ball flight.

Are Pole-Mounted Fixtures Perform Better than Ground Lighting?

There are two aspects of lighting up the range. The ground and the air to watch ball flight (we call this horizontal and vertical lighting). Placing lights on the ground would provide good lighting for watching ball flight. But it would not do a good job of lighting up the ground.

What are the Best Types of LED Lighting to Use on a Golf Course or Driving Range?

LED floodlights and sports lights are the best choices for lighting a golf course. They provide powerful long-distance beams of light.

The best way to find the proper fixture for your application is to create a lighting plan. A lighting design will show vertical illumination uniformity and horizontal illumination using golf range floodlights. This is particularly important when you’re trying to illuminate golf balls at night.

What is the Best Way to Light Up Driving Ranges?

We have provided lighting plans for 300-yard driving ranges. In retrospect, that is the length of 3 NFL fields. We have found that lights behind the golfers and another set of lights on poles at about 150 – 200 yards work best.

How Can You Avoid Dark Spots on a Golf Course?

Planning to light up high-banked sand traps and other problem areas can avoid these problems and many others. Let us know what sand traps are an issue. We can address these places within the lighting plan.

How Can You Restrict LED Golf Course Lighting from Bleeding onto Other Properties?

You can do this in two ways: shields, and light design. Placing the golf driving range lighting in the right locations and aiming them can minimize light pollution. Our golf course lighting designs can create the proper layout to resolve these problems.
