What are LED Lighting Supply Sports Field Lights?

Our LED Lights for Sports fields are powerful and bright and provide a high-quality light source. These LED sports field lights range from 400 watts to 1200 watts. We typically light sports fields with a 400-watt or 600-watt LED sports light. It is very common to use sports field LED lighting to light up a sports venue field like baseball, softball, football, and soccer.

High-power LED sports lighting fixtures can easily replace metal halide lights in indoor and outdoor facilities. 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 sports 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 indoor or outdoor sports 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.

How to Select the Proper LED Sports Field Lighting Solution

There are various safety and performance components to consider when selecting the proper LED lighting solution for your sports field. Our selection of LED sports field lights and light poles are constructed to provide ample light coverage efficiently while ensuring player safety on the field. Dive into the top 4 considerations when selecting a lighting solution for your playing field.

1. Lighting Level Requirements: Determine the illumination requirements of your sports field project to provide uniform light coverage for athletes based on their level of play. Our Product Specialists understand project requirements and can engineer a free custom lighting plan ahead of purchase to recommend the proper light fixture and light pole solution.
2. Existing Pole Considerations: Identify the existing pole locations in your sports field. LED Lighting Supply’s Product Specialists can help determine if your project requires pole replacements or additional poles to support light coverage requirements. Get a free pole quote here.
3. Fixture Mounting Height: Determine light fixture mounting height requirements to improve the visibility of players and sideliners. If there are no pre-existing light poles in your sports field, our Product Specialists will recommend the appropriate mounting height alongside a proper light pole solution to meet the needs of your playing field.
4. Existing Lighting Layout: If an existing lighting layout exists in your sports field, consider the current light fixture positioning, how the fixtures are mounted to the light pole, the number of fixtures installed on each light pole, and the maximum fixture weight each pole can support. Our Product Specialists will engineer an adaptive plan to utilize the existing light pole and light fixture positioning. This approach provides installation ease and contributes to overall project cost savings.

LED Lighting Supply’s full-line sports field lights and light poles allow sports facility managers to balance safety, performance, and efficiency while reducing operational costs so athletes can focus on reaching their next goal.

LED Sports Field Lighting FAQs

What are the Ideal LED Lumens to Light up a Sports Field?

Our largest LED sports ground lighting produces 180,000 lumens. This is more than enough to easily replace a 2000 Watt Metal Halide light. A Free sports field lighting plan will determine the right fixture and lumens required to meet your needs.

We offer LED field lighting that replaces 1000 Watt, 1500 Watt, and 2000 Watt Metal Halides.

What is the Best Height to Install Sports Lighting?

We have found poles used for schools, recreational, and community sports fields range from 30 to 60 feet in height. For college and pro sports facilities, pole height can be as high as 100 feet.

Based on our experience as a sports field lighting manufacturer, we've learned that it is easier to light sports fields with a taller pole than a shorter pole using sports lighting.

What are the Most Common Outdoor LED Sports Light Retrofits Used?

You'll find LED sports field lighting used in many sports and athletic facility locations. These include tennis courts, baseball and softball fields, or soccer and football athletic fields. LED athletic lighting is a type of powerful flood sports lighting that includes wide and narrow-range optic packages. They are high-wattage and high-lumen light fixtures that come with a set of low-beam optics.

High-power sporting lights mount high and far from the playing field. They use focused beam optics to ensure the light it produce lights up a specific location on the surface.

What is the Cost of Converting Athletic Field Lighting to LED?

Since the LED Lights we provide can replace metal halide, determining a fixture count is relatively easy. Then it's just a function of creating a free lighting plan (we will provide you with that) and providing a quote for the lights.

What's the Best Way to Reduce Glare with LED Sports Field Lighting?

There are several options, but the two best options are mounting height and side shields. Lights mounted on higher poles are less like to be noticed than lights mounted at shorter heights.

Side shields (including a top shield for dark sky compliance) eliminate some of the glare issues produced by these powerful lights.

What are the Best Recommendations for Purchasing Outdoor Sports Field Lighting?

We have many athletic field lighting options. First, tell us your needs and requirements for lighting up your sports facility. We can create a (free) sports field LED lighting plan for you, and from there we can supply some outdoor sports field lighting options. This will ensure that the lighting performance is top-notch with the correct light output needed for the particular sport being played.

Will LED Lights Lower Your Lighting Bill versus Metal Halide?

You should be able to save at least 50% and up to 75% on your utility lighting bill when you convert from Metal Halide to LED. You can calculate your savings here on our energy savings calculator page.

What LED Light Voltage Options Are Available for Sports Field Lighting?

We do offer both standard 100-277V and 277-480V driver options for our LED sports lighting. Let us know if you need high-voltage fixtures.

How Many LED Lights are Needed to Light up a Sports Field?

The guideline has more to do with foot candles on the playing surface than the number of lights you might think you need. A sports field lighting design/lighting plan will show you how to achieve those light levels. It will determine the number of fixtures you’ll need to achieve the required foot candle levels you’re targeting. You will know that you are working with the right sports field lighting company when they assist with lighting design and take a personal interest in the success of your project.

Is It Easy to Install LED Sports Light Retrofits?

It all depends on where they're installed and how easy it is to access the lights. High pole mounts are harder to install on a catwalk near the top of outdoor sporting facilities. Make sure you are working with a professional licensed electrician.
