Softball Field Lights

Best Types of LED Softball Field Lights

Every softball field has different sizes, pole locations, and lighting requirements. There is no one best type of light suitable for all softball fields. We have an entire process that helps us find the best lighting options for any softball field. And it starts by creating a lighting plan. A lighting plan is a software-generated lighting report of your specific field. It includes our LED Softball Field lights designed into the plan so we can see how well-lit the field is. It easily allows us to adjust lighting and swap lights to get the best results for your softball lighting project.

LED Lights Better than Metal Halide for Softball Fields

Yes, in almost all cases, LED softball field lights are always better than metal halide lights. They use a lot less power. And they have been virtually maintenance-free for many years. They are instant on/instant off. There is no need to turn on LED lights 30 minutes before you need them.

Most of our LED Lights come with different optic–beam angle packages so we can tailor the light delivery to your sports field.

How Does LED Lighting Supply’s LED Softball Field Lighting Compare to Musco Lighting Systems?

Musco offers a very high-feature and performance lighting system that you typically see in professional stadiums that can include specialized RGB lighting and sophisticated controls for the fixtures. The cost level is reflective of this advanced functionality. In comparison, LED Lighting Supply primarily focuses on school and recreational softball fields and stadium lighting. We offer both cost-competitive and performance options for softball field stadium lights that meet the needs of most schools and recreational applications.

Standard Requirements for Lighting a Softball Field

There are when you get into professional, college, and televised field locations. But for most softball fields, providing bright infields and outfields with balanced lighting is the best solution.

Choose to Retrofit Existing Sports Fixtures or to Use New LED Lighting

Retrofitting makes sense in applications where there is a need to keep the existing fixture. For softball fields, it’s hard to think of a reason why keeping the existing fixtures is necessary. We recommend new fixtures to replace the existing metal halide for a softball playing field and softball diamond.

Cost of LED Lighting for a Softball Field

It depends on the lighting levels you need. The brighter you want it, the more lights or more powerful lights you will need. We can run several lighting plan options. And provide you with different options and costs and provide you with an initial project cost estimate. Lighting plans allow us to find the perfect combination of light output and balanced lighting across the playing field. Light output from each fixture is calculated within the plan to determine how well your field will be lit up with our softball field lighting systems.

LED Softball Field Lights May be Rebate-Eligible

They may be. Many of our lights are rebate-eligible. Your local utility is in charge of whether they will give you a rebate or not. You should check with them first.

Best Color Temperature for Softball Field Lights

We recommend 5000K as the best color temperature for softball fields. It provides nice bright white light without being too harsh or blue for players and spectators of a softball game.

Voltage Options for LED Softball Field Lights

Yes, we do. Our standard voltage options are 100-277V and 277-480V.

Installing New LED Softball Lights

Installing our LED lights in a softball sports field is not hard. Our lights tend to be lighter than the metal halide lights they replace. So they won’t add existing stress on your poles or cross arms. Plus, they use less power than metal halides. So there is less amp draw.

Best Height to Mount LED Softball Field Lights on Poles

Higher is better. Do you have a new field and are looking for pole height? Or pole location advice? We can provide that along with creating a lighting plan based on your specific needs.
