What are LED Lighting Supply Softball Field Lights?

Our LED Lights for Softball fields are powerful, and bright and provide a high-quality light source. These types of LED ball field lights range from 400 watts to 1200 watts. We typically light softball fields with either a 400-watt or 600-watt LED sports light.

High-power LED softball field lights can easily replace metal halide lights used on softball fields. 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 baseball fields is 5000K. 4000K would be a second choice if you’re looking for a warmer light.

In choosing the best optics for lighting, no one optic meets all needs. It depends on your pole heights and lighting requirements. A lighting plan will sort that all out for you. Our lighting plan will detail the fixture, wattage, lumens, optics, number of fixtures, and where to point them.

The best way to start is to have us create a lighting plan based on your needs and requirements. The plan will allow us to design and create a lighting solution to achieve the right amount of foot candles. The goal is to create sufficient lighting and uniform lighting on the playing surface.

How to Select the Proper LED Softball Lighting Solution

There are various safety and performance components to consider when selecting the proper LED lighting solution for your softball field. Our selection of LED softball lights and light poles are constructed to provide ample light coverage efficiently while ensuring player safety on the field.

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 softball 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 softball 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 softball 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 Softball Field Lights FAQs

What is the 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.

Are 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.

How Easy Is It to Install 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.

What is the Best Height to Mount LED Softball Field Lights on Poles?

Higher is better. Ideally, a 40-foot pole is a good mounting height. It is high enough so the light can be distributed evenly over the field and reduce the amount of glare players have to deal with. We would not recommend anything under 30 feet high.
