LED Lights for Wiffle Ball Fields

What are LED Wiffle Ball Field Lights?

LED wiffle ball field lights deliver professional-grade illumination designed specifically for outdoor sports applications. Power ranges typically span from 400 watts to 1200 watts, with most installations using either 400-watt or 600-watt fixtures depending on field size and competition level. These systems utilize the same proven technology found in professional baseball and softball facilities.

High-power LED stadium lighting easily outperforms traditional metal halide systems while providing instant-on capability and virtually maintenance-free operation. Our fixtures accept standard building voltages including 100-277V or 277-480V input with drivers that automatically adjust to your electrical system. For optimal visibility and player performance, we recommend 5000K color temperature which produces crisp white light ideal for ball tracking. When clients prefer slightly warmer illumination, 4000K serves as an excellent alternative.

Optical distribution varies significantly based on pole height and field layout requirements. Rather than guessing, a professional lighting plan determines the precise fixture specifications, beam angles, and aiming points needed for your specific installation. Our lighting design service calculates exact foot-candle levels and ensures uniform light distribution across the entire playing surface.
