What Are LED Lighting Supply's Baseball Field Light Poles?

Our full line of LED ball field light poles are available in wood, steel, and fiberglass light pole options. They are engineered to support high-powered LED flood lights, mounting hardware, and their components without fail. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to achieving high-quality lighting levels with baseball field lighting systems. The number of fixtures a light pole can support will not always be the same.

Consideration of player-level requirements and light pole standards ensures adequate illumination on playing grounds. A properly designed baseball field lighting system paired with energy-efficient stadium light fixtures ensures optimal visibility for athletes and sideliners, especially for night games.

Can I Use the Field's Existing Poles to Support Our Sports Lighting Solution?

Depending on the placement and condition of the existing light poles, utilizing the current light pole layout limits production setbacks while providing uniform illumination. A pre-planned baseball field LED lighting fixture layout with existing poles presents significant cost-saving opportunities, alleviates duplicate construction efforts, and accelerates the lighting project completion date.

For a new construction baseball field project, our team can help engineer a forward-looking plan of where the lights and poles of the completed project need to be installed prior to the construction project commencement date. This approach uses temporary lighting during the building phase and allows the existing poles to adapt to the final sports field conception lighting solution.

Whether upgrading existing fixtures or starting a new construction field project, working with a Product Specialist to engineer an adaptive light fixture or light pole plan ahead of construction will save your project significant dollars.

How Many Baseball Field Lighting Poles Are Required for Baseball Field Lighting?

There are several factors to consider when determining how many light poles are required to provide uniform light coverage on your baseball field, including the field size, budget, light pole placement, and the playing level of the field. While there are baseball field lighting configuration standards, a pre-planned baseball field lighting layout is recommended to ensure the solution meets project requirements. Our Product Specialists can engineer a baseball field lighting and light pole plan ahead of purchase with product recommendations.

The size of the field is the primary consideration when determining how many poles you will need for sports lighting systems. You should plan on a 4, 6, or 8-pole layout. At least 2 poles are needed for infield lighting and then an additional 2 to 6 for infield and outfield lighting for a baseball field lighting system. Any ballpark that needs to meet the lighting standards for TV broadcasts will require an 8-pole layout.

What is the Ideal Baseball Field Light Pole Height?

There are several light pole height factors to consider when designing your ball field lighting system. Here's a breakdown of standard light pole configurations based on player levels.

Recreational, Little League, and Youth Ball Fields:

Small fields generally require a minimum of four light poles, with one pole installed in each corner of the outfield. League field lights with only four light poles installed provide adequate lighting yet run the risk of potentially hard-to-reach areas. At the recreational or little league level, pole heights from 30 to 50 feet best suit the project.

High School and College Baseball Fields

Educational institution facilities, such as high school fields and college fields, require a minimum of six light poles with two positioned by the home plate and four positioned in the outfield. This reduces dark spots on playing grounds and provides uniform light coverage. The ideal height for college field light poles ranges from 50 feet to 80 feet.

Professional, Minor, and Major League Baseball Stadiums

Eight or more poles are typically required for professional-level baseball fields or high-performance fields. These baseball fields are comparable in size to stadiums. Many times, baseball field lighting systems include on-roof lighting fixtures to provide enhanced security and visibility around the field. The widest range for stadium-size ball fields has been found within the MLB and ranges from 80 feet to 190 feet.

What is the Average Price for Baseball Field Poles?

Pole costs will vary depending on the required pole height to support sports lighting fixtures. Required pole heights vary based on the level of play. The number of fixtures per pole affects pole diameter and the number of cross bars required, whether you opt to use wood, steel, or composite poles.

What is the Proper Spacing for Baseball Field Poles?

As you can see from the diagram above:

• There are two poles located behind the diamond for infield lighting. This is the case for all layouts.
• Two to four poles are located outside the outfield fence in a 6- and 8-pole layout, respectively.

The most efficient way to determine the number of poles required to support your sports lighting plan is to depend on the distance between the home plate and the center field fence. Here is a handy reference:

• Home Plate to Center Field Fence: 200-250 feet
• Home Plate to Center Field Fence: 300 feet
• Home Plate to Center Field Fence: 400 feet
