The first question when working on a project is often: How Many LED Lights Do I need for a Baseball Field? How bright does it need to be? How can I make this a successful lighting upgrade? A sports lighting layout for baseball and softball fields is the ideal first step to ensure your LED lighting gives the desired foot candle level and bright, balanced light.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Goes Into Successful Baseball Field Lighting Design?
Successful baseball field lighting design starts by understanding the needs and usage of the playing field, then determining proper lighting levels for both infield and outfield locations. The lighting layout considers existing pole locations and can suggest new locations for fields without poles. We pay careful attention to light level uniformity and balanced coverage throughout the calculations.
What Is The Ideal Pole Height To Use When Doing A Baseball Field Lighting Layout?
We always recommend high pole height over low pole height because higher poles create more balanced light across the entire field. We prefer to see poles 30 feet or higher when performing lighting plans on outdoor sports fields. Higher mounting heights reduce glare and provide better light distribution.
How Can I Measure My Existing Foot Candle Readings?
The best way is to use a professional light meter purchased online. Light meter apps are available, but less accurate than dedicated meters. Once you understand your existing light levels, we can develop a baseball field lighting layout that meets or exceeds your current performance.
How Does Lighting Design For Baseball Stadiums Differ From Baseball Fields?
The end goal remains the same regardless of venue size. LED lighting attaches to either light poles or stadium structures and aims at the field areas to achieve the required light levels. We consider the physical installation location and mounting heights in all designs. Little league fields typically cost less than professional stadiums because they require fewer fixtures.
How Many Lumens Do You Need To Light A Baseball Field?
Requirements depend on the level of play, with the infield always brighter than the outfield. The most popular ratio we design is 50 lumens per square foot infield and 30 lumens per square foot outfield. LED floodlight output dramatically impacts field foot candles, which is why professional lighting plans are essential.
What Are The Recommended Light Levels For A Baseball Field?
Baseball field lighting standards vary by competition level, with professional requiring much higher levels than recreational play. Here are the most common lighting levels for baseball fields:
- Recreational Play: 10-20 fc outfield, 20-30 fc infield
- Little League Lighting Standards: 20-30 fc outfield, 40-50 fc infield
- High School Play: 20-30 fc outfield, 40-50 fc infield
- Collegiate Play: 40-50 fc outfield, 60-70 fc infield
- Collegiate Play (Televised): 70 fc outfield, 100 fc infield
How Much Does A Professional Baseball Field Lighting Plan Cost?
Professional lighting plans typically range from $500 to $2,000, depending on field complexity and project scope. A detailed lighting plan prevents costly mistakes and ensures you purchase the correct number and type of fixtures. The plan cost represents less than 5% of most lighting projects but saves thousands in potential redesign costs. We offer baseball field lighting plans for FREE!
What Information Do You Need To Create A Baseball Lighting Design?
We need field dimensions and layout, existing or planned pole locations, and your target lighting levels. Photos of the field and any current lighting performance issues help us create accurate designs. CAD drawings or site plans speed up the design process significantly.
Can A Lighting Plan Help Me Choose Between LED Manufacturers?
Yes, professional lighting plans compare multiple LED fixture options and show exact performance differences. We model different manufacturers'' products to demonstrate which fixtures achieve your lighting goals most cost-effectively. This eliminates guesswork and ensures you select the optimal fixtures for your specific field.
How Long Does It Take To Complete A Baseball Field Lighting Design?
Most baseball field lighting designs are completed within 5-7 business days after receiving all project information. Complex projects with multiple fields or unique requirements may take up to 10 business days. We provide detaiLED photometric reports showing light levels, uniformity ratios, and fixture specifications.
