What Goes into Successful Batting Cage Lighting Design?
Successful batting cage lighting starts by understanding the needs and usage of the facility. Step two is a process to determine the proper lighting levels for the batting cages and viewing areas.
The lighting layout takes into consideration the existing light locations. It can also suggest locations for batting cages without existing lighting. As we perform the calculations, it’s important to pay attention to the light levels and balance to ensure that any indoor batting cage lighting requirements are met.

Are There Any Special Considerations for Indoor or Outdoor Batting Cages?
It’s crucial to make sure the light is balanced across the space, whether it’s an indoor batting cage or an outdoor batting cage. It is easier to achieve balance in indoor spaces since LED fixtures can be mounted from above. It’s not just about brightness or energy efficient, bright lights. It’s also about light balance across the entire space, light distribution and providing the perfect lighting solution.
How Can You Design the Space so the Batters Can Avoid Glare?
Installing the lights from above or behind the batter helps a lot. You want to avoid installing lights in the center far outfield, angled directly to where the batter is hitting balls from.
What is an Batting Cages Lighting Design Calculator?
A catting cage lighting calculator is a simple tool that will give you an estimate of the number of lights you might need to meet the requirements. But it’s only a starting point. More importantly, where the lights should be installed, and whether the lights need a specific optic or beam angle can only be discovered with a lighting plan.
We’ve heard a few horror stories where customers only use calculators and then find out the lighting is horrible. The type of light you choose is even more important than the number of fixtures you use.
Will the Fixture You Use in a Batting Cage Withstand Impact?
Some of our fixtures have high impact ratings, so that will certainly help. Its also better for the batter and fixtures if you can mount the lights behind the batter.
What is the Difference Between a Lighting Design Calculator and a Lighting Plan?
Use a calculator if:
- You are looking for a free, online tool to quickly calculate the number of fixtures you need
- You want quick, simple, and immediate results
- You are looking for a count of light fixtures needed based on a specific budget
- You need a rough estimate on quantity and layout/configuration does not matter
- There is no need to include specific light balance and shadows in your documentation
Use a lighting plan layout if:
- You would like a professional lighting plan engineer to review your requirements
- You need a calculated lighting plan that shows foot candle readings
- You need to see how balanced the light levels are, and you care about reducing shadows
- You want to show aiming angles, and light positions in scale within your indoor or outdoor area
- You need professional assurance that the lights you buy will be the right choice
