Baseball Field Lighting

Baseball Field Lighting

• Baseball field lighting requires a number of
  things to be taken into consideration to ensure
  that the field is evenly lit for maximum
  visibility in both the infield and the
  outfield. Preconfigured baseball field lights
  often fail to do this because they offer
  inappropriate wattage to light smaller baseball
  fields, or because they are designed only for
  fields in a specific type of league. Poorly
  designed retail-grade fixtures run the risk of
  weathering rapidly, first rusting and presenting
  an unsightly nuisance, then later deteriorating
  to the level that internal components and wires
  become exposed and short circuit with exposure to
  humidity.

• Baseball field lights that come pre-fitted to a
  mounting arm may look like a good all in one
  deal, but they often become more of a nuisance
  with procurement passes them to the installers,
  who then discover after the fact that the
  mounting arms dont quite fit the poles the right
  way, and the lights themselves are therefore
  useless. Finally, many facility managers, owners,
  and municipalities frequently overspend by buying
  too many baseball field lights, unaware that
  certain commercial grade fixtures can be fitted
  with reflectors that magnify and further cast a
  brighter, more intense field of light.

• Baseball field lighting from RLLD is so much
  simpler than all of this. Because we know that
  baseball fields vary greatly in size per
  location, ownership, and league status, we sell
  fixtures and mounting brackets separately. This
  allows procurement personnel to first study the
  lighting poles and any currently installed
  fixtures to see which of our mounting brackets
  will best fit their existing configuration. Second
  ly, we provide the lights separately in varying
  degrees of wattage and corresponding intensities.

• Our lighting fixtures can also multifunction as
  arena lights in other sports and public events,
  which is an added benefit of equipment obtained
  through RLLDs adaptive, highly specialized
  inventory. These fixtures are extremely tough and
  can take a beating from the elements without
  rusting out or short-circuiting. Each fixture
  consists of a powder coated die cast housing with
  a formed aluminum lid that can endure greater
  stress from the elements than fixtures made from
  inferior metals.

• RLLD baseball field light fixtures also better
  protect lamp life with tempered flat glass
  insulated by a gasket sealed with an aluminum
  clamp band. Further options become available by
  adding anodized aluminum reflectors. Not only do
  these reflectors magnify lumens and photometric
  distribution, they also allow for field managers
  to precisely adjust the field of illumination by
  selecting any specific reflector model from Type
  3, 4, 5, or 6 optics that best meets the needs of
  visibility and safe play. In order to ensure that
  these lights last not only for the duration of
  the season, but for many years to come, RLLD
  equips them with the very best multi-tap ballasts
  in four optional voltage levels. Superior ballast
  technology means greater energy efficiency,
  reliable lighting, and longer lamp life.

• This ability to match feature to need to create
  personal benefit unique to a given situation is
  what RLLD famous as a lighting design, one shop
  supply house vendor. Small towns throughout
  America prefer to buy from us because their
  little league fields in many cases are much
  smaller than the larger diamonds used by
  adults. In many cases only a few 400-watt
  baseball field lighting fixtures is all they need
  to light the home plate, along with one or two
  lights equipped with 1000 watt lamps and
  appropriate reflectors on either side of the
  baselines.

• Larger facilities save money with RLLD baseball
  field lights because of their superior electron
  flow control through the worlds best ballast
  technology. As in the case with smaller fields,
  there is both a power saving advantage to this
  and a replacement cost minimizing factor that
  results as well. The combination of the right
  fixtures, wattages, optics level reflectors, and
  mounts can custom-light any baseball field in the
  world.

• While RLLD makes it possible for any school,
  small town, municipal government, or minor or
  major league ball club to completely customize
  its own baseball, football, volleyball, soccer or
  Lacrosse field lighting array, we emphasize as
  well to all of our clients that we do not expect
  anyone to develop their own lighting design who
  lacks time and expertise to explore the
  subject. We therefore have a team of Experts who
  will answer any question in our online forum, and
  we will help any serious inquiries over the
