Requirement of Baseball Stadium Lighting

In accordance with the lighting manual for baseball diamond, there are number of standard and requirement we should follow.


1. Lux Level Required

For the standard Little League competitions, the illuminance should have at least 540 lux for infield, and 320 lux for outfield.


2. Lighting Uniformity Standard

What is uniformity? It indicates the ratio between minimum to maximum lux, or average to maximum lux inside the baseball field. The best lighting system should have as high uniformity as possible to avoid undesirable dim areas. The uniformity is 0.5 for infield, and 0.4 for outfield (Minimum to Maximum Ratio). Hence, we can see a higher standard is needed for infield.


3. Flicker-free Lighting

The maximum speed of baseball and bat is around 100 to 150 km/h. Our LED lights support 6000 Hz high-speed camera. Hence, we will never miss any critical moment.


4. CRI

According to the guidebook, the CRI of the lighting is at least 65 for baseball stadiums. Our LED lights have 80 CRI, which allows the camera to capture the “real” color.
