Stadium lighting must be designed with several perspectives simultaneously in mind Players must see the ball in play and be able to view the field without pockets of shadow or blinding glare in their eyes

The best lighting for a baseball field or stadium is not the brightest possible light, but rather the most evenly distributed, glare-free light Too often, DIY installers overspend when buying baseball field lights, buying both too many fixtures and fixtures at too high a wattage output

Because of the growing number of private volleyball courts and recreational volleyball courts in residential areas and neighborhood outdoor recreation areas, the floodlights of yesteryear are rapidly being replaced by sharp cutoff volleyball court lighting fixtures and metal halide or high pressure sodium lamps

Because the standard unit of measurement in any outdoor lighting design is the footcandle, government regulations normally specify footcandle minimum requirements for parking lot lighting, and security lighting, and athletic field lighting One sport that warrants particular attention to footcandle lighting levels is soccer

A softball field of any size will provide a more enjoyable game for players and fans if lit with specification grade softball field lighting supplies, equipment, poles, and accessories Although many organizations such as small municipalities and churches on tight budgets are often tempted to invest in cheaper retail grade luminaires and mounts, it never serves them in the long run
