RLL Design athletic and sports field lights feature multi-tap ballast control in voltages of 120, 208, 240, 277, and even 408V. Athletic and sports field lighting fixtures can either be 400 or 1500 watts in strength.

Baseball Field Lighting

RLL Design baseball lighting fixtures feature sophisticated optics and advanced reflectors that generate superior lumens per watt output in comparison to competing models.

Professional designers can point out that safer conditions and more efficient use of power carry a built-in return on investment, giving their proposal stronger negotiating power when bidding on jobs for municipalities, little league associations, churches, and summer camps.

Softball Field Lighting

Softball field athletic lighting fixtures feature advanced anodized reflectors in 2, 4, 5, or 6 optic measurements engineered to increase lumens per watt output. This brings a competitive advantage to situations where clients are operating on tight budgets. Often, recreational softball fields require only 400W fixtures strategically positioned for effective lighting. This energy efficiency of a lower wattage system allows contractors to win bids in even the most competitive environments, and opens the doors for them to service everyone from small churches, rural school districts, and homeowners associations.

Volleyball Court Lighting

Most recreational volleyball courts can be lit with a general area sports lighting kit. Fixtures feature high-pressure sodium lights that provide excellent illumination and also work to repel insects.
