LED Flood Lights
LED flood lights are built to deliver long-lasting, energy-efficient illumination for a wide range of outdoor commercial applications. These powerful fixtures provide broad beams of light to enhance visibility and security around building perimeters, loading docks, and signage. Compared to traditional HID or halogen systems, our outdoor LED flood lights consume significantly less power while providing instant-on brightness and a durable service life that reduces long-term maintenance costs.
We offer a versatile selection of LED flood light fixtures available in multiple mounting options—including knuckle mount, slip fitter, trunnion, and yoke mounts—to accommodate any installation requirement. Whether you need a slip fitter for pole-top parking lot coverage or a knuckle mount for precise directional accenting, our fixtures feature rugged, weather-resistant housings and Field-Selectable CCT. This flexibility ensures you can tailor the light output to improve site safety, visibility, and security to your property’s exterior.
Answer summary: LED flood lights are specified by mounting height, beam angle, aiming geometry, glare control, and site function—not wattage or lumen output alone.
Flood Lighting Specification Guidance
Proper flood lighting performance depends on mounting height, beam angle, aiming geometry, and glare control. Incorrect fixture selection can result in excessive spill light, poor uniformity, or non-compliant site illumination. For a complete breakdown of exterior photometric planning, mounting strategies, and code considerations across area, canopy, flood, and wall-mounted fixtures, reference our commercial site lighting buying guide.
Specification note: Common flood lighting failures include poor aiming that creates hot spots or shadows, excessive uplight or light trespass beyond property lines, and improper beam selection that causes glare at driver or pedestrian eye level, increasing liability risk and municipal non-compliance.
Technical Selection: Choosing the Right Flood Light Mount
Selecting the correct mounting hardware is as important as selecting the fixture itself. The mount determines how accurately the beam can be aimed and how stable the fixture remains under wind and vibration.
Knuckle & Yoke Mounts
Best suited for wall-mounted security lighting and ground-mounted up-lighting. Knuckle mounts provide wide adjustability for precise targeting of signage, façades, and architectural features.
Slip Fitter & Trunnion Mounts
Specified for pole-mounted perimeter lighting and heavy-duty exterior installations. Slip fitters mount directly to standard 2-3/8" tenons, making them ideal for parking lot edges and site boundaries.
Advanced Optics for Exterior Spaces
Flood lights are typically specified for targeted illumination zones rather than uniform site coverage, making beam angle and aiming geometry more critical than raw output.
Wide vs. Narrow Beam Angles
Our LED flood lights utilize precision optics to control light distribution. Specify Wide Flood (NEMA 6×6 or 7×6) patterns for general area coverage and wall washing. Use Narrow Spot optics for long-throw applications or architectural highlighting where spill light must be minimized.
Durable, Weather-Rated Construction
To withstand harsh outdoor conditions, our flood lights feature die-cast aluminum housings with corrosion-resistant powder-coat finishes. With IP65 or IP66 ingress ratings, these fixtures remain sealed against dust, rain, and wind-driven moisture in exposed environments.
Energy Savings with Integrated Photocells
Many models support integrated dusk-to-dawn photocells, enabling automatic operation based on ambient light levels. This ensures consistent nighttime security while eliminating unnecessary daytime energy consumption.
