Flood Lights

Flood lights are a type of lighting fixture that are designed to cast light at a wide angle, often light up a large outdoor area. They are commonly used to illuminate sports fields, building facades, and parking lots and can be adjustable to focus light in a specific area. Flood lights can also be directed away from buildings, walls, and other sensitive areas.

Flood lights come in a variety of shapes and sizes, including narrow spot, wide spot, flood beam, and adjustable beam. These provide lighting solutions for a range of applications, from illuminating large areas to focusing light in a select location. Durable construction ensures reliable performance.

Flood lights are ideal for outdoor applications such as security lighting, building accent lighting, and large area lighting. They are designed to be waterproof, durable, and provide superior illumination levels across wide areas. With their wide selection of wattages and beam angles, they are perfect for any lighting project.

LED flood lights offer superior quality and excellent value for money, with an energy efficiency of up to 80%. With an impressive 100,000-hour lifespan, they are designed to last, making them a great long-term investment. The LEDs provide a bright, even light and can easily be dimmed - making them ideal for both domestic and commercial applications.

Flood lights are exterior lighting fixtures that are designed to spread light over a wide area. They are perfect for accentuating outdoor architectural features, lighting large open spaces, and providing supplemental lighting for parking lots and other areas.

Choosing the right outdoor flood lights for your needs can be a daunting task. With so many options to choose from, you want to make sure you are finding the most energy-efficient and powerful lighting solution. To ensure you are getting the best outdoor flood lights for your space, consider the degree of beam angle, wattage, and safety features.

If your looking to find the brightest outdoor flood lights you should look at the lumen output of the fixture, not the wattage. For example, if you have a fixture that is 400 watts and provides 21000 lumens and you have another fixture that is 320 watts and provides 23500 lumens, the 320 watt fixture is the brightest. So, its important to look at the lumen output of the outdoor flood light and not the wattage.

To determine what size flood light you will need will depending on a couple of different factors such as the distance the flood light will need to project the light output and the size of the area that needs to be illuminated. If your trying to illuminate small areas such as pathways and doorways, flood lights with 1500 to 4100 lumens would be appropriate. Larger areas such as parking lots and roadways require flood lights that can provide 13000 lumens and up.

The only difference between spot and flood lights is the beam angle at which they deliver light output. Spotlights deliver light output at a beam angle that is no wider than 45 degrees, whereas flood lights provide a beam angle of light output that is greater than 90 degrees.

Even though wattage plays an important role when it comes to outdoor LED flood lights in terms of efficiency, it doesn't give an accurate account to the light output they will provide. Instead, you will need to look at the lumen output the outdoor LED flood light will provide to determine which fixture would be most suitable for your application.

A motion flood light is an outdoor flood lighting fixture with an integrated motion sensor. This fixture will have the same design as a standard outdoor flood light with the only exception being the motion sensor that is installed to detect movement and motion.

Dusk to dawn flood lights feature a dusk to dawn sensor that is integrated into a conventional flood light to control when the light comes on and goes off. The dusk to dawn sensor will turn the flood light on when it gets dark and turn it off when it detects the presence of sunlight.

In today's current market, the most powerful LED flood light would exceed 50000 lumens, which is equivalent to a 1000W and above HID fixture.

There are several different installation options for outdoor flood lights depending on which type you have. These options include knuckle mount, slip fitter mount, trunnion mount, and yoke mount. You will need to run power to the outdoor flood light from and existing switch and junction box.

Typically, when it comes time to wire flood lights in outdoor applications you will need to pull wire or run conduit from a power source over to each fixture for them to operate.

To install a junction box for a flood light, several steps need to be closely followed.

1. Shut the power off at the junction box to the area where the flood light will be installed.
2. Run the wire or conduit from a power source to where the fixture will be placed.
3. Mount the junction box to the wall or soffit.
4. Pull the wires through the junction box and make the appropriate connections to the flood light.
5. Finish mounting the fixture with the included mounting hardware to the junction box.
6. Turn the power back on and the flood light should be operational.

To properly position flood lights on a house, first your need to take into account where the windows and doors are located because you do not want the light shining into your house during the night time hours. For proper placement, you should position the flood lights between windows and door frames, not in front of them, this will help to highlight your home without having the light spillover into the house.

To replace a flood light you first need to turn the power off going to the fixture. Disconnect the wiring going into the fixture and unmount it from where it is installed. Then install your new flood light in the same way the old fixture was removed and turn the power back on.

Determining how many lumens you will need for an outdoor flood light depends on a few important factors. First, take into account what you will be using the flood light for, will it be used for just accent lighting or to illuminate larger areas for safety and security purposes. For small areas that just need accent lighting, a flood light that provides 2000 to 5000 lumens would work just fine. If your trying to illuminate a larger area, you will need a flood light that provides more than 10000 lumens. Keep in mind the mounting location and how far the light will need to be projected plays a role in determining the correct amount of lumens needed for an outdoor flood light as well.

The easiest way to determine how many amps flood lights use is by taking the total wattage of an individual fixture and dividing by the input voltage. For example, if you will be using a 100 watt fixture and the input voltage is 120V, the flood light would be drawing 0.83 amps.
