Broad beamed high intensity artificial lights. Mostly used in large outdoor spaces, or plain landscape used for any commercial purposes.
Flood light fixtures provide artificial general lighting and can be mounted on a pole, top of buildings, wall or ground. They are ideal for use in the exterior of buildings , particularly large ones requiring high output and broad light distribution. These fixtures can be used in parking lots, garages, stadiums, etc. because they come with built-in LED arrays, motion sensors or photocells.
They are ideal for security and landscape lighting.
Uses:
General outdoor illumination
For security purposes.
In stadiums for professional sports
Concerts or shows
Types:
Metal Halide: The most common floodlight type uses metal halide lamps that emit a bright white light (typically 75–100 lumens / Watt).
Sodium-vapor lamps: They are commonly used for sporting events, because they have a very high lumen to watt ratio (typically 80–140 lumens / Watt), making them a cost-effective choice when certain light intensity levels have to be installed.
LED: used at large sport grounds for lighting purposes. The main advantages of led bulbs in this application are their lower power consumption, longer life, and instant startup. no warm up so reduces delays in game play.
There are several outdoor LED flood lights available in the market:
1. LED Area Fixtures
This is a line of area light fixtures for commercial applications.
also has several configurations, hence, the wattage, lumen and color temperature tend to differ.
2. LED shoebox floodlight
They differ in light distribution and have varying color temperatures ranging from 3k-5k and are the best fit for commercial uses such as construction areas, showrooms, parking garages etc. requires yoke mount, trunnion mount, slip fitter mount, or wall bracket.
3. LED Spotlights
With narrow beam angle they can be used on streets surrounding the houses. They provide directional light so could be placed in parks, jogging track usual landscape and accent lighting applications.These lights come with a knuckle mount which allows their installation on the ground to produce an uplight effect which are also suitable for uplifting trees and houses.Therefore, they bring out the elegance of artifacts that they illuminate while also ensuring the area is protected.
4. Bullet flood lights
sealed fixtures which protect external contaminants like debris , moisture and bugs from adversely influencing the efficiency of the light. The fixture is composed of pre die-cast aluminium housing with shatter resistant glass used on landscapes.
Flood lights are a safe and useful lighting application for outdoor environments. So one should know their direct application and avoid using them in closed areas, in or around areas with chemical substances. There should be proper ventilation as these lights operate on high power and generate heat. Must be placed above from average human eye level on plasterboard,wooden surfaces as plastic and polystyrene are highly flammable.
They are designed to operate on permanent and fixed connection and their lamps are irreplaceable and require no maintenance.
LED flood lights are eco friendly and they do not contain any harmful chemical like mercury,lead etc. they generate less heat and more lumen output i.e 100-200 lumen per watt.
Conclusively, due to their efficiency and reliability in outdoor environments they are widely in demand and have replaced all traditional luminaires
