LED Flood Lights

There are several things that you need to consider when shopping for LED flood lights. The best flood lights are the ones that do everything they’re meant to. For instance, energy efficient flood lights should consume up to 90% less energy than halogen lights. They can last for up to 30,000 hours or much longer and offer cool running temperatures. LED floods normally have metal heat sinks which stop them from becoming too hot to touch. Your LED flood lights should also have wide beam angles, which deliver excellent coverage and make your space more secure. Your lights should offer constant quality performance, no matter what the British climate throws at them. It’s a good move to seek out waterproof and dustproof floodlights to get the protection you need.

A 50 watt LED is the equivalent of a 500 watt halogen light. It will give you the same amount of light but be much cheaper to run and use much less energy. This is just one reason why so many people are switching to LED lights from their halogen equivalents.

To find out how bright an led outdoor flood lights is, look at how many lumens it has. When you are buying a floodlight, think about how big your space is. The larger it is, the more lumens you will need. It’s important to avoid buying a flood light designed for commercial or industrial use if you need something for a domestic setting. That’s because the brightness could irritate your neighbours and cause complaints. Domestic floodlights normally offer between 400 and 3,000 lumens. Industrial floodlights start at around 4,000 lumens and go right up to 24,000 lumens.

Yes. Halogens were the most popular outdoor lights before LEDs become more widely available. People are replacing halogen flood lights with LEDs because the latter emit less heat, have longer life spans, and are more durable.

The wattage that you should opt for will depend on various factors. Lights under 40 watts are regarded as low wattage lights. They may be ideal if you want to use less electricity but are generally better for smaller areas like doorways and entrances. Lights with wattages of between 40 and 80 watts are marketed as medium-wattage lights and are normally great for gardens and patios. High-wattage lights have 80 watts or more and are normally used in commercial or industrial environments rather than domestic settings.

This depends on the space you’re lighting. A small patio will normally need around 600 to 700 lumens. A small garden is likely to need between 1800 and 2300 lumens. A large patio may require between 1200 and 1600 lumens, whilst a large garden could need 2500 to 3500 lumens.
