You Need to Consider a Few Things When Choosing the LED Floodlight.

LED Flood Lights:

LED floodlights are great for security, working outside and reducing energy bills. Our handy guide will let you know what you need to look out for before you make your purchase.

What would I use this floodlight for?

Floodlights are more commonly used as a deterrent for criminals but can also be used for general lighting purposes. With a weatherproof rating of IP65, this light is designed to be used outside even in the worst of weathers.

LED floodlights have many uses, from security purposes to porch lighting, and can be used both domestically and commercially.

The best thing with LED floodlights in particular is that they consume a lot less energy than, while still giving you an amount of light that could only be matched by using a huge quantity of bulbs or less efficient halogen floodlights. They are also built to last 50,000 hours which is far longer than their halogen counterparts.

At Light N Shine, we also stock portable and solar floodlights, more of which later on in the blog.

Why would I buy this instead of a halogen floodlight?

You need to consider a few things when choosing the brightness of your floodlight.

First off, location is important. How much area needs lit up? Will you be intruding on your neighbor’s property? Will you be distorting the vision of oncoming drivers? You can generally avoid the latter by making sure the floodlight is pointed downwards at a 22° angle. However, these are all important factors to consider before mounting your floodlight.

As with all LED lights, floodlight brightness is most accurately measured in lumens, rather than watts. For instance, a 10W LED floodlight will give out the same brightness (900 lumens) as a 60W halogen, but it’ll consume far less energy.

The LED floodlight’s benefits far outweigh those of the standard halogen floodlight. While a halogen bulb has to be changed, this LED has a lifespan of up to 50,000 hours. On top of that, the LED uses less energy than a halogen bulb. This saves you time and in the long term saves you money.
