Flood lights are high-intensity lights designed to illuminate various outdoor areas across multiple industrial, commercial, and domestic properties. These lights are favoured by a great range of users due to their highly intense and bright light, mostly installed along pathways, entryways, and other places and buildings for illumination and safety purposes. They come in different shapes, sizes, and watts depending on the brightness and space for illumination. Furthermore, they come in distinct types, styles, and designs, ideal for specific applications, including:
- Linkable Floodlights
- Indoor and Outdoor Floodlights
- Remote Control Floodlights
- Wall Mount Flood lights
- Slimline Flood lights
- Wide Beam Floodlights.
Why Are They Called Floodlights?
Most people think of a flood as water when they hear about floodlights; however, they do not correlate with water. They are called floodlights due to their extensive area flooding with brighter and high-intensity light beams.
Key Benefits of Flood Lights:
Flood lights offer multiple advantages, including:
- They provide high-intensity and powerful light beams in any weather.
- High lumen output with high energy efficiency.
- Feature excellent thermal management.
- They are maintenance-free and environmentally friendly.
- Ideal for various applications with easy installation.
- Available in multiple package options and mounting styles.
Types of Flood Lights:
Floodlights come in various types, such as:
These lights are ideal for maintenance workers, builders, and technicians due to their portable and rechargeable features. They are supplied with shock-resistant LED bulbs that emit more lumens per watt, making them suitable for portable applications.
- Halogen and HID Flood Lights
Halogen floodlights house halogen bulbs, whereas HID (High-Intensity Discharge) floodlights use gas and electricity for light production.
- Weather Resistant Outdoor Flood Lights
These lights feature high IP ratings with varied mounting options, making them ideal for outdoor areas including playing fields, loading bays, and car parks.
Security Light. Security lights are designed to protect against potential intruders and secure premises with built-in motion sensors.
These flood lights are made from durable ABS plastic housed in aluminium for lightweight designs. They are suitable for harsh environmental conditions, with slimline versions for space-limiting areas.
Some lighting kits and flood lights are often supplied with or come with built-in solar power panels for power storage during the day and are used for lighting at night.
CFLs (Compact Fluorescent Floodlights) are highly energy efficient, compact, and smaller floodlights where most of their power is converted to light rather than wasted.
Applications of Flood Lights:
Flood lights are widely installed across domestic, commercial, and industrial buildings for illumination purposes. They offer excellent applications in a range of environments, including:
- Manufacturing Plants
- Construction Sites
- Ports
- Stadiums
- Concerts
- Architectural Buildings
- Monuments
- Facade Lighting (Security Applications).
