What are LED outdoor floodlights?

LED outdoor floodlights – these are lamps suitable for outdoor and various weather conditions, designed to illuminate both smaller and larger areas. Such outdoor spotlights are characterized by a large and concentrated light flow, so they are especially useful in the dark, when you want to enjoy warm summer evenings in the yard, garden or homestead. Usual LED outdoor floodlight emits light at an angle of 120°, so one powerful searchlight can be enough to illuminate the entire area of ​​the yard, and by combining several searchlights from different corners of the space, larger squares, car parking lots, apartment yard areas or other outdoor spaces can be illuminated with high quality.

What makes LED outdoor floodlights different from other lights?

Get used to it interior lights are not suitable for outdoor spaces - they are affected by various weather conditions, such as cold, humidity or dust. Using indoor lights outdoors can lead to unpleasant consequences, such as short-circuiting and corrosion (decomposition of metals). Meanwhile LED outdoor floodlights are made of durable materials resistant to various environmental factors, so they are not dependent on weather conditions, and at the same time they are tight and durable. Due to the high power, such floodlights are also suitable for illuminating outdoor areas with continuous light around the clock, and certain floodlights also have a motion sensor that helps to automate the operation of the light only when necessary and reduce electricity costs.

Where can LED outdoor floodlights be used?

As we have already mentioned, the application of LED outdoor floodlights is really wide, so they are used both in outdoor spaces of an industrial nature, as well as in personal yards, celebrations and the like. It can be seen that outdoor floodlights are attractive not only as a light source, but also as a security attribute, especially in parking lots or apartment yards. Due to its technical characteristics, LED outdoor floodlight we suggest using:

• For lighting parking lots, garage areas, dormitories or apartment yards;
• For the lighting of yards, gardens or homesteads of private houses;
• For the concentrated lighting of garden objects or decorations of a smaller area;
• For outdoor lighting of commercial and factory areas (eg: construction sites, open warehouses, etc.)

How to choose the right LED outdoor floodlight?

When choosing an LED outdoor floodlight, we recommend taking into account certain criteria that distinguish floodlights from each other. Depending on the individual parameters and certain technical characteristics, floodlights can be purposefully applied in specific outdoor areas.

• Purpose. First of all, it is important to know what type of outdoor space you intend to light and what are the dimensions of that area. This will help you refine the following criteria that will be important in meeting your expectations. Also, all outdoor floodlights can be fixed externally both to the ceiling and to the walls, which allows you to find the most convenient lighting angle and provide high-quality lighting even in the outdoor area with a roof.
• Luminous flux and power. Numbers indicating power (W) and light flux (lm), determines the intensity and brightness of the spotlight, so pay attention to these indicators when choosing an outdoor spotlight. This criterion is especially important if the outdoor area you want to illuminate is a temporary or permanent work area during the dark of the day or requires care and vigilance, such as a construction site, outdoor workshop or car service garage. In the Sviesoscentras.lt assortment you will find floodlights with different parameters from 10 W to 100 W power. Here it is LED outdoor spotlight NOCTIS2 – an optimal option that will usually suffice if you don't have exceptional lighting requirements.
• Color of light. The light color indicator defines the temperature of the light, which can be warm white, neutral white and cool white. As with indoor lighting, outdoor lighting also has recommendations depending on the purpose of the space, for example:
  • Warm white (3000 K) provides non-binding and relaxing light, so it is especially suitable for celebrations in the homestead or evening sittings in the yard.
  • Neutral white (4000 K) is an intermediate option that gives the impression of cleanliness and allows to illuminate the area a bit more clearly, so it is more suitable for lighting apartment yards and paths between garages.
  • Cool white (6000 K) promotes alertness and productivity, and also does not strain the eyes during more thorough work. We recommend using this color of light in construction or factory sites and in open garages or garages.
• The angle of the light beam. If you want to illuminate a wider outdoor area with one spotlight or in one direction, then look for a spotlight with a larger light beam angle. Often, the light beam angle of outdoor floodlights varies from 100° to 120°^°, which is the optimal option for lighting small areas of the yard or garden.
• Resistance class. Depending on the indicator number, the floodlight is more or less adapted to outdoor space and weather and environmental conditions such as humidity, cold or dust. The first number of the indicator means protection against solid particles, while the second number means protection against liquid ingress. The LED outdoor floodlights in our range are rated from IP44 to IP65, which means they are all suitable for outdoor use.
• Color. We can offer our customers two colors of spotlights: black and white. Since LED outdoor floodlights are usually hung above or on the wall, their design and color remain neutral and easy to adapt.
• Motion sensor. LED outdoor floodlight with motion sensor especially suitable for yard lighting, because by turning on only when necessary, it helps to reduce the consumption of electricity. If you have your own house and want to light the yard or entrance, you win not only lower electricity costs, but also have a certain security system that notifies you of unexpected guests at night. Moreover, the LED outdoor spotlight with a motion sensor helps to avoid constant distracting light, especially when the illuminated outdoor area is right next to the bedroom windows. The same applies to the lighting of the courtyards of apartment buildings and dormitories. In addition to these benefits, motion sensors offer more advantages, such as:
  • Allows you to set the education time after triggering the sensor;
  • It is possible to adjust the sensitivity of the sensor - it means to turn on in certain natural lighting conditions;
  • The possibility of changing the distance in which the motion detector sensor works.
