What are the best outdoor flood lights? There are many types of commercial area lighting fixtures such as LED, metal halide, mercury, HPS and fluorescent. The LED always as the better performance in terms of energy efficiency, durability and light uniformity. We can save a lot of money and reduce the pollution after doing the LED replacement, as suggested by Department of Energy’s outdoor LED area lighting guidebook. Waterproof is one of the essential features as the lighting fixture will frequently encounter bad weathers such as thunderstorm and even earthquake. This page is going to explore 50 Best LED flood lights for outdoor areas such as backyard, sports field, airport, warehouse, parking lot and other countless applications.
10 Reasons Our LED is the Best Outdoor Flood Lights
1. Our LED Lighting is More Durable for Outdoor Areas
Although there is no official meaning of flood lights, they are generally referred as the artificial bright light that illuminate the large areas. The lighting fixture should have high durability because the maintenance cost can be reduced, especially for the commercial parking lot and sports stadium. One of the paramount factors we should consider is the life span of LED lights. It is worthwhile to make the investment on LED lights as it is at least 5 to 10 times more long-lasting than the incandescent bulb, halogen or other HID lighting solutions. It is because the LED is referred as the solid-state lighting that does not contain delicate parts such as filament and brittle glass.
Our LED luminaries have life cycle of 80,000 hours at L70. It means you can operate it for 27 years for 8 hours per day. L70 represents the brightness falls to 70% of its original value after turning on the luminaries for 80,000 hours. The people use 70, but not 80 or 90, because human eye can feel this decline significantly. The advantages of the incredible long-life span include reduction of the replacement rate and maintenance cost. It not only saves our earth, but also let you get rid of frequent repair and reduce your cost. Promotion the use of outdoor LED lighting fixture is good for us.
2. Waterproof & Dustproof Ability of Commercial Outdoor Flood Lights
Outside LED lights can resist the bad weather such as thunderstorm, snowstorm and dustorms, especially in US or UK. “IP” stands for ingress protection. Our basic version of outdoor lighting fixture has IP66, which means complete protection of dust, and it supports prolonged immersion of water. Besides, since our products are made of quality aluminum alloy, it is anti-corrosive as well. If they become dirty after backyard gathering and barbecue party, you can clean them with ease by using water jet.
3. LED Lights are Heat-resistant
During summer, the scorching sun burns not only our skin, but the flood lights. Our Outdoor LED lighting functions normally under the temperature of 55°C. Sometimes we reinforce the lights so that they can even work in extreme condition. As you can see from our water boiling test, it demonstrates our outdoor flood lamp supports IP68 waterproof ability as well as 100°C high temperature. The LED survives in this harsh environment.
4. LED Flood Lights have Higher CRI & Uniformity for Exterior Security
Many household or commercial users utilize motion sensor flood lights to detect trespassers in their backyard, walkways or other private areas nearby buildings. According to exterior security lighting guide, we can select the LED lights having CRI 80 or higher. It is because we can see the real color of the objects. In case there is vandalism, the high CRI lighting allows the CCTV to capture the genuine color of the shirts, shoes of the invader.
Moreover, in accordance with the US Department of Energy’s outdoor lighting handbook, we should consider the following factors before buying the security floodlights, such as vertical and horizontal illuminance, uniformity as well as glare control. Sometimes photosensor can be used to save much energy because it detects if there is sufficient daylight and then adjust the brightness of the artificial lights for outdoor parking lot or street lighting.
5. Flicker-free Illumination of Outdoor Sports Flood Lamp
Flickering outdoor floodlights affect the vision and performance of sports player as it fatigues their eyes. Why the LED lights flicker? It is attributed to improper types of dimmer. There are two mechanisms for dimming the lights. The first possible way to reduce the brightness is to rapidly turn on and off the lights with hundreds Hz. The disadvantage is that if you dim the light more, the flickering issue becomes more serious as the interval between on and off is increased.
To avoid this problem, our LED floodlights adopt the second principle – by reducing the voltage and current output to the lights. Before launching the products, we put our floodlights under flickering test. The difference between highest and lowest lumen is only 0.3%, which is unable to detect for human eyes and up to 6000 Hz high-speed camera.
6. Outdoor LED Lights have Higher Energy Efficiency
When it comes to lighting for outdoor area, replacing the existing street lighting fixture and floodlight with LED saves more than 50% energy because of higher lighting efficiency (lumens per watt) of LED. The overall electricity cost of outdoor lighting is about $10 billion for each year in US. The tips for buyer is that we can have a look at the specification of lm/W, which indicates how bright the light would be for each wattage consumed.
Our LED flood lights have high 140 lumens per watt, which is around 2 to 3 times of metal halide and mercury lamps, and 10 times of incandescent bulbs. We have a wide range of powers available from 50 to 10000 watt, which fits for almost all kinds of outdoor areas such as parking lot, garden, sports field, public park and more.
MH can be regarded as the relatively energy-consuming light source. Especially for the large area lighting, the difference in the electricity cost can be very huge. According to one of our cases, the client saves US$120,000 electricity cost per year after the replacement of metal halide to the brightest flood lights LED. They have 3 large football pitches, and the brightness and lifespan of LED are very well.
7. Anti-glare Optics to Reduce Light Pollution
The light pollution is caused by unnecessary lighting, maybe due to light scattering or improper projection of lights. Especially for the outdoor security lighting and street lighting, if your lamp has large beam angle and high power, it is easier for the light beam to escape and thus light up the unnecessary regions. It affects both citizens and other animals’ quality of lives.
Nonetheless, our outdoor lighting system is equipped with Precise Optical Lens System which concentrates the lights to the ground. Another effective way to solve the light pollution caused by outdoor flood light is to install the shield onto the lamp. We customize the accessories to redirect the lights to the targeted areas.
8. Modular Design for Easy Repair
When you need to repair of the LED flood lights due to the unforeseeable damage occurs, you have no need to repair the entire unit. Instead, you can take the broken unit out and then connect the functionable unit inside the hole again. We can provide you with free module for replacement. Our clients found that it is a very good feature, especially outdoor. It saves a lot of time of repair. In fact, when the light goes off unexpectedly, might be due to artificial damage by people, it can cause a lot of loss. For example, the soccer stadium lighting, parking lot and airport. These venues cannot operate without the application of brightest lighting fixtures.
9. LED Lights do NOT Emit IR & UV
UV-free spectrum is another important feature for outdoor commercial floodlights. Comparing with metal halide, white LED light contains 400 to 700 nm only, and there is no leakage of UV light and infra-red lights. However, you can easily discover the light having wavelength higher than 700 nm emitted from metal halide lamps. So, a coating is needed inside the MH; however, there is still a chance of UV coming out from MH. Using LED technology can completely get rid of the harmful UV light production. We precisely preset the spectrum of the LED flood lights before delivery so as to eliminate the UV that leads to skin cancer.
10. Light-weight Outdoor Lighting Fixture
Keeping the LED less heavy is vitally important because each light pole has different weight bearing limit. If the luminaries exceed the limitation, you will need to reinforce the light poles. The cost can be higher than the luminaries themselves. Our outdoor flood lights are made of aluminum alloy which is strong & corrosion resistant yet light-weight.
