What are Floodlights and Where are Flood Lights Typically Used?

What is a flood light?

A floodlight is a powerful outdoor lighting fixture designed to provide broad illumination over a large area. It is commonly used in outdoor spaces like stadiums, car parks and home gardens, it can also be used indoors in places like warehouses, workshops, and halls. They typically provide bright, wide-angle lighting for security, safety, or decorative purposes.

Floodlights are known for their high lumen output and wide beam angle, allowing them to provide intense illumination over large areas. With the use of energy-efficient LED technology, floodlights can now consume less energy and have a longer lifespan compared to traditional halogen or incandescent lamps.

Why are floodlights called 'floodlights'?

Floodlights are named "floodlights" because they provide uniform illumination without casting shadows. This wide distribution of light sets floodlights apart from spotlights, which produce a narrow and focused beam.

How much area can one floodlight cover?

In simple terms, the following specifications of floodlights mainly cover the following area ranges:

• 10W LED floodlight covers an area of ​​10 x 10 meters.
• 30W LED floodlight covers an area of ​​20 x 20 meters.
• 50W LED floodlight covers an area of ​​30 x 30 meters.
• 100W LED floodlight covers an area of ​​50 x 50 meters.
• 200W LED floodlight covers an area of ​​100 x 100 meters.

If you are using it for outdoor lighting, such as a large area such as a warehouse, stadium, outdoor garden, then you will need a floodlight with higher power. Generally, 100W, 150W, and 200W floodlights are more popular.
