Buyer’s Guide for LED Flood Light

Flood Lights are high-intensity luminaires with a wide beam of light that can illuminate a vast area. These high-powered luminaires are commonly employed in the regions that demand uniform illumination throughout, such as stadiums, manufacturing plants, shipyards, and industries.

Apart from sustainability, LED flood lights offer a variety of other advantages. For example, they provide long-term performance while reducing upfront capital expenditures. 

Consider the following when looking to buy LED floodlights:

Appropriate Color (or CCT)

The color temperature of an LED flood light is the essential factor in determining its color (measured in Kelvins). LED lighting producers have developed flood lights in various colors to serve a variety of uses over time. People may choose a color based on personal preference or the function it will perform in a room. Flood lights with a color temperature of 5000k, for example, are commonly used in outdoor sports stadiums.

Flood lights in white are perfect for use in garages and lampposts. In addition, most LED flood lights emit light in just one direction, making them ideal for use as downlights and overhead lights.


Motion Sensor

Because of its low cost and user-friendly nature, motion sensor flood lights are currently quite popular. Infrared sensors are utilized in conjunction with them. They usually have a 180-degree range of motion and can pick up people and objects from up to 75 feet away. Depending on the sensor, the light will stay on for 1-10 minutes before automatically turning off. As a result, it provides a high level of security and assures that no energy is wasted if you forget to turn it off.

Warranty and Life-span

Because of their extended life, LEDs are often recognized as the most outstanding lighting alternative. They can last for about 50,000 hours on average. However, to only purchase things that are covered by the manufacturer's guarantee. Also, before buying an LED flood light, customers should look for other qualities such as IP certification, housing and lens quality, efficiency, and so on.


CRI (Color Rendering Index)

The Colour Rendering Index (CRI) is used to assess color quality. CRI is a metric that measures how accurately colors are portrayed under various lighting conditions. The CRI scale runs from 1 to 100.  The CRI of natural sunlight is close to 100, and a CRI of 100 indicates that the bulb generates a wide range of colors. The CRI of fluorescent lamps is 70, and the CRI of LEDs ranges from 70 to 90.

LED Tubes: Advantages of LED T8 Light Solutions

Since the launch of LED technology,  The new generation of T8 LED tubes delivers optimum brightness at low power consumption. These tubes are divided into three types. Type A: Ballast Compatible Type B: Not compatible with the ballast  Type A + B: Can work with or without the help of ballast The ballast section controls energy distribution to ensure that the required voltage, current, and waveform are present when a traditional light source like the fluorescent tubes or HID lamps is turned on and operated.  T8 LED bulbs do not require this additional electricity consumption; therefore, eliminating the ballast saves you energy right away because you aren't wasting energy to ballast draw. Each modified fixture uses a few watts less without a ballast. T8 retrofits assist the older fixtures by using the ballast feature to control power consumption and distribute uniform brightness. Usually, the use of ballast has lowered down, giving way to new generation T8 LED tubes. ...
