installation of flood lights

Flood lights are broad beamed high intensity lights for outdoor areas which require artificial daylight like light. These outdoor light fixtures can withstand all extreme climatic conditions.

A flood light body has an aluminium housing, it houses the light bulb and heat sink.

The outer body is of high quality polycarbonate material which has fins to dissipate heat.

The outer body has several bracket designs to mount the flood light and protective covering features, which makes the light fixture more resistant.

The glass covering allows diffused, glare-free light at both wide and narrow beams.

For:

• large construction sites,
• Mines,
• Stadiums,
• highlighting monuments,
• parks,
• outside residential and commercial buildings for security and lighting reasons
• Street lights

Flood lights come in different shapes and sizes to suit the needs of the area.

Keeping in mind the area, a photometric study is essential to calculate the number of fixtures required and their placement to avoid dark spots. For smaller spaces, like parking lots or outside homes, one or four fixtures placed adjacently are enough for adequate lighting.

When deciding on the fixtures, the lumens must be calculated per fixture.  It can be decided according to lumen output per fixture with respect to total requirement according to photometric study.

LED lights are preferable in all scenarios as they are brighter, efficient and cheaper than compared to their counterparts. Finding a good balance of even lighting and costs is the goal.

Spacing between the fixtures is necessary to set up an evidently efficient lighting theme according to the place they are used at. The height at which the flood light is mounted on must be four times the size of the area that needs lighting.

Spacing between each pole must be double the size of the height of the fixture.

The light setup in a field or stadium must be in a way that there are no shadows or dark spots in the field. Crossover light comes from different fixtures. This is achieved by setting up the beam angle according to the height of the fixture with accurate spacing.

The beam angle is at least T rd of the distance that needs light.

LEDs flood lights are wide angle lights available in various designs. They are the best replacement for HID lamps, which are a go-to- choice for flood lights.

A 150 watts LED lamp is an adequate and much cheaper replacement for a 400 watts HID lamp. LED lamps feature many customisations, such as correlated colour temperature and high colour rendering index, so one can choose warm or cool light in different colours according to the purpose.

Flood lights are usually a long-term investment, LED flood lights have a longer life span as compared to other lamps. They require less maintenance and barely ever cause any problems during their warranty period.

When choosing lights for yards, garages, parking lots or any outdoor spaces the first concern is pleasant light with longer life span, these lights are the safest most economic answer to this concern.
