What is an LED floodlight?

LED floodlighting makes the illumination on the designated illuminated surface higher than the surrounding environment, also known as spotlighting. Usually, it can be aimed in any direction and has a structure that is not affected by climatic conditions. LED floodlights are mainly used in large-area operational mines, building outlines, stadiums, overpasses, monuments, parks and flower beds. Therefore, almost all large-area lighting fixtures used outdoors can be regarded as floodlights.

LED floodlights are made up of 3 parts: optical, mechanical and electrical. The optical components are mainly the reflector and the light limiting shading grids. The mechanical parts are mainly the housing, the focusing mechanism for fixing and adjusting the position of the light source, the bracket for fixing the luminaire, the base and the parts with angle indication for adjusting the direction of projection of the luminaire beam. For the vast majority of enclosed floodlights, the mechanical parts are also protective glass and various sealing rings. Depending on the environment, some have a metal grille. Good-performing floodlights are also equipped with air filters. The electrical components are mainly ballasts, capacitors, triggers (according to the needs of the light source), etc.

Floodlights are colorful, monochromatic, soft, low power, long life and up to 50,000 hours of luminous time. The LED floodlights are compact, easy to hide or install, not easily damaged, no heat radiation, beneficial to protect the illuminated object, and have a very wide range of applications.

Floodlights have a wide or narrow beam angle, varying from 0° to 180°, where a particularly narrow beam is called a searchlight. You can adjust the angle of illumination to achieve a better area lighting effect.

LED floodlight light sources

LED floodlight is controlled by the built-in microchip. There are two types of products, one using a combination of power-type chip, the other using a single high-power chip. The former more stable performance, and a single high-power product structure is huge, suitable for a small range of light irradiation. The latter can reach a very high power, with long-distance large area light projection. From small wattage 50W to large wattage 500W, high power LED floodlights irradiate a distance of 5-30m, especially suitable for building bodies, outdoor plaza landscape lighting, wall, display painting color.

Below are pictures of the Homebest MJ style floodlight SMD and COB light sources respectively, The SMD may be less expensive than the COB in comparison. If you want to know more about SMD and COB, you can refer to the article: The Secret of COB Light Source that You Don't Know.

Floodlight protection levels

General floodlights use high-brightness imported chips, high brightness, with low energy consumption and low heat. As floodlights are often used outdoors, higher performance for waterproof and dustproof is required mainly. High pressure cast aluminum molding shell, 4mm toughened safety glass features: symmetrical and asymmetrical two light distribution options, good glare control; lighting electrical integration, light and beautiful shape, simple installation; dustproof and waterproof grade IP65.

In order to meet the minimum safety performance requirements for outdoor use, the housing protection level of the floodlight should be IP3 (open type). In order to improve the durability of the luminaire and reduce maintenance workload, purchasers are paying more and more attention to the development of enclosed floodlights with a higher one-off investment cost and a casing protection class of IP55. The Homebest series of floodlights have reached a casing protection class of IP65.

In order to further improve the light output ratio of the luminaire, the reflector tends to adopt the block plate surface reflector which is conducive to reducing the light source blocking light and the multi-focus reflector which meets special lighting requirements; the surface treatment of the reflector surface tends to adopt new materials and new technology to obtain a reflection ratio of 96% or more.
