LED floodlights are an effective way to light open spaces both indoors and outdoors in an economical and energy-efficient way. Compared to traditional halogen floodlights, LED lights are 90% more energy-efficient as well as being incredibly long-lasting, making them the perfect choice for hard-to-reach areas. This guide to LED floodlights should help you to choose the right LED floodlights for any indoor or outdoor setting.
WHAT ARE LED FLOODLIGHTS USED FOR?
Floodlights are more commonly used as security lights, but this isn’t their only purpose; they are popular in both domestic and commercial settings for a range of uses including as porch lights and security lights, as well as being used in large spaces such as warehouses, sports grounds and retail outlets to illuminate a large area. While floodlights are sometimes used in smaller spaces, they are most often used as a simple, efficient way to light large spaces and outdoor locations due to their power and size.
LED floodlights are quickly becoming the most popular type of floodlights on the market. This is due to a number of factors: LED bulbs are cheap and efficient, producing a huge amount of light compared to the cost of the lights. LED lights also have a very long lifespan of up to 50,000 hours, which means lower maintenance and replacement costs when compared to halogen floodlights. LED floodlights are also very simple to use and look after, and they are not produced with mercury or lead which makes them safer than other kinds of floodlights. This means that LED floodlights are an excellent choice for long-term bright light supply to large spaces.
PIR FLOODLIGHTS
Most floodlights are activated by motion, which means that they’re programmed to save energy by switching off when light isn’t needed. One of the most advanced types of motion sensor technology is PIR, or Passive Infrared Receiver. Floodlights with PIR technology are some of the most sensitive on the market, and they work by detecting tiny amounts of heat which are emitted by objects within the sensor’s field of vision. PIR floodlights are both extremely beneficial as a source of security and also cost-effective due to the savings made when the lights are not in use.
