Flood Lights

A flood light is a luminaire that spreads light beyond the boundaries of other, more focused lights. These multi-purpose fixtures add splashes of light to large areas of your landscape lighting project, and can be used for trees, structures, walls or even as security lights to deter trespassers with their high luminosity and wide light distribution. Floodlights include a range of fixtures of various shapes and sizes. The common factor is a very wide beam angle – typically in the range of 60º to 120º. Please note that when describing outdoor light bulbs, we use "flood" to mean beam angles from 30º to 38º, "wide flood" for 60º, and "very wide flood" for 80º to 100º.

Spotlights are used for emphasis in outdoor lighting – to call attention to specific architectural or landscape features. Unlike floodlights that shed light across a wide area, spotlights have narrower beams so they can focus on one thing at a time.

When considering how to choose floodlights, understand that it depends on your application. Floodlights can be mounted on gutters or roof edges to illuminate the second story of a home, or used to illuminate walls, garden beds, low-lying plant material, buses, small trees, or stands of multiple trees. They can be mounted at a height greater than 20 feet to illuminate decks, patios or lawns. And they can be used in commercial or municipal applications to light signs, facades and public areas.

Low voltage is generally the choice for residential applications, and among those fixtures, our 30W RGBW flood light produces up to 3000 lumens of light output - plus vivid color-changing capabilities. It's ideal for illuminating expansive landscape areas or large architectural features, particularly when color is desired. But bear in mind, less is often more in outdoor lighting. While maximum brightness is needed for some applications, other times it can be a good idea to choose the least amount of light that will do the job.
