In recent years, LED floodlights have become a popular choice for energy-efficient and modern lighting solutions in both residential and industrial settings. This is no coincidence, as LED floodlights increasingly overshadow traditional light sources due to their excellent light quality, energy efficiency, and versatility.
Choosing the right product depends on several factors, some of which are crucial. In this article, we will cover how to select the model that best fits your needs and what to consider when making your decision:
Check the LED Floodlight's Power: Lumen and Brightness Values
The performance of an LED floodlight is determined by two main factors: lumen output and brightness.
What does the lumen value mean?
The lumen value represents the total amount of visible light emitted by the floodlight. It is usually measured in lumens (lm), and the higher the lumen value, the brighter the light.
Did you know? Asalite offers a wide range of LED floodlights with lumen outputs ranging from 800 lumens to 18,000 lumens.
What does the brightness value mean?
Brightness indicates the intensity with which light radiates over a given area. It expresses how far the light from the device extends.
Did you know? Asalite's range includes models from 10W smaller units to high-performance products with 100W, 150W, and 200W, delivering outstanding lumen outputs.
Check the LED Floodlight's Color Temperature
Color temperature determines the color and mood of the light. A warmer color temperature (about 2700K-3500K) creates a pleasant, friendly atmosphere, while a cooler color temperature (about 4000K-6500K) provides functionality with sharper, more contrasting lighting.
For outdoor lighting equipment, we recommend choosing models with a cooler color temperature for illuminating parking areas and other industrial environments.
Check the LED Floodlight's Beam Angle
LED floodlights come with various beam angles. Narrow beam angle floodlights (typically 15°-30°) provide more focused lighting, while wider beam angles (typically 60°-120°) cover a larger area.
Did you know? Asalite models can illuminate spaces with a 120° beam angle, making them ideal for residential environments (yards, patios, driveways, etc.) and outdoor areas of industrial buildings.
Check the IP Rating of the Outdoor LED Floodlight
If you plan to use the floodlight in an outdoor or damp environment, it is crucial to consider its IP protection rating. The higher the IP rating, the better the device is protected against water and dust. Look for aluminum-cased models with an IP65 rating for water resistance.
Check if the LED Floodlight has a Motion Sensor
LED floodlights equipped with motion sensors are ideal for areas where the lighting needs vary.
Looking to save energy? A floodlight with a motion sensor helps save electricity by only turning on when needed. Additionally, a motion sensor reduces the need for manual switching.
Did you know? You can save even more energy by choosing the increasingly popular solar LED floodlights!
What is a Solar LED Floodlight?
A solar LED floodlight utilizes solar energy for operation. These models come with built-in solar panels that efficiently collect sunlight, which is then used to power the floodlight's LEDs during nighttime or overcast periods. This system is not only eco-friendly but also helps reduce your home's energy dependence!
Did you know? Solar LED floodlight models operate without a power grid, making them easy to install in any environment. These models are highly energy-efficient and suitable for all lighting needs, whether for a garden or an isolated building – with high IP protection, they are an excellent solution for both indoor and outdoor settings!
Check the Price of the LED Floodlight or Outdoor LED Floodlight
When selecting an LED floodlight, the price is a key consideration, especially if you are looking for products to light a larger area. The price of an LED floodlight is influenced by the technical specifications, size, and performance of the product.
Currently, Asalite’s product range is priced between 2,237 HUF and 20,762 HUF for online purchases. For B2B purchases, please register at the following link for discounted prices: Asalite B2B.
Where Do We Recommend Installing LED Floodlight Models?
We recommend LED floodlight models for the following locations based on a wide range of lighting needs:
- Yard and patio lighting,
- Driveway lighting,
- Indoor garage lighting,
- Facade lighting,
For B2B partners:
- Parking lot lighting,
- Tennis court lighting,
- Outdoor lighting for industrial units,
Conclusion
Choosing the right lighting fixture depends on several factors, and it is important that it matches the environment and purpose. Brightness, color temperature, beam angle, IP protection, and motion sensors are all features to carefully consider before purchasing.
Be sure to review the manufacturer's information and product assessments thoroughly to ensure that the chosen product meets all your requirements.
Choose wisely and enjoy the benefits of modern lighting with the right LED floodlight!
