LED Flood Light Fixtures


Benefits of LED Flood Lights

If you’re tired of dealing with dim, yellow lighting around your property, upgrading to LED flood lights can significantly enhance both visibility and safety. Perfect for residential, commercial, and industrial applications, flood lights offer wide-beam coverage and a bright, consistent light ideal for security lighting, signage, and architectural accents.

Unlike traditional halogen or HID lighting, LED flood light fixtures use integrated LED technology, eliminating the need for frequent bulb replacements. They’re built to last—often rated for 50,000+ hours of operation—and offer reduced maintenance, improved energy savings, and better performance in all conditions.

Explore our wide range of flood light fixtures by lumen output, including:

You can also choose from field-selectable LED flood lights to customize color temperature and brightness on-site.

Where to Use LED Flood Light Fixtures

  • Parking lots and loading zones
  • Building exteriors and architectural wall washing
  • Sports fields, stadiums, and arenas
  • Landscape and signage illumination
  • Residential driveways and backyard security

LED flood lights are available with various mounting options including wall, pole, and knuckle mounts for easier installation and flexible coverage angles.

For added convenience and efficiency, many LED flood lights are compatible with:

  • Motion sensors – activate lights automatically when movement is detected.
  • Photocells – turn lights on at dusk and off at dawn.
  • Timers – schedule light activation only when needed.

Note: When using photocells with LEDs, be sure to select one that is LED-compatible. Incandescent-rated photocells may not function properly with LED circuitry.

Lumen Output and Color Temperature

Selecting the right LED flood light bulb or fixture depends on your space and lighting goals. Two main specs to consider:

  • Lumens measure brightness. Lower-lumen lights (~1000–3000 lumens) work well for smaller spaces like driveways, while higher-lumen lights (>10,000 lumens) are better suited for parking lots and commercial exteriors.
  • Color Temperature (Kelvin) affects the appearance of light:
    • 3000K (warm white): Great for landscape lighting and accent lighting
    • 4000K (cool white): Suitable for general outdoor lighting
    • 5000K (daylight): Ideal for maximum visibility in large, open spaces

IP Ratings & Durability

Most LED flood lights are wet location rated, and many also carry IP65 or higher protection levels. Here’s what IP ratings mean:

  • First digit (dust protection): 6 = Dust-tight
  • Second digit (water protection): 5 = Protected against water jets from all directions

These ratings ensure the light fixture will perform reliably in outdoor environments exposed to rain, snow, or dust.

FAQ: LED Flood Lights

What is a flood light?

A flood light is a broad-beamed lighting fixture designed to illuminate wide areas. It's commonly used for security, landscape, architectural, and commercial lighting applications.

How to install flood lights?

LED flood lights are typically hardwired into existing electrical systems. Installation may require mounting the fixture to a wall, pole, or junction box and connecting to a compatible power source. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and consult an electrician if unsure.

What are flood lights used for?

Flood lights are used to illuminate outdoor spaces like parking lots, signage, building exteriors, sports fields, and landscapes. They provide wide-angle light for security and general visibility.
