Why Your Next Outdoor Installation May Be LED
Did you know? Flood lights are the most popular type of lighting used for outdoor commercial properties. Flood lights are successful in illuminating small, but especially large areas. They can unleash a broad beam that can cover a lot of ground. Big beams of artificial light are incredibly beneficial to your commercial property. From covering parking lots to huge sporting arenas, LED flood lights are the brightest solution to your outdoor space's needs.
Reasons to Upgrade Your Lighting System
There are several benefits to following the modern trend of installing LED lighting systems. Continue reading for reasons why your next outdoor installation should be LED:
Flood Lights are Eco-Friendly
LED flood lights are quite energy-efficient. Lighting experts have crafted these lights with state-of-the-art technology to be more sustainable and cost-effective. Another way they are good for the environment is because, unlike older lighting solutions, LED lights don’t contain toxic mercury, lead, or other harmful substances. Choose this eco-friendly solution to resolve your lighting issues.
LED Flood Lights Last Long
The lifespan of an LED flood light is incredibly impressive. They can last ten times longer than other filament or gas-based lights. They can also remain operational for almost 40,000 hours. Eliminate the need to constantly replace your bulbs when installing an LED flood light system.
Add a Safe, Modern Look
LED flood lights give a modern and inviting look to wherever space it is illuminating. Impress guests, customers, or whoever steps foot on your well-lit commercial property with an LED installation. It can also elevate the level of safety people feel when on your property.
Lights That Can Handle the Heat and Cold
LED flood lights can withstand harsh weather conditions—both in extreme heat and intense cold. They also do not emit heat, so there’s no reason to suspect an accidental fire may ensue.
How to Choose the Right Flood Light
Knowing how to choose the right flood light is all dependent on your needs. Here are some things to keep in mind when deciding how to light your space:
Consider Location
Where will you be placing the flood lights? Are you going to try and cover the entirety of a lawn or field? Wide spaces need wider beam angles, usually 120 degrees is acceptable. Ensure this light points away from windows, as to not continuously flash yourself.
Utilize LED Flood Light Features
Modern flood lights can offer more than just working by a standard on/off switch. You’ll gain access to so many features when it comes to operating flood lights, like setting them to sync with the sunrise and sunset. Similarly, you can choose to get motion-sensor flood lights that detect movement. These are great for securing a property to its fullest.
Understanding Lumens
Lumens measure how bright a flood light actually is. If you need a brighter light to cover a bigger space, consider upgrading your number of lumens. Synergy Electric can work with you to discover the best number of lumens to illuminate your space.
Angle of Detection
When switching to a motion-detected LED light, you absolutely must consider the angle you set your sensor for. Only standard LED sensor-based flood lights work when an object comes into the scanner’s view— meaning you’ll need a larger detection angle if you’re working on identifying targets who stand off to the sides. A wider detection angle means more safety and peace of mind.
