Two common types are a clear lens or frosted lens.
Lens – The type of lens a lighting fixture uses will influence how light is dissipated. Other mounting options such as a Slip Fitter Mount involve mounting the light up on a pole. For example, some mounting options such as a Trunnion Mount allows the flood light to cast illumination from side-to-side. Certain LED flood lights are photocell compatible and can serve as “dusk to dawn lights.”īase – The base for a flood light involves the type of mount to attach the fixture. In other words, once it becomes dark, the light will turn on. Photocell – A photocell uses a sensor to detect the level of lighting available outside and turn on if necessary. LED flood lights generally come in two different measurements: 4000K, and 5000K.ĭLC Listed – DLC stands for Design Light Consortium and certifies that the product can perform under high levels of energy efficiency. This ranges from 15 watts all the way up to 400 watts.Ĭolor Temperature (Kelvin) – Kevin or color temperature basically corresponds to the color of the light projected which also correlates to heat. LED flood lights come in a wide range of wattages. Generally speaking, higher wattage lights will project more lumens (brightness). Wattage – Wattage refers to the amount of power a light projects. This unit essentially measures the brightness of the light. Lumens – Lumens measures the total amount of light emitted per unit of time.
