How to choose the right LED floodlight?

The process of buying everything always depends on your needs. But there are some things you may want to consider when choosing an LED floodlight.

The location. Where do you want to install the LED floodlight? In your home, right? In the backyard, right? Or in your garage, perhaps? Or your business? The first step is to determine the location.
The nature of the LED floodlight required. Do you want distributed light or concentrated light? The decision will help you choose the right beam angle of the LED floodlight that meets your needs.
Luminous efficiency. This determines how much energy the LED floodlight will save. So when you buy an LED floodlight, you need to look for “lumens per watt” because this is the indicating unit of luminous efficiency. The higher the ratio, the more efficient the LED floodlight is.
Good heat dissipation. This means that the heat generated by the LED floodlight is well handled. Therefore, the LED floodlight will not be damaged by overheating. A good heat sink is made of pure aluminum with a thermal conductivity of up to 238 W/MK – the higher the number, the higher the thermal conductivity.
Outdoor floodlights are waterproof and dustproof. It is a must for LED floodlights to be waterproof. It is an asset for specific environments, such as playgrounds and underwater lights.
Color rendering index. This index determines whether the color of the LED floodlight will appear well under specific lighting. For example, lighting on a playground requires a CRI of 80. For settings that retain concentrated lights, such as art galleries, sometimes a very high CRI of 90 to 95 is required.
Flicker issues. The naked eye may not notice flicker at all, but it may be obvious under the camera, especially in slow motion. To guarantee a good LED floodlight, the flicker rate must be less than 0.3%. If the LED floodlight has a flicker rate below 0.3%, even a TV broadcast camera will not notice any flicker.
Detection angle. For example, street LED floodlights have a dusk to dawn sensor so that the LED floodlight only works after dark and turns off at sunrise.
Currently, almost all LED floodlights produced have the option to include the sensor in the LED floodlight. If not, an external sensor can be connected to the LED floodlight. Having an LED floodlight sensor gives you the advantage of saving electricity.

LED floodlights are a practical solution that can flood a lot of light with good coverage.
