How to choose a good outdoor LED floodlight?

Today, more and more people want to improve the lighting outside their homes. But they don't know how to choose the right LED floodlight.

Good floodlights can not only provide good lighting, but also save energy. Once you decide to set up any type of outdoor LED floodlight, we recommend that you consider the following aspects.

1, power selection
Floodlight power ranges from 20W to 1000W; But how much power should I choose? If you plan to use the lights in the backyard of your home, for a barbecue party, or for an outdoor event, the Lux level should be around 100. How to find the corresponding wattage? For example, if you have a yard of 50 square meters, the required brightness is 50 x 100 = 5000 lumens. For an LED with 130 lumens per watt, the required power is 5000/130 = 38.5W. So 40W leds would be appropriate. This value increases as the size of your backyard and Lux requirements increase.

2. Service life
Longer life lights are always your best choice, because the cost of buying and installing new lights is high, especially if you are making a large-scale replacement. If the lights are turned on for 10 hours a day, the leds can run for 22 years.

3.Waterproof

Waterproof is an important feature of outdoor LED floodlights. In order to be able to work in rain and snow storms, lamps should have at least IP65 protection rating.

4. Dissipate heat
A good floodlight should have an effective cooling system to transfer heat from the internal structure to the outside. Aluminum is a good conductive material for making heat dissipation systems. We can choose leds made of aluminum or related alloys.

5. Warranty
Longer warranties can reduce your maintenance costs, and you should choose floodlights that are guaranteed for more than 5 years
