LED Floodlights are a type of outdoor lighting used in many residential landscaping plans. These fixtures are used to provide relatively large amounts of light to an area, or "flooding" it with light. There are many different types of floodlights to choose from, and each offers different levels of illumination and energy consumption. When comparing floodlights, consider the intended function of each unit along with the cost of power and maintenance.
Compare the intended function of each floodlight to your lighting needs. Some floodlights are designed to enhance safety and security while others are used to provide light for outdoor activities. Look for floodlights that will meet your needs, then compare other features.
Consider style and design. Floodlights are available in many different styles and finishes. Look for units that complement your home and blend in with your backyard landscaping. Choose a finish that will hold up against exterior elements, such as nickel or chrome, instead of steel, which may rust over time.
Review the bulbs required for each type of light. Different lighting technologies require different bulbs and consume different amounts of power over time. Fluorescent and halogen bulbs use less energy and cost less to run than incandescent bulbs. LED lights are among the most cost-effective, while any bulb powered by solar technology will help keep your electric bill in check. When comparing bulbs, consider the upfront cost of each bulb, its expected lifespan and the amount of energy needed to run each bulb.
Compare the light output of each type of floodlight. The amount of light a lamp produces in measured in lumens, so higher numbers of lumens means a greater amount of light. The distance this light can travel is measured in foot candles, so look for higher numbers of foot candles if you need each light to cover a larger area.
