The Lumen Of Flood Lights

Flood lights, which are also known as security lights, are strategically placed to provide high quality lighting for areas such as over-head highway sign lighting, billboard lighting, building facades, and other similar applications. Targeting the correct flood light for different applications can be challenging due to the number of options available for these light fixtures.

The future of LEDs is bright. LEDs take the least amount of energy and are rapidly being perfected in brightness and appearance — evolving from their bluish/white glow into a variety of incandescent, warmer options. It’s no wonder they are gaining dominance in the marketplace.

Whether you are interested in the quality of light or the energy-saving benefits, it’s time to start thinking in terms of lumens when it comes to lighting your outdoor space. How many lumens you need, depends on the use of the area you are lighting.

A lumen is simply a unit of measurement of visible light. When shopping for newer, energy-efficient LED light bulbs, understanding light output in lumens is essential. Not surprisingly, more lumens equals more brightness. If you are looking for the brightest LED bulb for floodlights for example, simply find the one with the most lumens.
