LED Flood Light 240W and 300W | 5000K Commercial Grade

Light aimed at something, from a distance

A flood light does one job: it takes a lot of output and throws it at a target. A building facade, a yard, a loading area, a sports ground, the side of a storage shed. The fixture sits away from what it is lighting and covers it from there.

At 240W or 300W this is a commercial flood, not a domestic security light. Both versions run at 5000K, which is what you want when the point is to see clearly rather than to look welcoming.

Specification

Aiming a flood properly

• Mount it away from the target — a flood right up against a wall lights a bright patch and nothing else.
• Aim across, not out — keep the beam below the horizontal so it lands on the site rather than on the neighbours.
• Watch the glare line — stand where people will stand and look towards the fixture. If it is uncomfortable, drop the angle.
• Two from opposite sides beat one from the front. A single flood casts hard shadows behind anything in the way.

Covering a yard

At 25 feet, a 300W flood covers roughly 80 to 100 feet of yard at a usable level. For a larger area, two or three placed around the perimeter aiming inward gives far better coverage than one powerful fixture in the middle.

240W or 300W

Take 240W for yards, loading bays and building faces up to about three storeys. Take 300W for larger open areas, taller elevations and anywhere the fixture has to be mounted well back from the target.

Installation

Hardwired at 100 to 277V by a licensed electrician. Check the mounting bracket and the surface are rated for the weight and for wind load, since a flood presents a large face to the wind.
