Firstly. What is a led searchlight ?

LED floodlighting makes the illumination of a specific illuminated surface higher than the surrounding environment, also known as floodlighting. Usually, it can be pointed in any direction and has a weatherproof structure. LED flood lights are mainly used in large area operational mines, building plans, stadiums, bridges, monuments, gardens and flower beds. Therefore, almost all large-area lighting fixtures used outdoors can be considered as spotlights.

LED flood lights consist of 3 parts: optical, mechanical and electrical. The optical components are mainly the reflector and shading nets which limit the light. The mechanical parts are mainly the housing, the focusing mechanism for positioning and adjusting the position of the light source, the lamp fixing bracket, the base, and the angle indicator parts for adjusting the projection direction of the luminous beam. For the vast majority of enclosed floodlights, the mechanical parts are protective glass and various sealing rings. Depending on the environment, some have metal mesh. Well-functioning spotlights are also equipped with air filters. The electrical components are mainly ballasts, capacitors, drivers (depending on the needs of the light source), etc.

The flood lights are colorful, monochromatic, soft, low power, long life and up to 50,000 hours lighting time. LED flood lights are compact, easy to hide or install, are not easily damaged, have no heat radiation, and are conducive to protecting the luminous object, and have a very wide range of applications.

Floodlights have a wide or narrow beam angle, ranging from 0° to 180°, with a particularly narrow beam being called a searchlight. You can adjust the lighting angle to achieve a better area lighting effect.

Some things you should know about buying floodlight

secondly. LED spotlight sources

The LED spotlight is controlled by a built-in chip. There are two types of products, one that uses a combination of power chips, and the other that uses a single high power chip. The former more stable performance, high-power single product structure is massive, suitable for a small range of light irradiation. The latter can reach very high power, with long-distance light projection. From small wattage 50W to large wattage 500W, high power LED flood lights to irradiate 5-30 meters distance, especially suitable for building facade, outdoor landscape lighting, wall, display board color.

Below are pictures of the HomeBest SMD and COB light sources on the MJ model respectively, SMD may be less expensive than COB in comparison. If you want to know more about SMD and COB, you can refer to the article: The Secret of COB Light Source You Don’t Know.

Third. Flashlight protection levels

General flood lights use imported high-brightness chips, high brightness, low power consumption and low heat. Because flood lights are often used outdoors, high performance of water and dust resistance is mainly required. High pressure die-cast aluminum construction 4mm tempered safety glass features: symmetrical and asymmetrical light distribution options Good glare control; Lighting electrical integration, light and beautiful shape, simple installation; Dust and water resistance IP65.

In order to meet the minimum safety performance requirements for outdoor use, the housing protection level of the spotlight must be IP3 (open type). In order to improve the durability of luminaires and reduce the burden of maintenance work, buyers pay more and more attention to the development of enclosed floodlights with higher one-time investment cost and casing protection class of IP55. The Homebest series of flood lights have reached IP65 housing protection class.

In order to further improve the light output ratio of the lamp, the reflector tends to adopt the block plate surface reflector which helps to reduce the light source blocking the light, and the multi-focus reflector which meets the special lighting requirements; The surface treatment of the reflector surface tends to adopt new materials and new technology to obtain a reflection ratio of 96% or more.
