When you think about a flood light you probably think about the standard square versions. We're here to let you know that not all flood flights are created equally. They also come in a bullet form, architectural designed and stadium light versions.

Architectural flood lights exist to give your fixture an extra bit of flare. These fixture includes a nice visor to help spread light more evenly. They can accent a home’s architectural details, as well as define entrances and walkways.

 

Our best seller is the standard square LED flood light version that comes in an array of wattages (15W to 500W) and sizes. A rule of thumb: The higher the wattages the larger the size of the fixture. What we like about these fixtures are that they are compact and can be used in an array of applications. They can be installed on the floor in concrete, dirt or grass, mounted onto on a wall, off a ledge and more to give you the best light possible for your project. 

Mounting Options

What is a Knuckle Mount?
An adjustable knuckle-mount bracket allows for aim-able illumination of a desired object such as a tree or sign. Suitable for sign lighting, billboard lighting, building façade lighting, architectural wall washing, outdoor displays, and security lighting
What is a Trunnion Mount?
A trunnion mount also known as yoke mount is often used for wall mounting. This allows you mount the light on any flat surface such as a wall, concrete floor, square pole or bull horn.
What is a Slip Fitter Mount?
A Slip fitter mount is for round light pole for mounting a single lighting fixture. 

Color Temperatures

These bad boys are BRIGHT and come in different color temperatures. The most standard temperatures are 3000K, a soft white glow, 4000K, a daylight glow and 5000K, a crystal white glow. For some lights a 6500K temperature is also an option which will give off a cooler white. We have an array of flood lighting to chose from in order to complete the exact look you are looking for.

Material Finishes

Most items are created with a die-cast aluminum housing with powder coat finish in bronze or white.    

Climate

An IP rating from 44 to 64 works in mild climates. But for extreme weather conditions, we recommend flood lights with a rating of IP65 or above.
