Flood lights are the go-to choice for lighting up large outdoor areas. This Dr. Light guide explains how to choose and place LED flood lights for homes, factories, yards and signage.

1. Know what flood lights are for

Flood lights spread a wide beam of light across an area, which makes them ideal for building facades, parking areas, gardens, factory yards and signage. For narrow paths or accents, a more focused fixture may suit better.

2. Plan coverage and placement

Rather than one very bright fixture, larger areas are usually lit better with a few flood lights placed to overlap their coverage. This reduces dark spots and harsh shadows. Browse the flood lights range to compare options.

3. Choose the colour temperature

Outdoor areas typically use Cool White for clear, alert visibility. Warmer tones can be used for decorative facade lighting where a softer look is wanted.

4. Mount at the right height and angle

Mounting height and tilt affect how far the light reaches and how much glare you get. Aim fixtures so the beam covers the area you need without shining into windows or eyes.
